Some games have very funny stuff hidden for you to find.
Some are obvious, and some are very hard to find.

GTA 3 for example.
An easy one is car surfing. You jump on a car and schoot it once. It drives of like crazy with you on top of it. This way you can surf all over town, if you can stay on top long enough that is.

And then there are the hard one's. Look at this:


Have some of you found stuff like that?
Please, share it!

(if I think of others, I'll post them)

Thought I'd put some stuff in here, too.

In the Anime-style game Oni, one room contains a rabbit hidden in side of a square formation of crates (If you fall down here, there is no hope of getting back out). If you fall in between the crates (dead-near impossible task), the rabbit bites you continuously, removing 2-4 HP at a time, causing a very slow death because you can't climb out of the crate formation.

In the Bioware game Baldur's Gate 2: Shadow of Amn there is a painting on a Nobleman's house somewhere in Athkatla. This graphic is actually a picture of Elvis fit to the game format.

In Tony Hawk Pro Skater , one of tha basic level maps is a city area. If your charactor skates in the streets long enough, an ungodly fast car will drive up and run you over.

In the motercycle game MotoRacer, one of the racing arias is based in Arizona. If you look at the right time in the sky, a UFO will fly overhead and occasionally abducts one of the other racers.

I can't think of anything else now...I'll get more later.

(That one you posted is pretty good ... You'll have to find more, Rob-hin)

LucasArts games always have little hidden easter eggs. For example in Monkey Island 3, whilst searching in the mists of tyme, a silhouette image of an X-Wing crashed in the background (From Empire Strikes Back on Yoda's planet) can just be barely seen. There are a few others, just can't think of them right now

LOL!

Funny stuff!

I've got the fealing older games have more of those funny things. In those days, they were a bit more creative IMO.
I never knew about those eggs... while I played many of those games. (damn, just realised you didn't mean REAL eggs... )

Since we're kinda on the topic of old games. I need some help with Mockey island (1).

I'm stuck on the part where Threepwood sails of with his new crew. I'm on the boat and the rest is just sitting in their seats doing nothing. So far I've only found out I can fire the cannon but nothing more.

What should I do now?
I'd love to finish the game after all this time!

*tries to remember Monkey Island 1!* It's been a while... can't you go inside the ship and stuff?

*Starts going through old dd discs*

Uhm, yeah.
IIRC I found a fuse for the cannon there. I can't remember what else. It's been a while to say the least.

I've just found the discs, so if it still works I'll give some more info.

Damn! It doens't work in XP.
Compatibility doesn't work neither...

Any idea's anybody?

Sorry, I wouldn't know about all that technical stuff

I can't really remember the game well enough either, you'd have to describe it better.

What year did this game come out?

It's VERY old.
I'd say at least... 15 years ago.

Yeah, I would figure its going to be hard to run the computer under the modern style of XP and such.

Im not the greatest of technical minds-I learn things with computers and such through trial and error.

*Spoiler*







Well, the cannon is important, but probably not yet. The big thing is getting to Monkey Island. Try repeating the steps of that last crew ... I hear they had a nice dinner before arriving.

Thanx Quark!
Now to get it running again.

Was it just me, or were certain parts of Monkey's Island 1 VERY hard to figure out? I played this years ago, and it was the first game I ever had to go online to find an answer for... I remember being very frustrated at the end of the game.

That game had LOTS of eggs in it, almost too many to count. That, and the Roger Wilco series. Sometimes I really miss those games.

@Rob-hin
Have you tried to run in in windows95/98 mode?
Just rightclick the icon and choose "eigenschappen" (don't know what it is on the english version i think options or something) and then choos compatability!

In the Adventurers Market there are a few paintings from the characters from dungeons & dragons the animated tvseries.

In Icewind Dale **shudder** they often used *charactor portraits* for murals on walls. They must not have had any Elvis graphics avaliable....

@Rob, are you useing NTFS or FAT as your file system? If you are using NTFS, and the game is DOS based, it won't run.

As I recall, there's a secret level in Might & Magic VIII that places you in a dungeon shaped and looking like New World Computing's headquarters.

Lots of nudge-wink names in most games. Betrayal at Krondor, for example, had a tavern in one town named The Green Cat. That was a novel by the great master of fantasy, Fritz Leiber.
