i used missingno sometimes in red/blue playthroughs to get all my pokemon to lv 100 and kill everything

i guess that was intentional though

Ocarina of time had a glitch where you could get unlimited golden skulltulas from a certain spot if you used the boomerang and warped out of the area.
This was also intentional and not found by myself.

Mario 64 I used some glitches to get things a bit faster kind of vague though that game had tons of interesting little glitches.

kirby dream land 3. Times when I didn't play with a friend I used the second controller to get an animal and just stop moving and move past the screen to avoid doing stupid shit to do the extra things in a few levels.
Not sure if it was intended to always get a bit of health back from eating gooey if you were barely alive but I always used that.

in civ 5 i play as harun al rashid and build trading posts everywhere so i can just buy armies and buildings with gold to win. but that's not really a glitch he's just op

I can think of a bunch I've found that were of no benefit, but I'm sure most people can.

The only one i can think of is that one from Pokemon R/B where you would talk to this one guy then swim up and down this strip of water and then start finding weird pokemon that don't belong there (and missing no). Yeah I found that on accident.

there's a glitch in the sims 3 that if you are self employed, you can raise your salary experience just by sliding the bar. my person ended up earning a million dollars every time she put out a book, i think

literally everytime I jumped up a steep hill in skyrim

I had a tendency to kick off the wall instead of hanging on in Mirror's Edge.

Mirror's Edge - "I'm a CHAMP!!"

I lucked out. Then it ran out.

I have some kind of a knack for accidentally clipping into walls and becoming invulnerable/invisible. I usually do this running from someone, who I then turn around and kill via shameless pot shots.

And then I stay there for the rest of the game, or until I run out of ammo.

Oh yeah around when BF3 came out, I played a match and somehow ended up being invincible. I got 30+ kills or so before I realized it what was actually going. I dicked around a bit then killed myself via the menu to not spoil it

The walls in tf2, I'm so used to videogames that have the plank of wood that sticks out from the wall but doesn't do anything that when I walk along the wall I always get caught for a split second saving me from sticky bombs around the corner or something

actually thats not really a glitch...

I remember I once hid under a hill that I clipped through once. A lot of sniper kills that way.
