The 8 bit Commodore Vic 20 was my first "PC", 1981 I think, it also had the cassette drive and was the first ever computer to sell a million units. I Remember it came with a matchstick men game that was absolutely crap

I remembered one funny thing. You probably, or most of you, know Duke Nuke'em 3D? There is this map when you are in the movies theater (film is running, a naughty one). I think it's called Hollywood Holocaust. There are these chicks dancing on the poles. You can give'em cash and they shake their boobs (pixelated not by censorship but rather low res). There's always this one that has her backs turned to you. You can't walk around to ever be in the front of her. That was funny

The other thing about the game. Did you guys know you can change the resolution of the game by editting the cfg file? You could put any res you want. It did look way better when you do 1080p or even higher. Boobs the chicks showed did not look that pixelated

Cheat code I remember in the Amiga variant of 'The New Zealand story" was "fluffykiwi" but also that "motherfxxkenkiwibastard" worked too.

It sound like the dev team was happy to stop working on this game

The Famous Urban Myth Mortal Kombat Reptile how to find/fight!

Alright so, my parents bought me a Sega Mega Drive Console with MK bundled when I was 12 years old and could do it extremely easy with the cheats enabled.

The Arcade is a completely different story!

For years I used to play the original MK on MAME and could eventually do the Double Flawless, Fatality, No Block and never once got Reptile..

So, I had to do a bit of digging and eventually found out the following.

Mortal Kombat version has to be 1.3v and above. This was key as I was always used to play on the original version 1.00.

Then 40+ battles would have to played in order to see the silhouettes fly past the moon on the Pit stage. A few credits would be needed here.

Once you have done the 40+ battles, on the Pit stage you will see the silhouettes fly across the moon and then the famous:

Double Flawless - Fatality - No Block.

I remember it took me a few times, but I eventually did it! I was so excited I had to capture a photo with my phone and got the following couple of photos.

Sadly, I lost the fight but was overthrown with joy just to accomplish the Famous Urban Myth!!

You can play Hitman Contracts and finish the game without killing anyone but the intended target's.

hate the hardness level in Hitman games for "kill only targets". Kill or be killed, sorry, I prefer to stay alive lol

It's the levels where you get up to a condo with Mona on the ground floor giving you directions, after you met the killed inner circle member at the top floor and you go down through some scaffolding, before you go back inside through the window, turn back and go around the corner where the room is located. God I play this game so many times back then I still remember the details. There's even a music when you first enter the room

They did the same on Max Payne 1 where there is a secret room with a dead person nailed to the floor with word BUFF written in blood, supposed a reference to Buffy Vampire Slayer. There's some molotov and grenade in the room too.

More fun fact about Max Payne 2, if you play on Dead on Arrival difficulty, you get an alternate ending You can hear NPC singing to Poets of The Falls - Late Goodbye on some instances, Mona Sax also sings this when you met her at her apartment when she's showering the apartment cleaner where you get the code of the door also sing this song, at the condo I mentioned earlier, one of the enemy play this song on piano.

Yep I vividly remember all of this too. Haha awesome. Just like this topic here

Killing? Who said anything about killing. Agent 47 just happens to be near said "targets" when they keep having unfortunate accidents.
