oh and the only way to get mew (with out a gameshark) was from A pokemn convention were they unlocked it for you. Its rumored that the official mew is more powerful than the any of gameshark ones.

Super Smash Bros. Melee: Unlocking 999 other characters...
SSBM: Daisy's third eye.


you can unlock several different characters in ssbm, but not 999 that I know of, I think total you can only have 24 characters??
I dont know about daisy's third eye?
I heard you could play as a koop-troopa, but I think that was a farce. It never worked for me.

I dunno, but I remember the time of GTA3....all I heard or read about where freaking rumors about "Darkel".

"Darkel" was a character taken out of the game at the last minute. He was a bum who met you in that tunnel that ended at 8-ball's place, and his missions were ridiculously evil and dark. The ice cream truck bomb mission was one of his, only instead of mafioso you where supposed to blow up regular people.

In fact, I have seen screenshots from betas that show and even name Darkel. He was a real character at first, but I swear to Allah that for months people SWORE you could get to him. Everything from killing enough people to unlock him, or flying the dodo to the 'ghost' island in the ocean.

absurd.

anyone ever hear of "nudealities"? where you would
take the clothes off of the character you just beat the snot out of?

STREET FIGHTER ll
i remember hearing about a code with Guile. you do it right and he
handcuffs his opponent. It makes sense that he would have cuffs on him somewhere, being from the military and all...

I heard one where if you beat GTA 3, Vice City and San Andreas in that order, each game with no cheats, 100% and in under 2 days, you unlock secret stuff on the 3 games. But i dont think ANYONE has done that yet

Ah the nostalgia tongue.gif My friend won a Mew at Toys R Us, back when they had a contest where if you bought something, they give you a scratch card. Unfortunately, his mom didn't send in his cart, because he was a bad kid, so he got no Mew crying.gif Myself, I used Gameshark grin2.gif Caught a couple Mews for myself, and a crap load more to sell to kiddos.

Who doesn't remember Missingno., Pokemon M, and the infinite items cheat? Pokemon M sucked though disgust.gif

There was always talk of a cheat in Final Fantasy VII that would allow you to bring back Aeris after she had died. I think I even saw screenshots of her battling later on in the game. Most likeley faked pictures, but that would have been kinda cool.  tongue.gif

yeah you could do it. It was a gameshark code though, there was a code that let you have Sephiroth in your party too. Just gameshark it!

Actually, that's true! Sort of. Allow me to explain:

If you beat every Ultimate Weapon, and take the items they drop to a certain person in the game, you recieve "underwater materia". One of my friends actually still has a memory card with a save file containing the fabled materia, and I have seen it for myself. For a long time we tried to figure out what it did. We finally found out that it was meant to be used to revive Aeris, but squaresoft was under pressure to put the game out at a certain time, and was unable to finish that part of the game. Any pictures you saw were most likely a fake. However, the underwater meteria is not.

On a more serious note, in regards to Polybius... I just got the greatest idea. If anyone here knows any computer langauge or has any electronic skills, we should SERIOUSLY put collaborate on putting together a Polybius arcade machine and sell it on e-bay. It would be worth a fortune!!!

lol lol I heard of the Lara Croft one .

On the Polybius game, I've found a coin-op pic (dunno if it's been shown or not yet- sry) http://www.demolitionman.org/images/polybius.jpg (there seems to be a key in the lock box of it)

1 joystick, 1 button? Somehow that arcade unit looks eerie.
nick_fury
I would hazard a guess that that's either a doctored photograph,or a one of a kind homage, seeing as for all intents and purposes polybuis never existed

Actually the underwater materia is used to fight the emerald weapon. With it you can take your time instead of having to do it in under twenty minutes. Aeris was never meant to be revived, ever. The only way was with a gameshark.

Oh, yummy nostalgia...I remember the first place I got MissingNo was waiting out in the car with Doggy, outside of the bank, waiting for our mom to came back. My game got all flipped up, but nothing serious. The graphics in battles just got funky.

i remember one from a gaming magazine in england to do with mortal kombat 2 on SNES. it was to do with entering certain cheats (possibly the blood one mentioned earlier, i can't remember) but they claimed that the cheats they got were on the US version of the game. to get the cheats to work on a UK machine, you had to tape a penny coin to the cartridge. the explanation was that the US cartridge weighed slightly more and the penny was used to replicate the weight to make the cheats work.

it was obviously an April Folls joke (being in the april issue), but it didn't stop people trying.

They had blood in Mortal Kombat 2, so that could not of been the cheat.

True (i have pictures of it) - There was a cheat with Johnny Cage uppercut fatility where he decapitates 3 head off his opponent.


Rumor from an old friend - In that level with that monk and the portal. if you choose Sub-Zero, during the fight, uppercut your opponent and then when he is in the air do a 'death ice-ball' fatility. He will die and the monk will open the portal and you fight a boss that is tougher than Shao Khan

1: Go into the parking lot behind the Malibu club
2: Look at the sky scraper across the street,this is the building where the egg happens
3: This egg is best viewed across the river, so just cross the bridge to the north and run around to the fence so you can see the building.
4; At 23:00, some of the windows in the building will light up, and create a certain image
5: Also, at 15 minute intervals (23:15,23:30...)a jet of "water" will be sprayed from the top of the building.

yupper that was in here about four times, but thats o.k. i do the same thing when threads get so long.
you wont be able to dig them up though, they werent buried, they were crushed with rocks being made into pavement, so that they couldn't be dug up.

Hey, do any of you young-uns remeber the negative world in super mario brothers?

The legend that there are UFOs that land in the desert and bigfoot is in the forest is a legend, some people took the game apart (not litterally, took the files and read them) and there is no bigfoot or UFOs

look, there is no sea serpant, bigfoot or UFOS or anything like that on San Andreas, there is a ghost car that drives around the Back O' Beyond with no driver and the Lil' Probe Inn with pics of UFOs, but thats it. Oh, and there is that lemmings thing
nick_fury
There's a wierd serial killerstyle guy in San Andreas too though.

I've found his house and been there several times, although he's never done anything strange, but I've seen pictures of him standing on his roof, killing people on his porch and chasing the player down the road.

These could all be forged pics, but the fact that he is not a 'pedestrian skin' and there is only the one guy that looks like him in the whole game (as far as I've seen) suggests otherwise

Weird_Al_Wonnabe
where did you see them at, can i have the link if there is one. There is that guy that shoots you with the snipe on GTA Vice City if you go in his yard
nick_fury
This is where I found them, if you look through all the pics there's a circled area on the map in one of them tells you where to go

that looks soo weird, have you found him yet, i cant go on my ps2 right now coz my bro watching TV
