That game you like is shit.

max payne has a GBA port

Well fuck me, it's true

theres a game hidden inside an old microsft software, excell i think

Lolipop Chainsaw was written by James Gunn.

So does Space Channel 5.

I wonder why so many japanese studios are hiring western writers nowadays.

The plot twist of Phantasy Star 3. This one is obscure because it's a mediocre game that most people never bothered finishing.

The series takes place in the Algol system consisting of 3 planets, Dezolith, Motavia, and Palma. In Phantasy Star 2 the rougue AI mother brain crashes a satellite into Palma, completely destroying it but not before a few escape pods managed to get the fuck out of Dodge. The explosion launches them deep into space, never to be seen again. Phantasy Star 3 is some kind of weird ass medieval world with primitive swords and technology but the caves are all mechanical. Every country is totally uniform and round. End of the game, the camera zooms out, further and further. You're a group of descendants of the survivors of palma on these bio dome escape pods, so far in the future no one remembers where they came from.

yes

There is a ZX Spectrum emulator in Goldeneye.

Also in the same game, near the start you're put in prison and you're meant to open some chests and get let out to progress the story. You can sell your starting gear and buy a teleporter before hand and if you warp out of the jail cell you've broken the game.

Instead of preventing you from doing this the developers have an NPC tell you something along the lines of "Well, that was clever but you fucked up the game. Please restart."

Super Mario Bros. 2 wasn't originally a Mario game.

chad warden isnt actually from the philipines, he's mexican or south american

"Cuphead" is actually an anagram for "Dark Souls"

You know, I thought for sure you were going to go over the self fulfilling prophecy ending where the Alisia III gets sucked into a black hole, appears at Earth, gives us the tech to travel space, causing us to eventually travel to Algol and start the Phantasy Star timeline.

Props for keeping the game alive, I thought I was the only one who remembered

In Alien Isolation, the Xenomorph has two AI, one knows exactly where you are at all times, the other controls the actual body, the first sends clues to your whereabouts to the second.

DID YOU KNOW

There was gonna be a soul calibur movie

Things like that are what makes it so special.

Best of both worlds.

In pokemon gen1, if battle animation was disabled, it is reenabled in the champion fight.

Probably translates better to both languages, and western dialogue is more natural. None of that stock phrase "it can't be helped" shit.

Obscure vidya facts? Did you know neogafs owner liked to molest people?

That's the way it is!

If you look under the truck, you can catch a shiny mew

I enjoy how the actual method for catching mew is 10X more interesting.

Picked up.

starfox leg amputation

w-what

I believe the manual even had an explanation

What became Street Fighter 3 was supposed to be a whole new fighting game franchise from Capcom but SF babies pitched a fit that it wasn't a Street Fighter game. So Capcom made it a Street Fighter game and everyone hated it because it didn't play like traditional Street Fighter. That killed fighting games for a decade.

It's because the blood preasure would accumulate at the legs and they wouldn't be able to move or some shit like that

eggman is a feminist

There are textures for a Servbot hidden in the Resident Evil 4 files. I believe it's in a castle texture pack. I haven't confirmed if they texture is used anywhere.
My theory is that they used the texture as filler, since the game doesn't allow for gaps in texture numbering.

sounds about right

The reason the voice actor in Postal 2 didn't do Postal 3 is because he was going through a tough breakup. Also the reason why Running with Scissors didn't even try fixing Postal 3 is because the fuckers who made the game either lost the source code or didn't want to see it get fixed.

In Heroes of the Storm, lorewise the battleground Tomb of the Spider Queen is located under Sky Temple.

Einhander is rated E for everyone, but one of the songs has the word "fucking" in it.

Before they settled on its unique, painted look, the developers of Okami, Clover, originally intended the game to look realistic. You can unlock a concept video of this by finishing the game. It was changed because the PS2's hardware wasn't sophisticated enough.

In metal gear solid 4 there was suppose to be a naked frog soldier in every act you could find by follow a trail of foot prints armor and clues (similar to the tracking section in act 2). When you found her you could take pictures of her like the bb unit.

Mario is a nigger

You could unlock the realistic looking okami, as well as a myriad of others

>sjw's and feminists often turn out to be molesters and abusers

Checks out.

you can triple the ammo you collect per weapon in FEAR 1 by dropping your weapon, take the same weapon dropped by an enemy and then collecting your previously dropped weapon back.
EZ full ammo for sniper rifle / railgun / sound blaster cannon thing etc.

>furfags are the goodguys

...

Sepheroth is named after the points in the Tree of Life/Death.

In fact, I think Cloud is an analogy of the Tree of Life and the development of individuality, and Sephiroth is an analogy for the Tree of Death.

It's just a theory. A game theory.

Holy fuck, thanks for that user.
Will help on my 57th playthrough.

Doom 2's "Countdown to Death" track plays in game on Map3 and map21, so the map numbers form a countdown.

Trump's brother is on the board of directors of Zenimax and will therefore directly profit from people who hate trump buying wolfenstein 2 to spite 'nazis'

sure thing, father

It is impossible to beat arcade turtles in time on a single life, as the game will automatically kill your turtle with an unavoidable bomb if you manage to stay alive for too long

except being a feminist before 2007 really just meant thinking women were equal to men. in fact thats still what it means, its just a few thousand whales on social media have tried to redefine it

>>except being a feminist before 2007 really just meant thinking women were equal to men.
radical feminism branched from 'mainstream feminism' in the 1950s iirc

In the original script of Persona 4, Dojima was the killer.

it still does in most contexts that are not on tumblr/reddit/pol/voat

>Tfw my brother is eggman

There's a secret bossfight in Duke Nukem Manhattan Project called Wozma that was deliberately obscure and only found seven years after release due to the whole thing being a parody of ridiculously hidden JRPG bonus bosses, with the boss itself being a reference to Ozma from Final Fantasy.

how can he not be from the philippines if he's one of the strongest race?

The enemy Scorpia in Might & Magic 3 was named after the pseudonym of a video game journalist who criticised the prequel for being too simple in terms of story and the calling the gameplay boring.

In the Japanese version of Super Mario World you can eat the blue dolphins with a Yoshi. In the North American version you can't

If you manage to stand on the tits of this statue in Heavy Metal FAKK2 you'll get some secret developer credits.

Such a shame would like to have a show

Your character and the recorder item in Talos Principle have a map of André Citroën Park in Paris on them, hinting at one of the locations where Serious Sam 4 will take place.

I understand the Guardian, but how are those 3 machines a reference to EA?

The shapes make the old EA logo

This thing is in pretty much every Volition game since Summoner.

This was the EA logo at the time.

aeris dies

Ah, fuck, it's been so long since I've seen that Logo. Thanks.

Sora's face is pretty funny

There is a golf game hidden on the Switch, and you had to do Iwata's hand gesture under specific circumstances to unlock it.

If you play Spyro 2, take out the disc without resetting it, and then put in Spyro 3, the game will play a bunch of dialog lines from Spyro 3. Depending on what level you're on, you get a different set of voice lines. I only found this out by messing around back when I was a kid.

Great now I have to watch Martix farts again

That would have been way fucking better.

He's also a Rick and Morty fan

It's not that obscure at this point, but Dormin is Nimrod backwards. Nimrod was a Mesopotamian monarch featured in the Book of Genesis, who ordered the construction of the Tower of Babel.

Incidentally, the building Wander departs from to slay each colossus is a ruined tower. Moreover, when god smote the tower, he also "split the tongues", which resulted in the creation of all the world's languages, and so the builders could no longer communicate with eachother. Nimrod himself was reduced to talking nonsensical babble. In the Divine Comedy, Nimrod is described as an anguished dark titan who only utters the unintelligible phrase "Raphèl mai amècche zabì almi".

The Apple II disk release of Karateka has the whole game on the b-side but upside-down.
When consumers would call tech-support, asking why their image is flipped they'd get the smartass answer that they put the disk in with the wrong side up.

Keep this thread alive

sound effects for a console port of a popular PC FPS game were created in a cracked audio software. the best part is, the cracker's name, as a digital signature, can be found in every single audio file.

this was a mistranslation

In Tekken 2's intro, the whole reason why King is stumbling around drunk is because a kid died in his care after he established his orphanage

The first Wing Commander would crash upon exiting the game.
Instead of fixing the issue the programmers simply changed the error message to "Thank you for playing Wing Commander.".

in hitman absolution you can hear a chinese song from kane and lynch 2 in the china level

No, its because the blood would flow down to their legs and stay there which would knock them out due to the high G-forces. Real aircraft pilots (not commercial airliners) suits have strings that restrict blood flow to their legs.

hush, we only want you to talk about things that don't go against our narrative

In fallout 2 if your character is female and named "Buffy" a bartender in the Den will give an smg and say a reference to Buffy the vampire slayer.

In Unirally/Uniracer for SNES if you type in Sega or Sonic as a name the game will tell you that those aren't cool enough.

Don't do this it gives you cancer

That exact scene in T2's opening is kino.

Nintendo actually bought the rights to the Super Hornio porn parodies so they don't get distributed anymore.
