This guy has either never used a MiSTer FPGA, or he's deliberately spreading misinformation. The video he linked, complete with timestamp, does not show the core crashing at all. Instead, it shows the credits screen listing those involved in the development of the project. From what I can see, this appears to be the core credits screen that was likely mapped to a controller button and triggered accidentally (I've done it myself). I've attached the video in question. Have a look and let me know if you think I'm missing something, but based on what I can see, this doesn't look like a crash whatsoever. Link to the tweet in question:

You punch your way through an entire crime syndicate to rescue the mayor’s daughter, only to reach the final boss – some poor old sod in a wheelchair. So naturally the heroic climax is you mercilessly beating up a disabled pensioner. Honestly, peak 80s gaming morality.

Operation Wolf is the peak of 80s action logic. You’re a lone commando gunning down entire armies, but your biggest priority is shooting passing chickens and pigs to magically refill your ammo. Nothing says elite soldier like a tactical pig-based supply chain. 🔫🐷

Final Blow is the only boxing game where the fighters are so massive they look like they’re trying to share a single sleeping bag. You don't even have room to punch; you just aggressively rub your sweaty 2D forehead against your opponent until one of you decides to pass out from the lack of oxygen 🥊🧖‍♂️💨 #FinalBlow #RetroGaming

Out Run (1986) by Sega wasn’t built as a traditional racing game, but as a “driving experience” by Yu Suzuki. Instead of laps or opponents, the focus was on freedom, letting players choose branching routes across multiple stages, each with different scenery, traffic patterns, and difficulty, leading to several possible endings. Technically, it was powered by Sega’s Super Scaler hardware, allowing smooth sprite scaling that created a real sense of speed, something few games at the time could match. The deluxe cabinet took it even further, physically tilting and moving with the road, turning it into a full-on arcade attraction. Its soundtrack by Hiroshi Kawaguchi was just as groundbreaking, giving players a choice of radio stations like “Magical Sound Shower,” helping define the game’s laid-back, road trip vibe. That mix of tech, music, and design is why Out Run is still seen as one of the most influential arcade racers ever made.

It features Cave’s trademark dense bullet patterns, a strong scoring system built around grazing and chaining, and a more story-driven presentation with human characters instead of spaceships.

Judge Dredd (1993) by Midway is one of arcade gaming's great "what ifs?" A digitised-sprite beat 'em up built on the same T-Unit hardware family as Mortal Kombat, it reached location testing but was cancelled before full release. Only prototype ROMs survived, making it a fascinating glimpse into a lost Midway arcade project. Fun fact: the prototype features multiple gameplay styles across its stages, including traditional brawling, platforming sections, and unique objective-based levels. The game even teased future content featuring Judge Death before development was halted.
