Video game one hit wonder.

That’s not how I remember it. I remember plenty of games being buggy as hell, or outright not working. When a patch did come out to fix it, you had to find and download it from the developer’s website and manually install it. Then keep track of that patch file in case you wanted to reinstall and play again later.
