After putting together the Pac-Man Vs. post the other day

I was wondering if any of you have done anything creative (undocumented) with you gaming hardware/software...

Well back in the N64 days, we would play WWF No Mercy, we decided to make our own type of match, like if anyone loses a match, your character you created has got to wear a bikini for a month...good times, good times.

Back when Goldeneye was really big we would get two TVs and a signal splitter. Then we'd tape paper across the top or bottom of a screen to prevent screen peeking. It made 2v2 matches much more intense.

It's creative, but many other people did think of it.
Ahh.... overcoming technical limitations...

One day, a friend and I were playing Mario Power Tennis, and he decided it would be funny to try playing a blind game (IE: switch the TV off video mode so you can't see the game on TV) against an AI to see how we'd fare. We turned back after about 5 minutes and saw that he won a game and was on set point already in the 2nd game against the AI player.

Well, lemme explain this a bit more; you know how when people usually play games on a TV they have to switch it to video mode? basically we just switched the TV off video mode, so it would just be a normal TV show on the screen. So we were blind, deaf, and dumb to our progress in the match until we switched back to video mode.
