10 Craziest Video Game Myths (That Turned Out To Be True)

6. You Can Find A Hidden Photo Of Rebecca Chambers In Resident Evil 2

In the good old days of the late nineties, a lot of nonsense rumours cropped up around the first two Resident Evil games, like being able to play as Street Fighter characters or unlocking a first person shooter mode. Another rumour was you could play as Rebecca Chambers in Resident Evil 2, and if you completed certain conditions the front gate of the police station would open and trigger a mini-game with Rebecca. This, once again, was nonsense.

However the idea you could find a hidden picture of Rebecca in the game refused to go away, and thanks the efforts of really persistent nerds it was discovered to be true years later. If you go to Albert Wesker€™s desk and search it fifty times in a row (yes, FIFTY times) eventually you€™ll get €œrewarded€ with a photo of Rebecca in a basketball uniform. Which if nothing else raises an interesting question; why the hell would Wesker have such a thing?
