Nostalgic flashback to Premier Manager games, where players stats decreased as they aged. When they went /below 0/ they flipped around to 127. So a good strategy was to scout out really bad players from lower leagues about to hit age 30+. And offer them very long contracts to prevent them retiring .. and give time for most of their stats to flip around, turning them into superstars.

I always found the funniest occurrence of this was in the Civ game though it seems it originally being a bug is disputed.

The bug never existed at all in Civ 1. It was an urban legend all along. Similar behavior was intentional in Civ 5 as a joke, which convinced everyone that it really did happen in Civ 1 when it never did.

Mandela effect

It's the result of people repeating what they read on the Internet, not what they personally experienced.

This happens way too often

You're not wrong; but fyi it only happens in your originating universe. Over here we all experienced it.

People being lied to is not the Mandela effect. The Mandela effect is about things you personally remember.

A Mandela effect here would be if the explanations themselves that talked about overflow never existed.
