Quelques anecdotes bien sympathiques de programmeurs ayant trouvé des solutions immondes pour résoudre des problèmes de dernière minute. Ça fait très peur :)))

Back on the first Wing Commander we were getting an exception from our EMM386 memory manager when we exited the game. We'd clear the screen and a single line would print out, something like "EMM386 Memory manager error. Blah blah blah."

We had to ship ASAP, so I hex edited the error in the memory manager itself to read "Thank you for playing Wing Commander."

Les boules xD : 

It was only after all the carts had been ordered that we discovered the flash init code was dead, and that the carts could not save games properly! The studio went into meltdown trying to figure out how to ship 250,000 broken carts. Suggestions of production lines adding extra resistors and other hacks to every cart were tried and failed.
