As a kid I saved up for a used laptop so I could play Halo LAN games with my mates. The computer didn't meet the required specs for the game, but it mostly worked if you turned the all the graphics settings down to low.

Except for invisibility: invisible players are normally rendered as, well, invisible, except for a slight rippling of the air that's only perceptible if you're a few metres away. But on my underpowered machine, invisible players were rendered as an opaque explosion of colourful glitchy noise!

We agreed to just not use the invisibility powerups after I got in some epic cross-map shots of supposedly invisible players.
