/vr/ - Retro Games

If anyone remembers AOL 2.0 from way back, they used to have a "Video Games" tab or something like that. Basically NO ONE thought ANYONE EVER would have any reason to make something up on the internet so people would post random shit there.

Basically a lot of rumors would get started. I looked everywhere on my harddrive for this picture of Golbez in Final Fantasy 6(3) on SNES. They were like "oh you can turn Gogo into Golbez by doing these 4 steps" and since the internet was brand spanking new, it looked legit. Plus the west only knew about FF2 and FF3 on SNES. I wish I could find the picture for you all.

Up until last year the house flooded I still had some text files I printed out from back then with rumors from Final Fantasy to Secret of Mana. Basically there was the standard 'how to get Kefka', 'how to revive General Leo', etc. But there was some unique stuff like "circle Kefka's tower to get the Light Sword" or something. Or "before you ride the mine cart in the esper tower, head to this corner and search for some Blade".

There was another about how to turn Gogo into Daryl. OF COURSE all the rumors about Shadow's extra dreams. How to get Siegfried to join your party. And some more I can't remember.

I tried ALL of these but they never worked. I did have fun with some game shark codes in FF4 with the dummy items. I had no idea there were extra summons on the SNES from normal enemies (like Imp or Cockatrice).

But one of my favorite rumors was Akuma in Resident Evil 2. Pic related.
