Gaming Myths/Lies/Rumors that you believed as a kid.

[-DMP-]

ITT we discuss the lies the kid down the block told us and how he always seemed to have a relative who worked for the popular console maker at the time . Or remember the early days of the internet, when gaming code sites ran rampant with fake codes?

So first up, an old but a classic. Getting mew in pokemon red/blue

Legend had it, that if you had a lvl 100 pokemon with STRENGHT HM, that after you beat the game, you could go to the truck in vermillion city, move it, and MEW would be underneath

Im pretty sure we all heard some version of this, and we all tried it.

Next up, one that's a lil more personal, my mom was dating this guy and his kid was a huge DBZ fan. At the time, dbz games weren't really in the US yet, but I managed to get a copy of DBGT: Final bout.

This mofo told me that, if you beat the game (50 I think?) times with vegeta, you could unlock gogeta. Being the gullible head strong kid I was, I took on the challenge and one Saturday, I started to play the arcade mode over and over again. Needless to say, there was no gogeta


Other shyt I remember:
-Trying to get the 18 wheeler to come out as Stone Cold Steve Austin's entrance on WWF:Atittude
-Pikablu (this was before the new pokemon came out)
-There would be a MGS2 released for xbox that let you play as snake instead of raiden.
-you could play with Yoshi in Mario 64
-you could revive Aeris in FFV7

Add on, im sure there are some that im forgetting.

WHat!? Let me find out we step brothers or something I HEARD THE SAME EXACT THING back when that game came out.

My older cousins used to tell me I couldn't play their SNES because the games would over heat back when I was like 8....selfish b*stards

I remember reading, that if you held A+B when you threw out a pokeball, it would give you a way better chance to catch that pokemon

Also remember the nude Tomb Raider codes that made rounds.

Remember reading there was a new DBZ game/anime coming out called DB AF, with ssj5 goku, negro had long silver hair
Turned out to be an april fools joke

I did so many gaming myths as a kid that when the mega man hadoken rumor came around I just KNEW it was fake. I mean having to die 3 times and doing a motion to shoot the fireball and it one hitting everything... yeah right.

I almost passed out when it was true.

Weird, I never heard of that one.

There wasn't just one way, there were multiple theories and concepts. It was like a "this has to be possible" thing because you can see her ghost at one point in the game if you go back to the church.
