Unreality - 10 of the Most Widely Believed Video Game Urban Legends |

I wasn't really sure what forum to put this in. What surprises me is that the Dunk Contest code from NBA Live 97 for the PS1 didn't make it onto that list. There were so many variations of it and it never existed.

WOW.......the only one I even heard of was the Lara Croft nude code for Tomb Raider. But then again I grew up in a neighborhood where video game playing wasn't discussed out in public.

Yeah kiddies back then in the 80s and 1st half of the 90s if you played video games you were considered a nerd. At least that is how it was on the west side of Chicago.

What is that legend about the NBA Live 97? Could you explain that?

Back in Live 97 for the PS1 there was a rumor there was a Dunk Contest hidden in half time of the All Star game if you entered a code at halftime. All the codes involved pressing start which exited halftime but people kept trying.

Where I grew up people were more material. To be considered a cool kid you had to be wearing the latest Jordan's shoes, latest Fubu clothes, gold herring bone around your neck, beeper, smoking black n milds, have access to some Old English, Seagrams or Grey Goose
