The study of some typical complex computer simulations, presenting one or more Complexity features, as the: a) symmetry breaking, b) nonlinear properties, c) dissipative processes, d) high-logical depth, e) selforganizing processes, etc allows to point out some several numerical artifacts, namely the: (i) distortions, (ii) scattering, (iii) pseudo-convergence, (iv) instability, (v) mis-leading (false) symmetry-breaking simulations and others. The detailed analysis of these artifacts allowed
