One of those game magazines, I think it was EGM, said you could get Schala to join you party in Chrono Trigger.

I never felt so defeated before in life

Yeah I got the gold chocobo. It's the only way you can get Knights Of The Round summon materia.

Sonic in melee...

Remember it said you had to do 100 man melee without dying. Think it took me a month to actually do it.

I would always fail when it came to last 10 or so. Remember one time I had a Fox clone as my last opponent and before I could do anything this nikka just bicycle kicked me to oblivion

Mortal Kombat really broke a lot of barriers down for fighting games in the early 1990s. The bloody take on the 2D fighter was a departure from the suddenly friendly seeming Street Fighter. It’s “realistic” character designs, brutal fighting style, and dark storyline made it stand out in a decade where “extreme” ruled supreme. When the sequel hit arcades and later, home consoles, fans were surprised to see that world take a darker path as the realm of Outworld and its emperor the skull-masked Shao Khan have begun an invasion of Earth. Khan, among other deadly and dastardly deeds had captured fan favorite characters Sonya Blade and her nemesis Kano and keeps them chained on the sides of his throne in the arena.

Fans, desperately wanted to believe that Kano was a playable character in the game because everyone one loves laser eye-beams. Especially considering the inclusion of Shang Tsung, the shape shifting master of the previous game, as a playable character in the game, gamers searched for a way to control the Aussie criminal. Many speculated that the “Toasty” pop-up that leads to the ninja Reptile was a way to get to Kano. As it turns out, while his character does exist in the game, it is only to provide animation for the captured Kano in the arena. He does however appear in later installments.

Don't think I ever heard this one.

I remember in 4th grade this kid in school would swear he had a fighting game where Goku could fight characters from other video games. I never believed him. It wasn't till way later when I was a lot older I found out about M.U.G.E.N.

wtf? i tried all combinations of holding buttons on Pokémon, all i got was "aww it appeared to be caught. " wasted my fukking master ball on zapdos.

my older bro would hit me with "you could play tomorrow, i've been playing too long, if you play too long it will blow up." never got to play though.

heard at daycare there were codes on the back of the 64 cartridges.

i gotta try to remember more shyt.

zapdos is the god tho

caught it with an ultra ball

one myth i remember was being able to fight in the back in one of the early wcw n64 games. had my friends and i just walking towards the tunnel like fukkin idiots trying all types of shyt. when moves and irish whips didnt work =

someone tried calling on me when i said you could get "Team Fire" and the ball would be blue in NBA hangtime. then i got 3 alley oops on him in a row without him scoring he rage quit

also for tyson punchout..people kept saying that glass joe's only victory was against mike tyson and thats why he was all fukked up after for taking a beating (lost 99 straight fights after (i think he was 1-99))
