5 N64 Fake Cheats You Desparately Wanted to Be True
CHECK OUT THIS POST AND OTHER COOL GAMING NEWS ON GAMETYRANT!
Back when the internet was in it's youth, and you had to plan what you wanted to do before you got on as to not tie up the phone line, there was a lot of BS floating around the internet. This prehistoric form of trolling came in the form of cheat codes which promised awesomeness, but only at a highly complicated price.
It was sick and twisted, but in a world where videos and comments were sparse and the only proof came in the form of slow loading screen shots...what choice did we have other than to try and pray for the mercy of the gaming gods.
Some of these you may not know, some you may know far too well...enjoy.
5. Playing as Dark Link in Ocarina of Time
Because being a shadow is just so damn cool, or maybe it was the fact his name has an adjective in it. Whatever the case, this was a heavily posted cheat back in the day. The demand to play as Dark Link has been so great, a battle event was added with him in Super Smash Bros Melee, and a character skin for the was added in Super Smash Brothers Brawl.
4. Killing Ourumov in Facility
Apparently I was looking this one up and I saw somebody actually do it...granted they had invincibility activated, double golden guns, they killed Trevylan (for the best really) and I've done this BEFORE A HUNDRED TIMES AND HE DOESN'T DIE DAMMIT! Take that and the fact he disabled comments on this video...most likely a hack. I've seen Ourumov take hundreds of golden gun bullets, inhale more than a healthy amount of poisonous gas, and still haul ass out of that place so fast he fades into nothingness...he don't die.
3. You Can Leave the Cart In Pokemon Snap!
No you can't and you are an asshole for crushing my dreams...you can however break the hell out of a legion of Charmanders.
2. If you Piss Bottles Off Enough in Banjo Kazooie, He Really Will Delete your Game
This one, much like the infamous level 100 Charizard water cheat for Pokemon Blue, was perhaps the most frustrating...basically the whole concept was you continually keep going through the below sequence of three lines that Bottles 100 times until apparently he says, "ENOUGH! I'VE DELETED EVERYTHING, MWAHAHAHAHAHA!". So imagine my disappointment after pressing through 300 times to see Bottles, like he did 299 times before, be a punk bitch, which he will forever be....always.
1. You Can Play As Luigi in Super Mario 64?!?!?!??!?!?!??!??!??!??!??!??!??!??!!??!?!??!?!?!@#$@!
Perhaps the mother of all troll cheats in gaming history. Everyone's heard it, and most likely a lot of you tried it. Don't deny it, you were young, the late 90's made us all do a lot of crazy things. This cheat usually accompanied a lot of off the wall seemingly impossible tasks that had to be done exactly right, back to back, or you had to start over. Princess Peach's secret slide always seemed to be involved in all combinations and all pictures you saw just looked like Mario with a wardrobe change, but you just thought that was laziness on the developers part right? All was well though when you unlocked all the stars and were able to use the cannon to ride Yoshi at the top of the castle...WAIT YOU CAN"T RIDE YOSHI?!?!
