Do you have any false memories of retro vidya that just aren't there despite you remembering it clearly?

>Zora's Fountain from OoT.
>Remember it having an additional two exits
>One was the gate opposite Jabu being completely open
>Going through was a shortcut to Zora's River
>Second was another river exit
>Following it along had a few large logs in the water and a Zora NPC along the way
>Going through all the way would lead you to a warp that placed you at the mouth of the small waterfall in Kokiri Forest

I played Pong in MK II on the SNES and was told that was impossible, but was never given proof that it wasn't. I did the 200 vs matches required just to see if it was true and this was like 25 years ago.

I also remember playing Doom Trilogy on PSX, but later found out that there was only Doom and Final Doom. I guess my brain somehow jumbled memories with Doom and Alien Trilogy maybe?

But plenty of things are true that you can't find evidence of online to back up your story, like how there were Japanese maids serving free hot chocolate at night in a small shack near Thunder Mountain Railroad at Disney World one time I went there in the winter. I confirmed my memory was real with my mom, since she was there as well, but no one else on the planet seems to have ever witnessed this.

Don't take this as doubting or me gaslighting, but human memory is so unreliable and prone to producing falsities through suggestion that it is not unheard of for a person to say they remember the same thing you remember when the event never happened.

A game that looked like NES or old arcade, being played on the PS1.

It was like Mario, but the level tiles kinda looked like pic related.

I mostly thought it was just a recurring dream, but I never knew for sure. I was too young.

I played Namco Museum at the time, so my brain must have drawn inspiration from that.

It’s kind of a thing, they amalgamate Doom 1&2 in ps1 Doom

In Ocarina of Time there used to be a tunnel behind the big goron who sells you the giant's knife and you could walk down it.

I remembered there being doors visible up towards the ceiling in Dorrie’s area in Hazy Maze Cave in SM64, and wondering how I could get up there and see what was in the doors. There was nothing, no doors. Not even something that could be misconstrued as doors.

In OoT I remember seeing what looked like the hazy outline of a pyramid off into the distance somewhere in the Haunted Wasteland, and I recall back in the day some people on forums also saying they saw it and speculating about it being the Sky Temple or some shit, though come to think of it I don't know what came first, my supposed witnessing of the pyramid or my coming across those rumors. The sign outside of the Haunted Wasteland does say something about getting lost if you chase a mirage, so maybe that was just enough suggestion to see shit that wasn't actually there in any sense through the haze of the sandstorm.

I remember playing a "diablo-killer" ARPG (back when ARPGs were openly advertising themselves as "diablo killers") where you went up to a merchant who was dressed in a tie-dye shirt, vest & round glasses. He said "groovy, dude" whenever you bought something from him.

Yet, for the life of me, I can't remember the name of the game and can't find that incident anywhere on the Internet. It was the demo of the game and, for the time, I remember that demos were often different than the retail version of the game.

I remember that the game was medieval fantasy and so the "groovy dude" merchant was clearly anachronistic and meant to evoke a 1960's hippie vibe.

I'm pretty sure that it exists but... Without evidence... Who knows?

there's a mod that is that, and i remember torrenting the game when i didn't know much about that and the game started up and played in full 3D, i didn't think anything of it until years and years later when it was like "doy, of course it was a texture pack, the game is sprite based"

Man OoT is never the way I remember it whenever I play it. Sometimes it's like I'm stuck in jabu thinking wtf do I do or it's the water temple. I feel like my brain has some sort of selective retardation about that game and what was easy or not because I breeze through parts of it and get stuck on ridiculous things other times.
You ever call the nintendo help line? They actually have english speakers on it instead of indians years ago. This super gay guy answered my call and was talking about blowing the cartridge. It's like bro the only thing I blow is these cartridges and I'm not going to stop. Just weird having a non-indian call center answer your phone calls to their #'s. Not bad weird, but like I wasn't expecting that sort of odd.

I remember being very scared of a part of the first level of Turok 2 for Nintendo 64 where there is a trench and you are attacked by two raptors, then there is a giant golden stairway with more raptors. I could swear I remember dreading this part when I was 12 but years later I watched someonenplay through the game on Youtube and there was no trench and no giant golden stairwayon the first level. I even found a render online of the entire map to look for it and it wasn't there. Maybe I was just dreaming because I had a fear of the raptors because of Jurassic Park despite them not being so dangerous enemies in the game.

>>9017093
Not just children, mang. EVERYONE's brains are more than capable of making mistakes. People assume our brains work like cameras capturing an event and storing it into a hard drive, and memories are files we can pull up and reproduce bit-exact. In reality, every time we recall a memory, what we're actually doing is reconstructing the event, and every single time we do so, we're likely to add, change, embellish or remove details, usually to fit a narrative. Sometimes we splice events together, and sometimes we straight-up make shit up. Normal, fully functional adults do this all the time, but we don't normally notice it unless someone calls us out on it, and of course being egotistical creatures with an agenda many of us fervently deny it and say shit like "I remember it clear as day" or "I know what I saw!"

I don't think this is a 'false memory', because i know it was real. back in the mid 2000's, I deiced to download the original Carmageddon for PC, I downloaded it from either Kazzaa, or limewire, some P2P file transfer system. The version I downloaded had some sort of Direct3D .exe, that I have never heard anyone talk about before. But I use to play the game on my PC with perspective correction, filtered graphics, high framerate running nattily on Windows XP. I think the windows .exe was developed by ATi (now AMD), because ATi was also responsible for making a Tomb Raider 1 windows DX .exe as well. When I saw LGR talk about Carmageddon and he said "it's a bitch to get working on anything but .dos" my first response was that I was playing the game on Windows. I think it was a beta of some kind that leaked onto the web via P2P and i was one of the people to download it.
