15 More Video Game Glitches That Became Gameplay Features

ERMAC – MORTAL KOMBAT

Ermac is one of Mortal Kombat’s most well known characters, and has featured in several games in the series over the years. Interestingly enough, his origins can be traced back to what was essentially an error message in the original game. Ermac literally meant “error macro”, but when people read “Ermac”, they assumed it was another ninja character in the game. His legend became so popular that Midway eventually decided to include him as an actual character in Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3.
