>In the videogame Lost Vikings, released in 1992, the Vikings characters do a reference to Steve Martin which is historically impossible since the Viking Age ended in 1066 and Steve Martin was born in 1945.

Don't the Lost Vikings get transported into the future? In which case, this reference is either the narrator telling the audience or they're reading that word-for-word from the placard. Either way, makes perfect sense.

It's not the narrator. It's something the redhead (Erik? I forgot) is saying: it's text in a speech bubble. He's not reading anything aloud either as that would have been formatted with quotes.
No, OP is correct, it is an error. We should creat a patch to fix it and also preserve real nordic names like the developers intended.

In Impressions Games's series of city builders everything except great monuments will appear out of thin air after you pay some cash. All the citizens also speak in fluent English to you in spite of it not becoming a thing several thousand to several dozen hundread years after the games take place.

In Enter The Gecko, Gex says "12 years of full house" even though Full house only ran for 8 years. Even if you count the time from its end to when this game was made, it hadn't even been 11 years. The closest to 12 is the EU N64 version which is just a few months short of 12 but the quote had been around since the NA PSX version.

this screen appeared in just about every arcade game throughout the 80's and 90's. if you look closely you'll spot an error. did you see it? that's right. the vast majority of highly successful and extremely wealthy people, aka winners, do in fact DO drugs.

In Lords of the Realm 2 the advisor says that you need to keep the peasants happy to make them "multiply", but your populace is seemingly made up of humans and not organisms capable of mitosis.
Whenever you recive a letter from an AI opponent you'll also get a voice recording of whatever they've said, despite anything capable of transferring audio did not exist in the medieval period.
The campaing missions have maps for Australia, India, China, North and South America despite none of those areas having a medieval European society.
The pikeman does not actually use a pike but a halberd.
Everyone speaks in an English regional accent even if you are playing in a map other than England

Those mistakes arent even mistakes. The developers fully intended the koopas to steal what they stole it's just a silly video game and these fucking mario spergs are being way too literal. Like they think they are so clever catching the dev's making a mistake but they're just fucking retarded.
