It’s been a while since we shared an episode of GameTrailers’ Pop Fiction, which discusses rumored tricks and glitches in various videogames then tests their validity, Myth Busters style.

Be prepared to receive an unnecessarily detailed technical explanation as to why the game prevented players from advancing past the fourth level. A surprising amount of research was done to explain why Cheetahmen II and its predecessor Action 52 were pure garbage.
