A fun 16-minute video from outsidexbox with 7 examples of videogame bugs where the game creators not only owned up to their mistakes, but creatively acknowledged or remixed those bugs in subsequent versions:

I didn’t know about most of these, so I did some googling and created a list for reference:

Off the top of my head, I cannot think of any non-videogame software that received a similar “bugs as lore” treatment from people responsible for the bug in the first place.

Microsoft made a blue-screen-of-death screensaver, but it was originally third-party, and kind of a prank? A mean-spirited one? I didn’t find this particularly good.

The likely second-most-famous error message, the fail whale, transcended Twitter and was even referenced in other products

…but as far as I understand Twitter the company was itself embarrassed by it, and eventually switched the whale to a caterpillar.

(Those two examples aren’t really even bugs in the same category as those in the video, anyway.)
