    1) Shen Long is in SF2

    2) The whole Atari ET landfill story. Not to say it isn't there but it's like there 's a cache of boxed and sealed carts in the ground somewhere.

    3) Pong was the first video game

    That one website years ago claiming you could unlock Luigi in Super Mario 64.


    Unlocking Wario in Super Smash Bros (N64). Started by some friends of mine... those bastards.

    I have pictures of Lara nude in the Saturn version of the game. Actually, it was part of SEGA SATURN's official ad campaign here in Greece, as advertised in the E rated Gamepro =)

    I can take pictures if anyone wants to have a low resolution wank.

    Ermac actually exists in MK1, but due to an error. ERMAC => Error Macro

    This is the game that would make your head explode, right?

    Yeah I was gonna mention this one. Back in Jr high school all my friends actually believed it. Apparently the Jademan comics company not only reprinted this trick but also introduced the character "Sheng Long" in thier Street fighter comics.

    (btw, anyone not familar with Jademan, they were publishers of Hong Kong kung-fu comics called "manhua," which are reknown for being extremely action packed and incredibly violent, and in fact for kicking lots of ass.)

    Well Lara Cruz is on one of the documents I have, the game was also originally going to be called The Chaos Raiders and feature a 20s style buff guy with moustace to match. Also the game was also planed for the Mega CD. Oh and Lara was nothing more then a thief, stealing Mars Bars from the local shop at 5 years old. .... :eek: (one of those is a lie..)

    I cant remember if it was EGM or Gamepro but one of them printed a fake code for how to unlock Sheng Long in SF2 as an aprils fools joke, complete with doctored screenshots!!! It was something rediculous but doing it was supposed to make sheng long come out of nowhere and take M.Bison out at the start of the final round. I remember seeing it and telling my friends before they announced it was a joke that it was total BS, but they insisted on trying for days to get it to work.

    OMG I just remembered this one...

    An april's fool from CVG I think, where you had to do this ridiculous task on the Saturn's CD player screen to be able to play a built-in game with the spaceship that appears in the cd player
