/vr/ - Retro Games

I think I remember that back in 5th grade a friend asked me (by way of a written note in class) if I'd heard of the 152nd Pokemon. Turned out he was talking about Missingno. That was the great thing about back then, the lack of easily accessible, reliable information combined with the mysterious nature of actual secrets (or glitches) in old games as well as the general gullibility and fantastical imagination of kids made it seem like all sorts of goofy shit was entirely possible.

As a kid I was sure that the screenshots on the back of the US Super Mario Bros. 3 box were in the game somewhere. I think one of my acquaintance's older sisters even told me that there was a World 0 or something in that game.
