For all we know he's a legit member guys...let's not force him out until he makes it truly a spam post.
In the meantime - I liked this game error.

Re: Video game errors
The NES was particularly full of Japanese translated errors. The ending of Double Dragon for instance calls the two protagonists Bimmy and Jimmy.
Then there is also this infamous error from Zelda 2.

zelda II contains Error not an error. Error is his name nothing more
anyone have an idea how manufacturing errors like the ones i listed could happen? especially the ps2 one i'm confused how anyone could mixup a dual layer DVD with a ps2 DVD

Re: Video game errors
I have heard that rumor before, but never seen it confirmed. Someone would actually have to look in the game's code to see if Error was his intended name. It seems very unlikely and would have to be a huge coincidence if it was never an actual error.

And regarding the Zelda 2 character, screenshots taken from the Japanese version should be enough to settle it. Funny how no-one ever posts them.

I have never seen the Japanese version, but I did a google image search and found this:
How does that settle anything? I still don't know what it says. Even if it does say "I am Error" in Japanese, maybe the bug exists in both versions and Nintendo was just too lazy to fix it when porting it over to the US.

I can determine this: it definitely doesn't say "I am Errol" (as some websites insist). It says ERAA, which is almost certainly meant to be a transliteration of "Error".

俺の名はエラー。ゲッ・・・
(tough guy voice) "My name is Error. Ugh..."
It's written differently in the screenshot because this is a non-Japanese character speaking (and it's a game for kids).

Re: Video game errors
Several ways actually. Most of these things are cross-manufactured on assembly lines. It is more than possible than an assembly line worker just put the wrong thing into the wrong product. That happens a lot. Also, someone could have bought it and switched it, then repackaged it and returned it for a refund, then the store just puts it back out for sale again. Kids in particular think that is a funny thing to do.
if i could post images i would be able to show you that its not the case

Re: Video game errors
not intentional spam my apologies.
but not even being able to post images or links until 30 posts seems a little bit aggressive
and pictures speak louder than words

Spammers are aggressive, this prevents a lot of work for mods/admins. 30 posts usually indicates someone who wants to become involved in the forum, which is nice.
