Former RARE dev says Donkey Kong 64 needed the expansion pak to avoid a game-breaking glitch
The following info comes from Chris Marlow, one Donkey Kong 64's programmers.
- the game featured a glitch that caused it to "randomly crash...in the 4 meg only version" w
- this glitch didn't occur with the Expansion Pak installed
- this forced RARE to include the memory expansion for free
- this "cost [RARE] a fortune."
- this move worked in Perfect Dark's favor, as that game "definitely needed it"
