Gaming Urban Legends

[Lord Nibbler]

I remember driving down the castle in Mario Kart 64 and trying to work out what the hell it was there for.

The island you can see on the Dam level of GoldenEye was always the source of rumours too.

[Fanku Kaibutsu]

I remember that island in goldeneye. You could get to it with a gameshark code. I think there were just some boxes, and most of the walls weren't even solid.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Let's not forget Bigfoot in San Andreas as well as the chainsaw killer.

Yeah and CJ's dead mum's ghost

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Oh and about the plane crash thing, a couple of times up Chilead I've had a plane crash just over me.....

[King Ellis]

How about the illusive Mortal Kombat SNES edition gore cheat?

Actually, all you need to do to is enter a PAR/Game Genie code that changes the color of the sweat. Nothing really remarkable, seeing how it won't change the fact that everyone except Scorpion and Sonya originally had a gory finisher.

As far as Urban Legends, Final Fantasy VI (3 back in the day), there was so much rumored shit on that. Swords strong than the Illumina, ways to bring back Gereral Leo, who is Gogo, etc.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Didn't Nintendo have an anti-gore stance back in those days?

The difference was highlighted in the game Aladdin.

On the Mega Drive you hacked at people with swords and they fell to the ground dead.

In the SNES you jumped on their heads and they vanished...

Of course this was back in the day when the general conscience on such devices was something along the lines of "They fuck your machine up." so that was never gonna be much of a goer, for me anyway.

Emulation, my friend. I know you still own the original catridge, so it shouldn't be a problem.

I had a Game Genie cartridge for my Mega Drive back in the day. I never heard any talk along the lines of "they fuck your machine up". :ohwell:

That was Nintendo's general stance on the use of those devices, they heavily frowned upon the use.

[The Kraig]

Something to do with a van on a little island in Pokemon Blue/Red being moveable, and that it would cause Mew to appear.

Of course it was a lie, but Mew was still glitchable some other ways. No cheat device needed.

I remember fishing on one of the islands where you can find the legendary birds, and catching some weird ass Pokemon that don't even exist.

Missingno. Which was on Cinnabar Island, not Seafoam Islands (where Articuno is). (¬_¬)

Pretty much any glitch in the early pokemon games would fuck up your game eventually.

[Buford Ripley]

I raped the the Missingno. glitch and had several Mews, my game was completely fine... until someone saved over it. :@

[The Kraig]

It's what people say. Some games are unaffected though, or it just takes a very long time to mess up the game. No one plays the old games now anyways. The GBA remakes are where it's at. (¬_¬)

Another MK urban legend.

Apparently after it's release, some people began to think there was a "swear code". So when every character did a move, he'd say some sort of swear word. The obvious one was somebody telling me that Scorpion would say "Get the fuck over here".

I actually had a friend that told me he did the code. When I asked where he got it, it was from a magazine but only worked some of the time. Right.
