Throughout the ages, we've been exposed to many urban legends in gaming. They were most popular back when online strategy guides didn't really exist.
Some examples of this include that infamous truck in Pokemon Red/Blue to get Mew
It was a stupid rumor, but that didn't stop people from trying. This is one of the urban legends, i'm talking about.
Another example of a pretty old gaming urban legend is the Tails Doll Curse. In the Tails Doll Curse, people who played the original sega saturn* version of Sonic R were said to have been cursed by performing a series of mechanics in the game, and that one day they would be killed by the creepy doll in real life. To this day, googling "tails doll curse" still yields recent rumors.
A more recent legend is how to obtain the "BOB" helmet in Halo Reach, still a mystery to this day. There are many of these legends in gaming, which one is your favorite, and why?
