Gamers love a good rumor, but not every legend turns out to be true. In this video, we’re looking at 10 video game myths that were total nonsense and 10 that actually turned out to be real. Some of these rumors sent players searching for secret characters, hidden levels, impossible unlocks, and creepy mysteries that never existed. Others sounded fake for years, until players discovered there really was something hidden in the code, buried in the desert, or waiting behind a ridiculous unlock condition. We’ll cover fake gaming myths like Sega Blast Processing, removing Lara Croft’s clothes, Sparky the Dog, blowing Nintendo cartridges, Herobrine, bringing Aerith back to life, Mew under the truck, Ratman in GTA IV, Polybius, and Sonic in Super Smash Bros. 64. Then we’ll look at myths that turned out to have truth behind them, including Bowser statues in Mario Kart 64, PS3 consoles playing PS2 games, Lisa following you in P.T., catching Mew in Pokémon Red and Blue through glitches, Bigfoot appearing in GTA V, Atari burying games in the desert, hidden bosses in Mortal Kombat, Diablo’s secret cow level, controlling Master Hand in Super Smash Bros. Melee, and hidden GoldenEye 64 character data. Whether you grew up hearing playground rumors, forum legends, cheat-code myths, or creepy gaming urban legends, this video shows which stories were nonsense and which ones were secretly real all along.
