10 Video Game Myths We All Stupidly Believed As Kids

8. Any Path To A Naked Lara Croft

Ten years after Samus blasted her way into the gaming world, Eidos Interactive offered us a new digital ingenue... and her name was Lara Croft. In Tomb Raider, gamers were treated to an adventure heroine in the same vein as Indiana Jones, whose travels and quests saw us guiding her through temples, caves, and of course a few tombs. Unlike Indiana Jones, however, Lara took us through that world in short-shorts and a t-shirt tightly wrapped around digital cleavage that clearly suggested there was a way to see more. However, back in the original Tomb Raider for the Playstation, PC, and Sega Saturn, Lara Croft wasn't as highly rendered as she is today. Her more womanly aspects were rather triangular and yet she still managed to have a figure that would have made a Barbie Doll blush, and legions of anxious youngsters couldn't wait to see... well... it's hard to say what they would have seen, given the limitations of the graphics. Despite the almost immediate rumors that there was some sort of trick or code to get Ms. Croft nude and skulking around dangerous and exotic landscapes with guns and wolves, it just isn't so. This didn't stop the new school yard of the internet from proliferating the lie like mad though. It seems that every time the hunt had been debunked - even through game hexing - hope sprang eternal that somehow there was a way to get to the Tomb Raider's literal naughty bits. Of course nowadays you can just find a hack or something.
