I appreciate the fact that they touched on how he's not in all the arcade revisions, but I wish they had expanded on that for some people. It's funny how much people later "discovered" in MK games, things that they thought were long-hidden secrets, when they weren't actually there to begin with.

They showed one of the easier places to get it to trigger. To my understanding, it's where it sends you if it receives an invalid destination or no destination, it's probably room 0 in the code.

I feel old. This latest one is a pretty well-known myth and those that owned MK should and must know about this. The easiest way of facing reptile in Genesis version is using the cheat code "DULLARD". One thing that I would've love to see them show is the various variations of Reptile, particularly Sonya. Yes, there are various versions of Reptile.

Oh and to top this off, in MK2 you are able to fight Noob Saibot, Smoke and Jade. ALSO, if you win 200 times you get to play Pong. ALSO: There is a cheat where you can kill someone the very first round using Kung Lao's hat throw and it'll result in fatality. What a fantastic series with loads of easter eggs!

Yeah the different versions of Reptile was accomplished by pressing start on controller 2 when you were fighting Reptile, if I remember correctly. You'd be returned to the character select screen but all the characters would have a weird green glitched look to them. Didn't carry over to the gameplay though, just the character select screen.

The MK2 ones I know about, except for the Kung Lao hat one, is that true?

The new video isn't playing for me, gametrailers always has some kind of video playback problem.

*edit* watched it, interesting how he was found in the arcade version but i'm rather sure I have fought him in the genesis title back when I use to rent it, and that fight at the bottom of the pit, brings back some nostalgia memories.

Reptile myth? was this even a myth? I mean...he jumps down and gives you clues. What a cop out to try and pass this off as anything other than completely blatant and common knowledge. The real MK1 'myth' to conquer is Ermac, and the odds of them finding anything there are basically 0 so...

Anyone that legitimately thinks this episode qualifies must've just never even played the game. It'd be like if the Chris Houlihan room had little clues scattered all around "Try to find my room! - C H" or something, when they tell you it's there it's not exactly a secret, as much as it may be a cool trick or something that was challenging.

The Master Hand thing is incredible. Truly the stuff of myth and legend turning out to be true!

Reptile episode is a cop-out though. They should've covered something to do with ERMAC instead.

Yeah it is. I don't remember exactly but I fucking messed around the game ALOT! There were so many debug options in MK2, it's not even funny. In the cheat, you have to change some settings in cheat mode, play as Kung Lao and not use a particular button or a particular move. Win the match with (I think. Not sure) no damage and perform a fatality, and the next time you take Kung lao, throw the hat and the opponent will die instantly.

Let me see if I can google it.

EDIT: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXfB5JbwtVk

There are many other cheats, like 2 hat throw fatalities, three head Johnny Cage uppercut fatalities, Shang Tsung turning into Kintaro fatality, etc etc. Brilliant fucking game!!

I suspect they might have just dug up a copy with all the missions and cheats already done.

Well, the room is supposdly just a failsafe for when the game fails to load the actual room you should be entering.

Goldeneye was filled with strange stuff that didn't really do anything. I remember killing the General in Silo (which isn't supposed to happen) and you get a briefcase and some disk. Neither of them do anything. I also remember something strange in Train, I think you got it if you killed Xena and the General before the door closed.

Killing/shooting Oroumov and Xena (or whatever way you spell those names) is essential in getting the silver PPK. You get quite a few additional seconds to burn away that pesky hatch on the floor if you manage to shoot them before the wall comes down.

IIRC, the "legit Mew" trick was only figured out in something like 2002 or 2003, when the GBA games were already out.

They figured it out not by chance, but by looking at the game's code and how it loaded things into memory. It manipulates the game into thinking that Mew is queued up in memory for a random encounter.
