Game Easter Eggs
Hidden rooms, secret credits and famous easter eggs in games.
im literally losing my mind here sonic the Hedgehog (Sega Genesis / Mega Drive, 1991) has a hidden level select. On the title screen (with Sonic in the emblem), press Up, Down, Left, Right. If you did it right, youll hear a chime. Then hold A and press…
ok weird one classic gaming moment: Psycho Mantis. In Metal Gear Solid, Mantis checks ur PlayStation memory card and mentions specific Konami games uve played. He also does things like make teh screen go black as if the TV switched inputs. To fight him…
long time lurker first post lol okay, retro folks, I finally did it. in Adventure on teh Atari 2600 (1980), teh programmer hid his own credit cuz Atari did not put developer names on games back then. How it works: play game 2 or 3 xD Inside the Black Castles…
im literally losing my mind here my nephew was convinced Herobrine (the white eyed figure from old Minecraft creepypasta) was stalking his world. So I went digging. the truth: Herobrine has never been in teh game, it started as a fan horror story with a…
i'm replaying the original Zelda and found out about the ZELDA name trick. At file registration, type ZELDA as ur name. The game drops you into the Second Quest from the start. Its teh post game hard mode with rearranged dungeons and new secrets. Its one of…
halo 3 has 13 hidden skulls across the campaign, and one of them changes nothing except what characters say. The IWHBYD skull, located on The Covenant, makes rare diaolgue much more common. Grunts get chatty, Marines say weird things. Its purely for fun.…
hmmmm ok you know teh bouncing yellow text next to the Minecraft logo?? 😂 Those are splash texts, and there are hundreds of them, pulled at random each time teh title screen loads. The secret part: on certain dates teh game skips the random pick and shows a…
long time lurker first post lol metroid on the NES uses passwords instead of battery saves. The most famous one is: JUSTIN BAILEY followed by dashes to fill teh rest (written as 'JUSTIN BAILEY '). Enter it and you start with Samus out of her power suit, in a…
help!! so the original Diablo had a fan rumor that clicking a certain cow enough times opened a secret level. it wasnt true, blizzard leaned into it: in StarCraft the cheat code there is no cow level exists, and in Diablo II they actually added the Secret…
PSA for anyone who never actually tried it: teh Konami code is not just a meme, it really does things in a bunch of Konami games. In Contra (NES, North American release) u enter it on the title screen: Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, then…
so annoyed rn my proudest gaimng moment this week: i got Little Rocket Man in Half Life 2: Episode Two. The achievement requires carrying a specific garden gnome from early in the episode all the way to the rocket at the finale and putting it inside. You…
This one is small but I love it. In Minecraft, if you use a name tag renamed to Toast on a rabbit, it gets a unique black and white skin u cant get any other way. the story: when rabbits were being added to Minecraft, a player asked whether their real pet…
today I won teh most useless lottery in gaimng: the Minceraft logo. In Minecraft Java Edition, the title screen logo has a very small chance of being spelled Minceraft. Its a deliberate easter egg. You cant trigger it on purpose in vanilla, you just have to…
so annoyed rn finally did it on my original NES: the Minus World. The setup: in World 1 2, go to the area near the end with the pipe that exits the level 🙏 Break teh bricks except the one at the right edge, stand near the wall, and do a ducking backwards…
undertale name screen secrets i found tonight: Frisk gives a warning and satrts hard mode. 'Gaster' instantly restarts the game. Typing teh names of some main characters gets a funny reaction or an outright refusal. the hard mode is short, it ends patrway…
One of my favorite environmental secrets ever: the hidden dens in Portal. in several test chambers u can find openings that lead behind the clean white panels. inside there are messy hideouts with drawings, poems and warnings scrawled on teh walls. one…
i just started a Fallout: New Vegas run with Wild Wasteland, and its so much fun. The trait adds weird and silly events: a skeleton in a fridge with a fedora, unusual weapons, and references to movies and other games. Some of these replace more serious…
one of my favorite tiny Minecraft secrets: the Dinnerbone name tag. steps: 1. Get a name tag (fishing, chests, or trading with librarian villagers). 2. use an anvil to rename it Dinnerbone. 3. use it on any mob. The mob flips upside down. The joke is about a…
Doom II spoiler for a game from 1994, so i think we're fine. On the last level (MAP30, the Icon of Sin), you beat teh boss by firing rockets into an exposed spot in the giant demon wall. Whats behind it? If you use the noclip cheat (icdlip) in single player…
guys pls help rockstars sense of humor in one image: a door with a sign saying No Hidden Content Here, and behind it, hidden content. in GTA IV, Happiness Island's statue has a hidden interoir... climb up the ladders and u'll see a giant beating heart…
i built a little petting zoo in my Minecraft world and needed a centerpiece. Enter teh jeb sheep: name tag a sheep 'jeb ' and it cycles through the rainbow forever. its a developer name easter egg, similar to naming a mob Dinnerbone to flip it upside down.…
ok weird one doom II secret levels guide for anyone who missed them like i did: 1, in MAP15, look for the secret exit, it's tucked away, sooo a guide or careful exploration helps. 2. that takes u to MAP31, a Wolfenstein 3D themed level. 3. MAP31 has another…
found the World 1 3 warp whistle in Mario 3 today and its genuinely clever. steps: 1. Reach teh white block near the end of World 1 3. 2. crouch (hold down) on it for a few seconds. 3. mario falls behind teh background layer. 4. Run to the right past teh end…
hmmmm ok i finally did the Reptile fight in the original Mortal Kombat on a home version that emulates the arcade game. the conditions: The Pit stage, a shadow flying across the moon, double flawless victory, no blocking at all, and a fatality at the end.…
Castlevania: Symphony of teh Night (PS1, 1997) has a hidden mode. after youve cleared the game once (your meomry card needs a clear save), start a new game and enter RICHTER as ur name. youll play as Richter Belmont instead of Alucard, with whip attacks and…
