Petty Sabotage
I once put magnets on my brothers collection of ZX81 cassettes, so when he attempted to play them, they were full of errors and yet apparently undamaged. Can you beat that? Tell us your tales of petty sabotage.

Computer player
Me and my mates used to have fun on a Commodore 64 game that I can't remember the name of. If you press the button on player 2's joystick, it starts a two player game. If you press player 1's joystick, it starts a one player game with the computer operating the other player (rather well). Level 1 was a 400 metre dash I think, you know the ones, waggle the stick like a wanker on speed. Anyway, I digress... I leaned over and made it look like I pressed my mate's (player 2) joystick button, but I actually pressed mine a split second earlier thus starting a single player game. You should have seen him thrashing away at that kempston like his life depended on it, thinking he was doing really well and the smug look on his face when he thought he had beat me by around 10 seconds. When level 2 started (without player 2) he just kept repeating in a confused voice "I'm not in it" accompanied by discreet titters from everyone else in the room who were in on the joke. I actually got this on video.
