He may drop from the ceiling on TV, but not on the game. BTW I tried two
hidden tricks on WCW Nitro, the "big head, big hands, big feet" code and the
"huge head" mode. With big heads, big hands, and big feet, the wrestlers
looked very funny. And the huge head mode showed the real Hollywood Hogan
(head swelled due to massive ego <g>).

On WCW Vs The World there is a Japanese wrestler called Bad Blood. He has his

about all the non-WCW wrestlers featured on WCW Vs The World are based on

Does *anybody* know if a code exists for San Francisco Rush for Playstation
that turns off the timer?  I know there is a code for the N64 version, so
surely they put one in this one as well.  :)
Also, has anybody found any tricks for Need for Speed III yet?  I've been
fooling around to see if I can find anything, but nothing yet.  The last
NFS let you drive as the pedestrian cars(among other things), so hopefully
they added a code like that for this one too.  Thanks in advance.
