L is Real 2041

>>4495875
I know I just said you actually could

>>4495879
ah sorry, nevermind then

>>4495867
>playground
>game from year 2000
remove thyself, underage

>>4495879

"Playground" rumor implies the rumor is bullshit. Otherwise it's just a SECRETS thread.

>>4495894
>he wasn't at the playground at age 10
sorry you had no childhood, anon

>>4495894
Anyone born at or before January 1, 2000 is not considered underage.

>>4495901

I want you to read that sentence again and this time pay attention to the actual subject line

mario 3 had a lot, i cant remember most but stuff like a bowser suit and p wing glitches were common

another was mortal kombat, that had so many rumors, most kids werent allowed to play it or own it so all they could do was watch it at the arcades or have a try at a friends house and then speculate which led to alot of rumors. which is sort of ironic since there arent many easter eggs in mortal kombat 1

Of course the mew under the truck secret was a huge one.

Being able to play as idle in ki (true cheat)

In my school kids said there was a way to play as peach in smw. I never heard that one anywhere else.

Fake mk fatalities

I remember something about twisted metal and sweet tooth, but i cant remember what it was anymore.

Bringing aeries back from the dead in ff7

Unlocking chris in re2 n64.

Thats about all i can remember right now...

I do remember my friend trying to convince me that b.o.b. was the sequel to super metroid, boy was that dumb.

>>4495894
le mad olfag is mad xD

SH1 had so many cool secrets, details, and optional shit in that city. Literally the only game I've replayed more than once and I've beaten it 5 times.

>>4497313
Alien Blaster >> Katana

My friends and I thought if you collected everything in DK64, including every normal banana with every kong, it would unlock a lost world like in DKC2.

Actually did it back then but it did nothing.

>>4497373
t. speedrunner

6th gen, but I remember a friend telling me in Smash Bros Melee you could unlock "The Smash Kangeroo", also of course there was toad for shooting all the targets in the credits.

>>4495894
>Silent Hill
>2000

>>4497313
A rumour I had heard was about replaying the game multiple times once you would get an oil can and the next you would get a gas can and you could use them to fill up an ambulance that you could then drive around.

As fucking stupid as that was it sounded believable in the 90s. when MGS had bonuses omfor playing it 3x and Resident Evil 2 had bonuses for playing it 5 or 6x

>>4499820
I wonder why they made the rock drill so much stronger than the chainsaw

>>4495894
Anon, people BORN in 2000 can be 18 now.

>>4495867
"Sexualities" in Mortal Kombat

>>4499683
>smash kangeroo
?+?+?

>>4500679
inspired by the tekken character maybe?

>>4495867
>them: You could fly a helicopter in NFS dude
>me: yeah sure, and also ride in a hot-rod... Not

>>4499683
>>4500679
>>4501070
I just googled this, and apparently there was a small rumour the Kangaroo from the Nintendo Minigame Series was coming to SSB4. So the guy came up with the strange rumour a decade before the internet did.

>>4499683
Oh man, I remember the "defeat 20 enemies in Cruel Melee to Unlock Sonic and Tails Rumour." I'm quite relieved it wasn't true, because there was no way I could achieve the unlock criteria.

Heard that in Secret of Evermore, there was a way to find a secret pathway to the medieval forest during end-game

I mainly remember Pokemon rumors, around the time Yellow came out and everybody was playing. I honestly believed until my 20s that you could increase your chances of capturing a pokemon if you tapped B really fast as the pokeball twitched.
Also since most kids back then didn't have access to internet, there was some level of uncertainty about how many creatures really could be found. Meowth could not be found in Yellow (I only learned this many many years later on bulbapedia) but I remember rumors about finding a Rocket grump that would trade a Meowth for some other pokemon.
I remember a kid telling me he found the legendary bird from the anime (that would be ho-oh, that actually showed up in the first season of the anime) after capturing all the other legendaries. No one knew what that Pokemon was when we watched the anime, so while nobody really believed him, I did spend hours trying to find him in Yellow.
Something about entering a truck near S.S. Anne and warping to some place. Capturing Mewtwo and heading for Cinnabar Island to confront Mew. I dunno, shit like that.

>back when online vidya was first becoming a thing
>lad at the daycare had me convinced there was a multiplayer shooter made after that on rails game CarnEvil
>got to drive around and shoot bitches, all kinds of cool environments, level up and unlock new guns
>mfw it wasn’t true when i got on the net

I remember the rapetality rumors about mortal Kombat, there was always that kid in the arcade that was like "dude i've seen it" or had a cousin who had seen it.

>>4501812
you were in daycare in the late 90s?

>>4499864
Maybe to subvert expectations? They knew ppl would go for the chainsaw for asthethics but the rock still was actually better?

One I heard for Duke Nukem: A Time To Kill was that you could get the woman in that little apartment to go on the bed and have sex with you.

Pretty much exactly the kind of stuff which eventually would happen in all the God of War games until they pussied out with Ascension.

>>4495878

I can't believe so many people believe it really said that. I have alwayes read it as Eternal Star, though nothing can be made out if the other blurry mess.

>>4504089

Something I should add: I used to think the blurry mess read "by smb" where smb could be the name of an artist.

>>4502605
Children born on January 5th, 2000 are now 18 years old.

>>4504127
OMG HE CAN KEEP TRACK OF DATES.

I still want to believe this is true

>>4504249
You can mod Akuma in now at least

>>4504226
>he says after being skeptical of someone being in daycare in the late 90s

lol

How about some mandela effect?
I could've sworn this door wasn't locked the first time I played RE3.

>>4504293
Easy explanation.
Someone already beat the game and got the key

>>4504089
I really cannot see Eternal Star in that, it honestly looks more like L is real. Although it is still Pareidolia

>>4504127
Yes but similar to how the GBA will never be retro people born after the 90s will never not be underage. Them's the breaks, anon.

>>4497382

The Lost World in DKC2 was one of the best "real endings" in video games.
I was sad 64 didn't get an extra world like country 2 and 3 did.
The cutscene was cool and all but...

>>4495867
Some asshole who was my best friend for 10 years would lie about shit constantly, like telling me he had a new game he hadn't just to get me go to his house. I was always really intrigued by the ice key in Banjo-Kazooie and wanted to know what it did, He told me that when you beat the final boss Gruntilda falls off the tower (which is true) and that her scream shatters the ice and lets you get the key. I was really excited and beat the game just to do this, but of course it was bullshit and I was very disappointed.

I remember my friend told me you could get Vile's ride armor in MMX3 if you find some secret item on Blast Hornet's stage, around the ruined building thing after doing some other steps. Didn't sound so improbable since the game had a lot of other shit like that like the Zero saber thing, wasted so much time trying to find it.

>>4495867
you need to complete good ending and bad ending. then in your next playthrough it will be available.

Fucking unlocking Nitrous Oxide in CTR. I wasn’t even sure that was fake until I read up about it a few years ago.

>>4495867
being able to play as Gray Fox on MGS1 PS1 version.

>>4495867
I actually did the thing to get Akuma at RE2 back then til I found out it was a joke one month later.

>>4506378
>100% the game
>race Oxide again like I heard
>just a scrapbook and no Oxide
Fuck you Naughty Dog

All those rumors about the secret island on the dam level

>>4495867
wtf is this? is this that tenchu

>>4495875
OP literally posted an image of the main character holding the said katana. Stop being retarded.

>>4504293
I think there was a re-release of this game where the boutique is unlocked from the beginning.

>>4495867
>honey from fighting vipers wears less clothes when beating 100 enemies in a row :F

>Tomb Raider 3 cheat code to see Lara naked

>>4501394
i think it has to do with the little guy on the upper part of the screen, he indicates the right way to take if i remember it right, sorry for the small pic

>>4508879
Yeah, the blue imps do lead the way out.

Fuck that game and its hard-on for mazes.

I remember discussing the All Bonds in Goldeneye as real things that I just didn't know how to unlock.

Ocarina Of Time and Pokemon were the winners, countless discussions on how to go to the Temple of Light, get the triforce, unfreeze Zora's domain and all of this could only be done in the gold cartridge.

>>4508997
I forgot about Orcarina of time, there were so many. The Unicorn fountain the cavern under Zora's Domain, beating the running man, the pyramid in the desert.

>>4495927
>a potential age of 27 is underage

>>4509174
For /vr/ it is

>>4510251
No it's not, you're just weird

>>4510294
You need to be at least 35 to post on /vr/

>>4510303
LOL you can't be serious, the board mental age is more like 11.

>>4510309
It's what happens when you play a genesis instead of the turbografx.
>REMEMBER: TURBOGRAFX DOES WHAT GENESISN'T! (collect dust.)

>>4500043
that and nudity, curse code, and a secret message from Shao Khan who would tell you the the former two codes if you beat the game 50 times in a row.

>>4499939
>there are anons who were still in the playground as recently as 2010, legally posting itt

>>4508825
If I remember correctly, you can make her shed her clothes and only keep her underwear to get a massive speed boost but also a massive defense loss.

>>4510924
you never played fighting vipers before? Its very good.
Every character in fighting vipers can blast his cloth to get a speed boost for the rest of the round and a def loss for the rest of the match. But at 100 wins she wears less and her armor symbol changes.

In Pokemon Gold there was a side quest to get a Shiny Charizard.

Well... with gamesharks, it's kind of true.

>>4510750
>ragging on someone for being young
>can't do math
>reaction pic

Wow you're retarded.

>if you got enough Betty Crocker box tops and sent them in you could get an N64

>>4499683
>straya rumors

>>4511071
Wasn't there a convoluted way for Honey to be completly naked? I definitly remember some game magazine in my country mentioning this.

Wait, ok
If you get a double Flawless Victory AND never use a block button AND Finish Him on the center MK emblem you can fight JADE
I wasted an afternoon trying this

>>4512094
and there's no emblem on the floor, lulz
speaking of Mandela effect

>>4506378
SO MUCH THIS

So happy when I finally got that GameShark code tho he played like crap and took up the whole screen...

>>4511085
Not ragging just saying it's weird. Also, I'm certain I was still using playgrounds at the age of ten. Maybe if you ever went outside as a child instead of playing vidja, you'd know

Mew rumours. I spent so much time trying to get that fucking truck Mew. Internet was a new and precious commodity at the time, but I did have one friend whose house had internet. He didn't have a GB or Pokemon though, so we had to team up on this. I would phone my friend, who would then look shit up on the internet about the Mew (alongside missingo, item duping and such), save the pages, and then call me back and I would translate what the page said and describe what was actually happening in my game. We'd take notes, end the call, and I would start experimenting more long term on the game while he would go back online to look for info to either confirm or contradict what we'd learned. I'm sure they already existed, but we didn't know about web search sites, so all info was gleamed from random websites whose urls we basically just guessed. Put together some string of seemingly useful English words like "cheats", "trainer" and "game" and put either .net or .com on the end. We both got such a whooping for those phone bills.
Sorry for the blogging. I haven't thought about this retarded shit in years

>>4495983
>I do remember my friend trying to convince me that b.o.b. was the sequel to super metroid, boy was that dumb
I knew a kid like that. One time we saw a review/preview/whatever for Blood in a games mag and the headline was something like "Blood, Duke Nukem's darker brother" and almost immediately he started making up bullshit about how, yes, "Blood" was Duke Nukem's literal brother and that was his name and how there was a secret cutscene with them shaking hands and Duke calling "Blood" his brother.
Come to think of it I knew a few kids like that. I never understood that instinct to make up horseshit on the spot and just keep insisting it's real. What makes a kid like that? Parents not giving them attention? Child psychology is weird.

>>4510750
>mfw 10 years ago was literally 35 years ago
