Hadley 8 years 11 months ago Posts: 212	What are some rumors about video games you remember people talking about when you were a kid. Of course, there were the rumors that turned out to be true (samus aran was actually a woman) but i liked the rumors that were false, like the time i heard that after you beat mike tyson in mike tyson's punch out he challenged you to a rematch and this time tyson was made even harder to beat (im talking almost UNBEATABLE).

Total BS Also I had the kind of friends who said they spotted unusual games at the Flea market For example: MK vs Streetfighter for snes, not even possible and Streetfighter for N64 Why do kids lie about the dumbest crap?

Come to think of it I dont know why I got so excited, that would've been a lot of fucking running.

methman81 8 years 11 months ago Posts: 41	2 come to my mind as well. 1. A friend told me in the game Bayou Billy, when you get in the jeep; you could ride all the way into the city. 2. Another friend told me in Mike tysons punchout; when you knock down king hippo..sometimes he will get back up. I don't know if this is a rumor (or) true, but I sure as hell never seen it happen.

agentkev 8 years 10 months ago Posts: 809	video games were always the main talk in elementary, middle school and friends..some of the rumors i head around the halls and classroom.. Sonic VS Mario where in the works. Sonic was coming to nintendo.((at the time total BS..oddly many years later he finally arrived lol)) There was a secret code for snes street fighter II for the characters to use guns. so many false blood codes for SNES mortal kombat...thank goodness I had the genesis for my mortal kombat needs. Tails was going to die in sonic 3 ((I thought that was dumb myself.)) Tails was a girl I remember having to tell many dumb kids Tails was a male. ((not really a rumor just dumb kids)) a few years later nude codes for tomb raider was big.

System 8 years 10 months ago Posts: 74809	Actually, I was told that originally Tails was suppose to be a girl. Heard this from a very big Sonic fan. People all thought he was male in the second game, so they smoothly changed his gender.

System 8 years 10 months ago Posts: 74809	I remember the Shaq rumor for "NBA JAM." I heard that the initials you were supposed to use were "LSU." (The college he attended.)

System 8 years 10 months ago Posts: 74809	In Street Fighter 2, they told me there was a code to access the boss(Bison, Sagat, Balrog,and Vega). I also heard about using Luigi in Mario64. My friend told me he jumped higher and it was a hard glitch to do. Again,there was a code to acess Shang Tsung, and Goro in Mortal Kombat. In N64's Golden Eye, you can access the old Bond characters as the last cheat that was available. There was always once space left for the cheat and I thought it was true. It ended up to be a April Fool's joke by one of the Magazines.

System 8 years 10 months ago Posts: 74809	A friend of mine once told me that if you were to get 120 stars in Mario N64, you still would not have finished the game, because Bowser would open up 5 more levels and would try to kick you out of the castle.. Kids have such fantastic imagination

NeonNightrider 8 years 10 months ago Posts: 337	I remember hearing that there was going to be a Mortal Kombat game with something called "Sexalities." NO idea what these were supposed to be!

System 8 years 10 months ago Posts: 74809	I remember hearing about that for mortal kombat. I think they tried to follow the animality, babality concept.
