Damaramu Posted December 14, 2003 Report Posted December 14, 2003 Ok post them. All the big urban gaming myths you've heard. Even post frustrating stories of trying to get said thing until you found out that it was fake. Any myths that turned out to later be true somehow? I know there's a lot!
LaParkaYourCar Posted December 14, 2003 Report Posted December 14, 2003 There's always the Sheng Long myth for Street Fighter 2.
Renegade Posted December 14, 2003 Report Posted December 14, 2003 Which carried on to the days of street fighter 3
the pinjockey Posted December 14, 2003 Report Posted December 14, 2003 There was a way to get Lara Croft nekkid in Tomb Raider 2.
razazteca Posted December 14, 2003 Report Posted December 14, 2003 (edited) Nekkid girl in DOA 2. Super Mario Brothers minus world in the swimming stage was true. Konami code works on all games by the company. Sonic Adventure: Press L, R, A, B, X , Y and Start to get Metal Sonic. (You know what that does...) Debug mode? Edited December 14, 2003 by razazteca
MooreMark Posted December 14, 2003 Report Posted December 14, 2003 Wrestlemania 2000 - Oh lordy this was just 4 years ago too. Play road to wrestlemania with Undertaker and Mankind as his tag partner. At Royal Rumble, Mankind will turn on you and you will fight him in a HIAC match at Mania. Which will unlock the HIAC. Oh I tried so hard to get that....
yankovic fan Posted December 14, 2003 Report Posted December 14, 2003 Something about a blood code on Mortal Kombat 1 on SNES (w/o the game genie). And something about getting a double flawless/fatality on Reptile unlocked another character. Are those true?
DerangedHermit Posted December 14, 2003 Report Posted December 14, 2003 Sonic Adventure: Press L, R, A, B, X , Y and Start to get Metal Sonic. (You know what that does...) Debug mode? Resets the Dreamcast. W00T: In the post 2000! In the pooooooost 2000!
Cavi Posted December 14, 2003 Report Posted December 14, 2003 The one about Ermac being in the first MK is a favorite of mine.
LaParkaMarka Posted December 14, 2003 Report Posted December 14, 2003 Ressurecting General Leo in FFVI. I wasted a lot of time trying to do that.
chaosrage Posted December 14, 2003 Report Posted December 14, 2003 Magikoopa is in Mario Kart 64. Something to do with a thromp in Bowser's Castle. I believed it too. I mean why the fuck is there a thromp in a cage?
Star Ocean 3 Posted December 14, 2003 Report Posted December 14, 2003 I mean why the fuck is there a thromp in a cage? Probably a dancer.
DerangedHermit Posted December 14, 2003 Report Posted December 14, 2003 Dust Hill Zone being in Sonic 2 (it was in the beta, but that was the Mystic Cave as a different name). It was "supposed" to be a desert zone.

Anya Posted December 14, 2003 Report Posted December 14, 2003 Something about a blood code on Mortal Kombat 1 on SNES (w/o the game genie). And something about getting a double flawless/fatality on Reptile unlocked another character. Are those true? No. Here are some of my favorites about MK... Ermac is in MK1. Everyone's normal attacks are exactly the same. Classic Sub-Zero in UMK3/MKT is the old Sub-Zero from MK1. Shen Long is a good one. A lot of people don't realize it's significance. Not only was it a good joke, it really changed gaming. The myth was the reason Reptile was added to MK1 and that started the whole trend of secret characters, which is still really big today.
Damaramu Posted December 14, 2003 Author Report Posted December 14, 2003 B. Orchid "showing off" in the Mirror Level of Killer Instinct for SNES I remember that one...hehe......
Damaramu Posted December 14, 2003 Author Report Posted December 14, 2003 What mirror level in KI? I don't remember the mirror thing. I was referring to the fact that I remember B Orchid's flash and how people were like "You can see it!"
The Czech Republic Posted December 14, 2003 Report Posted December 14, 2003 Sheng Long...ha. Not too recently, I got some sucker to believe that Fei Long was in Street Fighter II: Anything you see is true! Heh. Sucker.
Guest Salacious Crumb Posted December 14, 2003 Report Posted December 14, 2003 It's pretty funny that a lot of big gaming myths have come from the EGM April Fools.
Damaramu Posted December 14, 2003 Author Report Posted December 14, 2003 It's pretty funny that a lot of big gaming myths have come from the EGM April Fools. Like the nude chick game. Valkyrie or something.
Anya Posted December 14, 2003 Report Posted December 14, 2003 That was PSM. EGM had the big Nimbus Terrafaux hoax from MK1.
The Amazing Rando Posted December 14, 2003 Report Posted December 14, 2003 There was a background/level in KI where it seemed as though there were mirrors in the background causing very small reflections... some believed that if that particular move was pulled off in the right spot that it would reflect.
Guest Askewniverse Posted December 14, 2003 Report Posted December 14, 2003 "Fatalities" in WrestleMania: The Arcade Game.
DerangedHermit Posted December 14, 2003 Report Posted December 14, 2003 Oh yeah, the EGM April Fools thing reminds me: them saying Sonic and Tails are in SSBM.
Guest Doomsault Posted December 14, 2003 Report Posted December 14, 2003 Samus being naked if you beat Super Metroid in under an hour. Sonic and Tails in Super Smash Brothers: Melee. Charade being Spawn, Heihachi, and Link in Soul Calibur 2. Killing people in WCW vs. NWO: World Tour.....wait that one's true, MUHAHAHAHAHA!!!
