Attachment The LaserActive by Pioneer was perhaps the most expensive gaming console ever at launch. The console cost $1,000 and required additional modules which cost an extra $600 each to play certain types of games. Games ran on LaserDiscs and the formats were Mega LD discs by SEGA and LD-ROM2 by NEC. The modules were also backwards compatible with Genesis and SEGA CD games on the SEGA module, and TurboGrafx-16 and TurboGrafx-CD games on the NEC module.

Attachment A glitch in the Spy's model will cause him to resemble a crab when holding his Disguise Kit and looking up.

The act of doing this became known as "Spy Crabbing", a light-hearted way to grief matches as the players would do nothing but walk around in this crab-like state. This eventually led to other players encouraging people to not kill these players and save the "Endangered Spy Crab".

Spy Crabbing became so popular that Valve not only opted to not fix the glitch, but added a taunt for the Spy that has a random chance of occurring when taunting with the disguise kit out. Instead of flicking his cigarette as usual, the spy will squat down, raise his arms like a crab, and click his fingers and disguise kit together like pincers.

A set of early development videos show that there were plans for battles to be conducted through a fluid transition in the game's field, rather than in a designated battle area. Enemies would rise from the ground as a battle began, rather than causing a screen transition.

There are multiple cut game modes, as revealed by the existence of sound files for them within the game's data. Some of these modes can even be played by hacking. These include:

• Arena: A game mode with no respawning. The objective was to kill all of the players on the other team, but if there was only one person left alive on each team, a flag would randomly spawn and the first person to capture the flag wins.
• Arms Race: Unknown. Only sound files remain.
• Defcon: There would be 5 Defcon phases which would count down. Play is normal at five. At four, each player goes into "Last Stand" upon death. Three makes weapons deal more damage. Two reduces the requirements for a kill streak by one kill. Defcon one disables respawning. After another minute, if one side has not eliminated the other, a nuke detonates, bringing the game to a draw.
• Die Hard: Team Deathmatch with Last Stand available for all players.
• Global Thermonuclear War: Involved protecting a nuke from the enemy team until the match was over.
• One Flag: One team protects the flag, while the other team captures it.
• VIP: Like Capture The Flag, except protecting a random player on the same team.

In the Japanese version of FF6, Setzer joins the party with a Bandana equipped, even though he cannot equip bandanas (if the Bandana is removed, he cannot re-equip it). This is not a bug, but was meant to be an inside joke showing Setzer's vanity does not allow him to wear the same things as Locke. In the GBA version Setzer does not come with a Bandana, as the porting team possibly thought it was a glitch.

The game will automatically try to match long or abnormally punctuated but somewhat near-coherent answers with a correct answer which may sound similar or feature some of the same letters.

A notable example would be "C D Player" (with a space between 'C' and 'D') may be recognized by the game as "Model Car".
