Good old classic arcades. The one place
where we can escape and relax our minds with some good clean fun. Where nothing
strange ever happens whatsoever. Now if that were true you wouldn't be watching
this video now would you? Today, I'm going to show you the top 10 most surprising
easter eggs you didn't know were hidden inside of classic arcade games. Golden
Tee 99. Golden Tee is a rather ordinary relaxing golfing simulator, mostly
popularized by its endless appearances in bars across America. However things
take a quick turn away from relaxing to strange if you were to venture far
enough off course in Golden Tee 99. For instance, there's this guy relieving
himself. There's Bigfoot just standing there. You okay there buddy? And also... wait a second... Holy [bleep] is that a dead corpse? And is that is that blood
coming out of his head? Apparently the majority of Golden Tee games contain
strange Easter eggs like this but this one is by far the most graphic one that
we know of. Let me know if you find any more the next time you hit a ball super
off-course the next time you play Golden Tee at your local bar. Galaga. Here's a cool little trick you
can do for your friends the next time you come across a Galaga machine without
having to drop down a single quarter. During the game's
insert coin demonstration mode, if you were to move the joystick at the exact
moment this ship drops this tractor beam.. - It didn't work. OH!
- No you got it!
-Got it!
-You got it. -Are you moving now?
-Yeah, yeah.
-HA! ...you're suddenly able to take control of the
player ship and actually play a free game! Unfortunately this is a rather
quick playthrough until the game displays a system check screen. Well
that's certainly a roundabout way to check system status. GTI Club Rally Cote
D'Azur. Now I really have no explanation for this one.
GTI club's an extremely simple rally car racer from 1996 in which players can
endlessly lap around a single course. It's about as fun as it sounds. But if
you hold a series of elaborate button combinations, you get a rather odd payoff.
Hold change view while loading in coins. Keep this held and then quickly shift
the gear down to the high position and hold it there as well. Then at the same
time add manual automatic to your hold. If you hold these all together all the
way until you're supposed to see the cars on the track, you'll instead see... [bark] ...a bunch of German Shepherds? Yeah I don't
really know what the joke is here. I know somebody has a good answer for this. The
Simpsons. On The Simpsons, if you were to hit this tree on the first stage before
the first boss, you can snag a couple of power-ups. But if you continue to pester
this tree long enough for more power-ups... Huh.. Did you hit it? (both) - OOP!
- OOP! "All gone, beat it!" Haha! [laughter]
We got it! ...Bongo from Matt Groening's original comic
strip Life in Hell, comes out and greets you with this message. Neat! Primal Rage.
In a two-player match if you and another player start kicking one of the
worshipers on the ground between one another, a volleyball minigame commences. This game is weird. NBA Jam. This is a
rather hard egg to do with one person so we had to grab other players in the
arcade to help us out. If you were to hold down every button on this machine
during the matchup screen... nothing happened.
Well unfortunately that's because this was an NBA Jam Tournament Edition,
disguised in an NBA Jam cabinet. You need the original NBA Jam to do this. And if
you were to do it correctly the whole game suddenly transitions into a 3D tank
game, strikingly similar to Atari classic Battlezone. And this isn't the only
cabinet to pull a full on switch to an Atari classic. Mortal Kombat II. In Mortal
Kombat II if you were to win 249 times in a row in a two-player match, the last
match is settled with the dawn of all video games. Jailbreak. Now here's an egg that
requires a lot of effort that I sadly imagine some players actually spent the
energy for back in 1986. If you can save the first three hostages in this chaotic
swarm of 8-bit bullets, you unlock a rapid-fire grenade launcher and if you
shoot it into this window you get a little flash frame with some 8-bit
nudity. The things we used to do before the internet. Area 51. Not only is Area 51
one of my favorite games, along with its sixth generation follow-up, this also remains
to be one of my favorite easter eggs. At the beginning of the game don't shoot
anything, you'll quickly find that you have no problem surviving.
Now instead of shooting the aliens you have to shoot all of your allies instead.
Some of these are tricky. This one took me a few times because she runs fast and
runs across an alien on the screen as well and your not supposed to hit any
aliens and if you do, you got to do it again. If you hit all four teammates,
you're presented with this message. - Bow! Kronn Hunter! Did you see that!? It said Kronn Hunter! [laughter] Now you get to fight as an alien.
- That's awesome!
- Okay, yes! You get to
play the rest of the game in this awesome negative datamosh effect. That's
right, datamosh. Area 51 did it first! So you may have heard of the Tomb Raider
nude code, a rumor that spread through the entire run of the series. "Don't you think you've seen enough?" In fact, the
developer even leaked out a nude code in Tomb Raider 2 but when you triggered it... What a tease, but unbelievably, in an arcade
game that can be played in broad daylight, an actual nude code in
reference to the Tomb Raider nude code actually exists and works. Gauntlet Legends. Now here we are in public trying to do it. Unfortunately, we got it to work,
but this is some sort of reduced version of the full egg. -That's the girl. Is that it? Is that the partial?
-I think that's the partial, yeah. Can you choose it? There is a more nude
version of this Easter egg that I'm going to show you, but when we did it in
public, Valkyrie appeared in her underwear instead of fully nude. -Well, she's like...
- More naked.
- She's more naked, yeah.. Apparently, the latest updated version of
this game has swapped out the nude code with an alternate skimpier outfit. -What's she wearing? Awh... same thing. Well, I
guess we drove six hours for nothing! Just kidding, it was pretty close. The
earliest running version of Gauntlet I could find was version 1.6. On the second
blue player slot, if I enter my name as N-U-D and then the number zero six nine as
my passcode... Wow. Now as you can see this is a much
more provocative model. So on several places on the Internet,
several people point out that if you enter 169 you get an even nuder model.
The code appears to be accepted but I never received another nude model
without the censor bars. Now this is either just the internet just kind of
trolling or there is indeed a more nude model in an earlier version of the game.
You can slightly see on the censored model additional textures underneath so
I sort of believe there may be an earlier version of the Easter Egg out
there. If anyone with enough will knows of a local Gauntlet Legends cabinet near
them, there may just be a special Easter Egg in store if you can bear all the
awkward looks that you may get in public. Hey, if you want to discuss more easter eggs
