sometimes the rumors become more
interesting than the games themselves
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
myths in video games computer chip and
3d video processor in a Playstation are
1,000 times more powerful than the most
sophisticated computer on the consumer
market today for this list we’re
focusing on interesting myths about
games or their consoles that fueled much
speculation and were not discriminating
between myths that were false I’m
confirming
for horror related or as the internet
calls it creepypasta related stories
check out our video for top 10 video
game urban legends number 10 the all
bond cheat Goldeneye double-oh-seven
let’s start off with a myth that was a
stroke of blind luck in April 1998
electronic gaming monthly wrote that
gold and I had a cheat where you could
play as Sean Connery Roger Moore and
Timothy Dalton’s Bond characters in
multiplayer as at April Fool’s joke
however in a twist of fate this story
turned out to be relatively true as
their faces were in the games code but
were removed due to licensing issues
number 9 weapons of PS 2 destruction but
the latest in high-tech video games may
also be high on the holiday shopping
list of none other than Saturn I say in
late 2000 it was reported that 4,000
PlayStation 2 consoles were being
shipped to Iraq causing speculation that
Saddam Hussein was depending on who you
are listening to rigging the ps2 s
together into a supercomputer or using
them in guided missiles which if you’re
a dictator and you’re looking for a way
to turn a toy into a weapon it’s a
pretty good deal neither of these
statements turned out to be true as it
would be far too impractical and costly
to build either of these systems with
console components so they’re available
to anyone including Saddam Hussein if he
gets his shopping done early
number 8 Shenlong Street Fighter 2 the
legend of a hidden final battle in the
popular fighting game
first when Ryu says on his windscreen
you must defeat Shenlong to stand a
chance Shen long however was a
mistranslation of reuse sure Leo can
move but that didn’t stop
EGM in their April Fool’s article from
claiming that you could find him by
unrealistic measures years later the
character gokhan in Street Fighter 4 is
believed to be inspired by the mythical
Shen long ah you shall make an
interesting opponent number 7 revive
Aris Final Fantasy 7 one of the most
shocking scenes in the Final Fantasy
series came in the seventh installment
when the game’s antagonist Sephiroth
murders your party member Aris but some
fans couldn’t accept that she was really
dead and rumor started to circulate that
there was a way to resurrect her sadly
for fans though it is possible to use a
cheap device to keep her in your party
officially she stays dead
number six her Mac MORTAL KOMBAT
we’re all men you walk on wall another
rumour fueled by electronic gaming
monthly but this time through readers
letters players who saw Mortal Kombat’s
audit menu noticed an entry under
reptile battles for something called her
max with a screenshot that showed a
glitched red version of scorpion
this was yet another misunderstanding as
a Mac actually stood for error macro but
that didn’t stop the creator’s from
having some fun with the min before
making the character reel in Ultimate
Mortal Kombat 3 wins number 5 play as
Luigi super mario 64 with the popularity
of super mario 64
screenshots began to emerge that seem to
show Luigi hid it in the game in the
castle courtyard there is a statue with
the rather blurry plaque that reads L is
real 2,401 with that number said to be
the total number of coins in the game
but the real number of coins was 2672
and collecting them all doesn’t bring in
the little brother as many were left to
believe however Luigi is playable in the
DS remake of the game
number four news truck pokémon red and
blue Pokemon generated a lot of rumors
in its early days from collecting the
armored new to a scene in the anime say
this armor protects my body and it
suppresses my powers to that unreachable
grass patch on route 1 but the most
infamous one came from catching the
legendary mute in the SS ands doc lies a
truck the idea was that Mew was hidden
underneath it and obtainable by using
the strength hm to push it but no matter
how much players pushed the truck would
never budge
number three nude Raider to murder this
is perhaps the most controversial myth
on the list which no doubt emerged from
horny teenagers hoping to see Lara in
her birthday suit
Gentry’s thank you soon enough footage
emerged of Lara in the buff with claims
of a nude code in the game
although the footage was later debunked
as an unofficial mod though that didn’t
stop developer core design releasing a
code for the second game to purportedly
make Lera strip naked but instead the
result was number two
Bigfoot grand theft auto san andreas
like pokemon san andreas also attracted
a lot of myths from ghost cars to UFOs
but the most infamous myth came with
screenshots of a Bigfoot or Sasquatch
monster within the game however there is
no such monster that appears in the
game’s code though fan made mods of the
PC version do exist Rockstar has had
some fun with this myth by including a
Sasquatch mission in Red Dead Redemption
undead nightmare all the traits are you
talking about
and as an unlockable final mission in
GTA 5 but hit stop human mess up the
fuck up with that bullshit before we
debunk our number one myth here are a
few honorable mentions
number one et phone New Mexico ET the
extra-terrestrial the video game when et
for the Atari 2600 came out the game was
so bad that it was instrumental in the
industry crash as a whole the legend
goes that with so many unsold copies
sitting on store shelves Atari recalled
them all crushed them and then buried
them in a New Mexico landfill those
gaming systems and gain actually the
game systems themselves it was actual
cartridges and games et and so on this
