A common one was people saying scorpion would yell "GET THE (funk) OVER HERE". They always said there was a switch to activate it. We looked and looked. The operator for the game even got curious and looked for a switch on the PCB.

Alas, it was a blatant lie. But a lot of us believed it. The game was already pushing the envelope enough, so it wasn't that hard to believe.


If i'm not mistaken, there was also a rumor about Virtua Fighter in which you could pose your fighters in X-rated positions after winning a fight. I think it was the 32X port, but I'm not sure. I remember reading about it in Game Players magazine in their Quick Reviews section way back when....
