Dumbest video game lie or rumor you ever heard

[Shrapnoid]

What is the absolute, dumbest, stupidest, most ridiculous game tale that you've ever heard or read about?

[Samurai Ghost]

A Sonic game on a Nintendo system.  Oh wait...

[bartre]

a game where sonic and mario could fight each other.
wait...

[SamIAm]

N64 games will look like Toy Story.

...

Also, if we include playground rumors, I think the all-time worst I ever heard was one younger kid claiming the his older brother had physically scratched his Quake CD in just such a way as to change one of the enemy face textures into a picture of Bill Clinton.

Yeah I think I had that mag or one like it back in the day that had all kinds of crazy Street Fighter 2 screen shots. One that sticks in my mind is a shot of Guile holding a gun. It blew my mind as a kid obsessed with the game to see actual shots of this kind of stuff, but it must have been doctored somehow.

Well, I was gonna mention that EGM April fool.

I guess the other biggest load of shit I ever heard was this weirdo in the pub telling me lie after lie, such as:
He once smashed Vega's mask of During a fight in Street Fighter II
He then picked up Vega's claw
He won a 2m replica sephiroth sword for being one of the first 10 people in the world to complete Final Fantasy VII.

The man was a certified buffoon.

HAHAHA!



I remember some PC nerd back in 1994, while we were playing Daytona USA in the arcades, he told us that his uberstrong PC could do it much better.

A friend who was notorious for bullshitting people would do this all the time. The most memorable one was that the ship from Cybernoid was a real aircraft.

and that he had flown it.

It could.  If Carmack was who you were talking to, lol

Polybius?

- That the second print Sapphire CD's 'might' be real, nobody knows 'for sure'.

- That you could play as the boss characters in the original 'Street Fighter II - The World Warrior' arcade game by simply rewiring the joysticks.

- That this was a real product and going to be released:

I can't think of anything sillier than the 'second print' believers, but this was definitely one of the funniest and most entertaining hoaxes.  Thanks again, Chris.

Oh yes, Chris had a great thing there!

That was Microsoft with the original Xbox making such elaborate claims.
