+Propane13 Posted May 24, 2002 Share Posted May 24, 2002 How about a "things you thought would happen" thread? I thought if I got far enough in Dragonfire, I'd eventually see archers shooting at me over the wall. I heard that if you got far enough, Donkey Kong Jr. ended. Any others? John K.

StanJr Posted May 24, 2002 Share Posted May 24, 2002 I always thought I could get to the other side of the Throne Room in Crossbow. I did not know you were supposed to fall in the trap door! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opa Opa Posted May 24, 2002 Share Posted May 24, 2002 Let me just say that I thought the bat in Adventure would fall for me putting a sword down before swiping the key. Big Mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liquid_sky Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 i remember thinking that i might be able to get a robot to follow me in berzerk and have him shoot other robots of be a robot human shield. I also always thought that if i beat keystone kapers i might get to play as the thief. Fianally, i remember thinking that (this ones bad) Pele was a foozball champion and Peles soccer was about foozball because i always thoght the game looked like foozball. I was a kid who grew up in a football household, i didnt know who pele was! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 I thought that the SwordQuest games were gonna be the ultimate in exploration and adventure, requiring great skill, a sharp mind and offer priceless rewards. WOT A FRICKEN CROCK! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent X Posted May 26, 2002 Share Posted May 26, 2002 When I was young, and Pac-Man on the 2600 had only been out for a few months, a kid told me that after you reached 100,000 points in that game, it would play the song "Pac-Man Fever." For a short time, I actually believed that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATARIPITBULL Posted May 26, 2002 Share Posted May 26, 2002 When I was a little boy and Haunted House first came out, I thought it was going to be more that what it was just by the cool picture on the box, boy was I wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris++ Posted May 27, 2002 Share Posted May 27, 2002 When I first beat Raiders of the Lost Ark, I thought I'd see more than a repeat of the title screen! CF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noble Kale Posted May 28, 2002 Share Posted May 28, 2002 liquid, no river raid? you got a pal capable tv? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionrohrs Posted May 28, 2002 Share Posted May 28, 2002 After finding the hidden message in Adventure as a kid, I thought all games must have one. I wrote letters to all the companies that I knew of asking for hints. The ones that responded had no clue what an "easter egg" was. It's nice we can find them now here at Atari Age!
