Gaming Urban Legends

[Rashid]

Not sure if this counts as urban legend, but I remember the rumors of "Mortal Kombat: Nitro" and another one, but they were hoax.

Warzone fucking sucked... it was decent at the time because it was the first real WWF game since RAW on the SNES. I'm not counting the silly Arcade Game and In Your House. Attitude was a minor improvement, but when you had WCW vs. nWo World Tour and WCW/nWo Revenge at the same time, the WWF games just didn't compare.

[TEOL]

Maybe it's just because it's me, but I know the 'sixth Silent Hill ending' stories drove me nuts for a while. There were people on the internet who swore blind that you could make explosives to blow up the hospital barrier and possibly hijack an ambulance, IIRC...

[apsham]

I can honestly say that I liked Attitude\Warzone more than World Tour\Revenge at the time, and not just due to company loyalty. I mean, I still loved World Tour\Revenge but I never rated gameplay like that above Attitude until No Mercy, about the same level during Wrestlemania 2000.

Oh I was a way bigger WWF mark than a WCW one, but I just thought the WCW games blew them out of the water. The grapple gameplay was much better than the button combos of Attitude/Warzone. Plus, the ridiculous amounts of customization that came with Revenge was just amazing and something that wrestling games have been sorely lacking ever since AKI got out of the wrasslin' game business.

Jumping over the pole in SMB.

Apparantly, it can be done.

I remember loving WCW vs. nWo World Tour, despite having no idea who half the people were.

[Toe]

I loved all of the major N64 wrestling games (Warzone and Attitude, the THQ ones) equally.

[Skummy]

Yeah. I don't know how you unlocked him, but I'm sure he was in the game. He had snakes for arms, and reptillian skin.

:blink:

That must be a different Rattlesnake from the one I ever had. It was just Austin in a pair of jeans, as far as I can recall.

Might be a different game, then. There was definitely a game that had a snakey Austin in it, unless you could create him or something. I remember my friend playing as him.

[MalaCloudy Black]

That sounds terribly corny. I want it.

[The Future]

Fifa 98 I remember hearing that if you shot from a certain angle(I think it was the edge of the box)it would be a goal no matter what, it seemed to work the first time I tried it and then I wasted the entire match trying to do it again...blah

[Guest Zeokage]

I still have WM2000 and No Mercy (which came later). No Mercy is probably the better game, but WM2000 had a better CAW system IIRC. It's been a while since the last time I played them.

Here's one for Smackdown 07

Unlock Brand Manager

Beat general manager mode five times on either brand and you will unlock that brands manager. For SmackDown!, that's Teddy Long.

For RAW, you get Vince McMahon. You have to do it five extra times on RAW to unlock Bischoff. Once you've unlocked all three, you'll also unlock ECW general manager, Paul Heyman.

I remember that for Smackdown 2, I think, you had to rack up 100 wins in a timed Ironman to unlock the Inferno Match.

I remember that for Smackdown 2, I think, you had to rack up 100 wins in a timed Ironman to unlock the Inferno Match.

I remember hearing that, and it being a lie.

[Guest Mr. Potato Head]

That's the point of this thread, is it not?

[stokeriño]

Alright, what I meant was I remember being distinctly pissed off that it was a lie. ¬_¬

[Yitzy]

I remember my friend telling me that it was possible to get Wario in the original Super Smash Bros.

[Colly]

When my brother was about 6, putting me about 10-11, we were round my just older cousins house playing Mortal Kombat for Super NES. We convinced him if you win 50 games in a row you then fight Timmy the Dog, and if you beat him you get Red Ninja. So we put him outside the room, put clingfilm on the TV then coloured over Scorpion on the character select screen with a red marker. Genius.
