As the title says, this thread is about any myths you ever heard about video games that you might have played or heard through a third party.
Mine is a bit extensive and a tad bizarre, but I was a kid a the time, so it seemed plausible to me. It's about Crash Bandicoot 3:Warped.
I was introduced to it through a demo I had at the time, I got interested and bought the game. I noticed there were differences between the demo and the game because of a level (the name of it is Gee Wiz) and I had no idea what they were about, mainly the background of the warp portal/ball I spawn out and the fewer crates at the beggining.
I lent the game to a cousing of mine that was eager to play and after awhile he said he figured it out why that was and what was needed to unlock it. So what he said; was I had to first complete the game with all the platinum relics, then head down to the Secret Warp Room and battle Cortex, though this battle supposedly was diferent, in a way Cortex was wielding two weapons and throwing 10 mines instead of 5, and I had assistance from Coco, then return to the SWR, pass through those now opened windows that separated me from Cortex's Minions' Assembly process and enter another warp portal, this time to face off a bunch of Minions in their skeletal forms and retrieve a key that unlocks the new TTM, after that return to the main warp room and watch as that warp portal from the demo opened up slightly to the right of the load/save screen, enter it and then a cutscene would show the destruction of the time twister machine, where I would head of to the new time twister machine to start over again, though the levels and the load/save screen had differences just like the demo one had, though this time, I wouldn't have to face Cortex.
Pretty cooky, huh? But I'm not done yet.
And a couple of years later I started to think my cousin, younger than me, trolled me big time, though with no malicious intent, but before I came to the conclusion, I got a hold of a demo disc which featured a video of CB3 mashed with a version of the Peter Gunn Theme, I watched it and it re-enforced the possibility of a second time twister machine based on the in-level diferences like in the demo one. But because I was unable to collect all the platinum relics in the first place, I just let it go and held on to that belief for friggin' 10 years until I found out what the differences were and drumroll, please:
The demo and the video were from the BETA VERSION of the game!!! A 12 year joke.
And do you know how this plausible now debunked achievement affected me? I had dreams of playing the beta version of the game.
It was like the second most wanted closure for this whole chapter.
So... what are your myths?
