I don't need to physically destroy systems, they do that by themselves with me around. Let's see, where to begin:
Apple II+: 16KB RAM expansion card caught fire while playing Autoduel. Burned through the top of the case.
Mac SE: Resistor blew up while playing Beyond Dark Castle, machine caught fire and filled the room with smoke.
PowerPC Mac: Went insane, started renaming all files as fonts, would turn on randomly and refuse to turn off (had to pull plug). System was wiped 5 times but problems continued.
Playstation: While playing at GR's office, game froze, screen turned entirely pink, hex code began running down the screen. At the top of the screen, the words "Watch in amazement as the Playstation eats itself" were displayed. That E3, I ended up talking to the hardware leads at Sony who started laughing their asses off. They didn't even know that screen existed, but knew who probably put it there.
I've had various other issues through the years, but those are the most notable. I suppose I should file for mutant registration before it gets out of hand.
- C!
