Enough already! These tall tales may be true, but they've also grown repetitively tedious

Totally agree with the top two. Yeah we know ET was bad, now can we please let it go already?

I remember that image of Duke cupping Lara's breasts! It was featured in an issue of NextGen and was supposed to be the cover for it before the censor police came round. Here's the first result of a Google Image Search for "next gen magazine lara croft duke"

I like how an article about how you don't want to hear about these stories has instigated a lot of discussion about them...

The ones Im tired of hearing about are the Custard's Revenge and the E.T. controversy.

I dont mind hearing about the nintendo/playstation one. I just find that so freaking ironic!

I hadn't heard of entries 7 and 6.

And I still find the Mega Man box art hilarious.

Also, I've pretty much forgotten the deal with ET, other than it's considered worse than Superman 64. Now there's a video game legend I'm SURE you'll want to hear...

I got 2 words for our favorate whining friend Games Radar:

SHUT UP!!!

You guys might not care anymore.
You guys don't want to hear it anymore.
But there is always somebody who never heard of these legends before and want to hear them.

If you don't learn from these legends you will make the same mistakes again and again.

If you don't want to hear it change the channel or go to a different site. Don't stop somebody else from hearing these legends because you are tired of them.

You may be tired of it but there is always somebody interested in the legends.
The legends will never die.
DEAL WITH IT WHINERS!!!

I don't find the bad Megaman box art that funny or interesting. And hey it's Night Trap.

@Picachu2000
Look who's calling who whiners.

I bet that in a few years Duke Nukem Forever will become one of these legends.

Fun list.

I actually have an original copy of the E.T game on 2600 , probably rotting in my basement of eternal torture. Thank the heavens I didn't play it.

I actually did watch the BBC documentary on Tetris, hell it was the first thing they ever showed on their newest channel BBC Four, which was more pretentious and artsy. So when a documentary on Tetris came on I watched it all the way through.

Damn fascinating so yeah nobody can tell me any better on the story of Tetris.

@ pikachu2000. I think this article's title was meant as a clever way to say "hey here are the greatest and most notorious legends in gaming, but we don't want to patronize those who have been following the industry for years and have heard these stories dozens of times".

I have heard these mostly myself but it was still nice to get a recap, the Tetris one was actually mostly new to me and I quite enjoyed that documentary.

The writeup for E.T. was pure comedic genius btw, I started laughing at the remote Amazonian tribe thing and it only got better from there.
