Okay, as the title says, this thread will deal with the Glitches and Easter Eggs in video games. For those who don't know what is a glitch, here is a definition from our beloved Wikipedia :
Those can also be performed on emulators (lots of Pokémon GEN1 Glitches videos are with emulators).
AND for Easter Eggs :
You can post the interesting glitches and easter eggs here or the glitches you find in video games, as a written explanation or video.
Myself I found a way to avoid Planet Damosel and Hypnomatic parts Hunting in Ratchet & Clank 2 (PS2). (Then you won't be attacked by Yetis all the moon crystals or whatever-they're-called mission long.)
You must finish the game before to perform this as you need the First Person Mode - Wall Climb Glitch.
Unfortunately, I finished the run before so I can't give you a filmed explanation.
I'll try to do my best to explain you it.
1. Look at this map :
Behind your ship, you have a black "circle". The said circle is solid, you can walk on it. First, enable the FPM to wall climb it once (TAKE THE LEFT). You'll be on the said circle. Walk until you see rocks, and wall climb them WITHOUT STOPPING (to prevent a fail)
Once you are close to a white-ish field (around 40-45°) you can deactivate the FPM. Once you're at the top, you'll see a field (on the map you'll be around the bottom of the box saying stuff)
Beat the enemies
And "decoy" the wall. Once you've got through the wall you can go to the teleporter and jackpot !

In video games, a glitch is a programming error which results in behavior not intended by the programmers. Glitches may include incorrectly displayed graphics, collision detection errors, game freezes/crashes, sound issues, and others. Some glitches are potentially dangerous to the game save data.
"Glitching" is the practice of a player exploiting faults in a video game's programming to achieve tasks normally impossible if the game's script runs as intended, such as running through walls or defying the game's laws of gravity. It is often used to gain an unfair advantage over other players in multiplayer video games.
During quality assurance (such as the role of a game tester for video games), glitches must be located, a report compiled, and then fed back to the programmers. (An example of this is getting to fight MissingNo. from Pokemon Red and Blue.)
Those can also be performed on emulators (lots of Pokémon GEN1 Glitches videos are with emulators).
AND for Easter Eggs :
A virtual Easter egg is an intentional hidden message, in-joke or feature in a work such as a computer program, web page, video game, movie, book or crossword. The term was coined—according to Warren Robinett—by Atari after they were pointed to the secret message left by Robinett in the game Adventure.

It's also the most useful glitch world to explore. I got trapped inside the Eagle's Tower a few times, and managed to reach the Animal Village without the Roc's Feather. All of the destinations I reached made the game unwinnable because of my lack of items. You should probably at least have the Power Bracelet before exploring the doghouse world, and visit one of the warp points.
