Keen 6 Glitch - Bloog Control Centre
This I discovered this glitch in the early- to mid-nineties. The eyeball seemed like a good saving checkpoint, but when I died and reloaded the game my folly was realised. It's interesting that nobody else seems to have mentioned it, so here it is on YouTube:

I read about this somewhere a long time ago about this bug, and then one time when I was playing it, I forgot and saved the game there, then as I jumped over I died on the electricity zapper things. Then I reloaded the game and was like Ah, Sh1t, now I remember and I had to just randomly walk around until I died then started the level back over.
Yeah, I discovered this too -- I always saved just at that point because as said, it's a convenient saving point.

Absolutely no idea. Can't remember if it's just that spot or if it happens on every eye, I think it was every eye but I'm too lazy to check. Still strange, as one'd think there's nothing special in those eyes.

My gut tells me it's because those eyeballs are a sliding pole immediately above a semi-solid platform (a platform you can jump down from).elecdude33 wrote:Anyway, I'm also curious as to why it happens. I can't think of any reason...
The inner workings of those two things may conflict just enough to screw up the camera when saving.
There are those other instances of bugs causing the camera to go off-track, so although I'd say the camera system is quite solid, it doesn't take a miracle to make it go screwy either.
Suddenly I have to think about jumping down from elevator platforms on their way down.
That never quite works as intended (by me anyway) either.
