In #SuperMarioBros3 the card matching mini-game only has 8 different layouts because of a bug in the shuffling #algorithm

Don't put hyperlinks in the title, it just types out all the formatting. Also, idk about fascinating.

they're a mastodon account @ tagging lemmy communities as a hashtag. It's not exactly their fault the title is borked, because they're submitting from a different platform.

@schizanon @gaming Thatโ€™s part of why Iโ€™m always surprised at how much people will rail on bugs in games now. I mean sure if a bug makes a game literally impossible to complete, rail away. But half the stuff people complain about are things that when I was a kid would have been treated as hilarious quirks and possibly things vital to the ability to speed run the games.
