Hey guys!
I'm really interested in Mandela Effects and just wondered if any of you had any interesting or unique ones to share? I'm really into retro video games so if there's any examples of them I'd be really interested to hear them!

To me the three biggest Mandela Effects are Berenstein Bears, Fruit of the Loom cornucopia on the logo, and "Objects In The Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are".
Berenstein Bears is obviously now BerenSTAIN Bears, but I have pretty strong memory of seeing BerenSTEIN as a kid.
Fruit of the Loom definitely had a cornucopia on the logo, I remember staring at the logo as a kid wondering what that horn shaped basket thing is.
Objects in the rear view - I clearly remember sitting passenger seat as a kid and reading the side mirror saying "objects in the mirror MAY appear closer than they are"(Which the band Meatloaf had a hit song titled as) and having this thought "what do they mean MAY appear? why can't they figure a mirror out?"... Now apparently mirrors never said "may appear", they've always said "Objects In The Mirror Are Closer Than They Appear"
I've studied this heavily quite a few years back and I think the topic offers evidence that our consciousness(to include our personal memories) is indeed separate from this reality we live in. It also lends credence to to the idea that this is some type of simulated reality(reality learning lab as one would say lol), where things can be re-written.

Don't forget about Dolly's dental braces in the movie 'Moonraker' (1979), Jon D! Now the scene makes no sense & has lost it's magic as well.

There have been some fantastic examples like the ones mentioned. The reason I asked about video game Mandela Effects in particular is because I've never had a Mandela Effect that has personally wowed me. I wasn't aware of the Berenstain Bears, I'd never seen Moonraker etc so I really would love to hear one that would blow my mind!

You are correct the phenomena has to have a personal meaning for you to really feel it. I've never seen Moonraker so I can't vouch for that personally but based on evidence is it one of the best examples of the Mandela Effect. Snow White: Many people recall the Evil Queen saying "Mirror, mirror on the wall," but the correct line is "Magic mirror on the wall".
Star Wars: The famous line is now "No, I am your father," not "Luke, I am your father".
Monopoly Man: People often remember the Monopoly character having a monocle, but he never actually has one.
Queen - We Are The Champions. We all think of Freddie Mercury belting out, "of the world!" at the end of "We Are the Champions," but it. Never. Happened.
I just took some of those common examples from Google hopefully one resonates with your personal memory.
