I don't know if it qualifies as a hox, but there used to be rumors that you could get to the volcano in the arcade Battle Zone. I knew a lot of people who were convinced that if you got really high scores on arcade video games, the machine would take you picture and give it to the air force so they could try to recruit you to fly fighter planes. The most famous hoax I know - The Tomb Raider nude code. People believed in this for PC and Playstation. Finally hackers had to make Nude Raider, but I think PSX owners are out of luck with that!
