I missed son of a glitch in old games, specially beloved ones like Tomb Raider. Thank you Andy!

[@IvanFranco120]

Yeah, i tried glitch hunting on old/classic games, or games that nobody did glitch hunting before...

[@SlippySlides]

Great job on this episode Andy. Enjoyed the combination of the speedrunning glitches and more general glitches!

[@IvanFranco120]

Yes

[@GalaxyWisp]

I once played a "Tomb Raider" demo and painstakingly climbed all the way to the top of the temple room (which took skill) overlooking a bed of spikes at the bottom below...and then jumped onto it impaling Lara on purpose.....I was a weird kid...

[@phantomgamer8929]

Love seeing the glitches in these older games!

[@IvanFranco120]

Same. 😉

[@Shifty989]

Me too

[@managingbusiness141]

Thank you for another great video, as always! My mom stumbled upon the slope, cliff, and door clips as she played back in the day, and used them at every opportunity in her playthroughs. It wasn't until I got older and learned about terms like "bug" and "exploit" that I realized the way she played this (and the sequel, and a few other games) was abnormal. When I finally told her about it, she was SHOCKED. She thought they were "secret tricks" coded in purposefully to reward clever players. She was really disheartened for a while after that, thinking bugs made her a cheater & bad at video games, but eventually she came back around and still casually hunts for glitches whenever she plays games.

[@CyanicCore]

That's just great. :)

[@1r0zz]

She is not wrong, as they do reward a clever player...

[@KasumiRINA]

In Portal, if you play with dev commentary, there is a way to avoid the puzzle they mention they kept in because they liked how ingenius it was for the player to find it.

[@sssj806]

Really missed this lately. Amazing content, as always 💪💯

[@pattongilbert]

Nice new theming and opening sequence. I like it a lot.😁 I do love when you do old games too. So many glitches that make it so fun.😂

[@realGeorgelucas18563]

I'm really loving the new intro and the graphics for button inputs. I'm not sure which of the classic Lara games it's in (mostly because I was watching a guy play mods), but there's another type of glitch for warping to the top of a wall. I might be remembering it wrong, but I though you have to throw a flare at a wall, then roll into it, and try to pick it up.

[@CursedinDisguise]

That's TR2 or beyond my friend

[@0PercentImagination]

As someone that likes to try climbing as high as possible in every 3d game (even ones where you can't jump) most of these glitches look quite fun to mess with even as a non-speedrunner.

[@MaherAnimations]

Happy to see you still doing these. I’ve been watching now for 6-7 years. You gave me a new love for video games :)

[@8thLife]

Such a great collection of glitches; thank you!

LMAO. 😅

[@hahashapesarefunny]

Haven't seen you in a while. Thanks for making my day today!

[@MachFiveFalcon]

I somehow missed this juggernaut of a game when it released because I was Nintendo only in those days, but the jankiness of the era is so nostalgic for me that watching all these glitches ironically makes me want to play it more now! 😂

[@XTHHedgehog]

I've never seen someone give walls such a huge middle finger. Stupendous.

[@DragonsLoverQc]

Actually, for the Tomb of Qualopec skip glitch, the trigger to load the normal state of the next room is at the first corner rather than in the spot provided at 5:56 (it's the corner BEFORE that spot). Lara must AVOID going over that corner square by jumping through the corner of the wall in order for the glitch to happen since it won't load the normal state but keep the collapsing state of the room. Stepping on the spot provided doesn't do anything and you don't need to jump over it. Also, if you fail, you can return back and try again.

[@eakmadashma]

damn video only uploaded 2 hours ago and ive never seen your channel before but the yt algorithm really blessed me with the sick recommended tomb raider content

fluffing love tomb raider. thank you

[@Shifty989]

Kudos to you Andy to actually be able to control Lara in these older Tomb Raider games. I tried to play them not so long ago and had to quit simply because analog controls just weren't around in this period and to actually perform the qwop glitch without them must be a whole finger gymnastics

[@AStartShow]

Quite the opposite. Because of the analog nature of the controls, they are always the same, meaning movements can be consistent, making stuff way easier

[@luissantiago5163]

Oh awesome! I have some catching up to do!

[@mish375]

There's actually a glitch you can exploit in Natla's mines to get the first fuse without running the hurdles and avoiding the lava pit to beat the boulder as well. If you go into the hurdle area, stop before the first hurdle, turn right, and then jump and grab the ledge but do NOT pull up yet. (Otherwise the top boulder will activate). Shimmy left until you're over the depression in the floor past the first hurdle. Any further will activate the top boulder. The trigger seems to be the grid space ahead of the depression in the floor. So if you shimmy above the depression in the floor, you can pull up safely without activating the top boulder. Then run along the top, jump the gap, and go to the end where you can duck into the hallway on the right and claim the first fuse.

The first glitch in a game I ever successfully did was the block corner glitch lol I remember being so happy cuz at the time the only other glitches I knew about in other games were so hard to do I just couldn't do it as a kid! Then of corse I did the most famous corner one to teleport you up lol it was the only ones I ever did til way later so it's awesome to still be able to do them in the remaster lol
