Hidden subgames

Galaxy · 24 October 2004, 13:09

Looking through some of my old magazines, I came across an article (in Amiga Power 13) on hidden features of games.

Some of these have also been mentioned in a previous thread:
http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=1947

Bomber (Judge Dredd)
Chrome (Switchblade 2)
Dux (Lotus Turbo Challenge 2)
P.O.D. (Lotus 3)
Pong (Alien Breed)
Rox (Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge)

Also something rumoured in Space Ace II

Does anyone know of any other hidden games?

A well hidden game to be found somewhere in Space Ace 2 - well, that pretty much describes the situation about all the ReadySoft laserdisk conversions

In Mean Streets you could play Pong and Breakout... i have only played the Atari ST version but i think it's the same for Amiga.

Ironclaw · 24 October 2004, 20:36

you can play space amoeba or what ever it's called in the arcades in Universe.

The best subgame was in SWITSHBLADE II.
CHROME was a seperate game.

Astro Chicken in space quest III (or was it SQ IV?

)

The Killing Cloud has a hidden subgame called "Astra Attack". I dont know if you can access it from within the game, but its on the disk. The game disk is in MS-DOS 720k format so it can be mounted on WB and Astra Attack run from there. I think

Venus - The Flytrap had a hidden subgame,too.However I forgot how to access it

And don't forget playing Space Invaders in the Arcades of Wheelworld in Universe.

Maybe this thread might possibly be merged with the Easter Eggs thread given the similiar territory?
Anyway,though not a hidden game, recall that Op Thunderbolt on the Amiga had a hidden crazy difficulty level-if you entered "Speccy Mode" on the high score table you would get mass attacks ala the speccy game. Usually had to reset to turn it off as your chances of getting a high score again to switch it off were remote!
And well recall the aformentioned game within Lotus 1-it was the cheat mode given in Zzap!(?I think),at the time, & in the absence of any other cheats couldn't skip/advance through the game,but was stuck with that annoying repetitive shootemup!

A CU Amiga coverdisk sported both those mini games as standalone executables.. I think I still have that disk somewhere.

Although the game it'self was rubbish you could have a go at defender in gloom to earn an extra life.Not sure whether this was classed as hidden though?.

Na dyskietce ukryta była też inna maleńka gierka. Naciskając któryś z klawiszy myszy podczas bootowania dysku, wgrywała się właśnie ona.

There was hidden mini game on disc. Press right or left mouse button while booting.

I remember it!

Are there any hidden sub games that involve submarines

I would be amused by this situation.

Predseda · 29 January 2013, 21:27

Slamtilt has a lot of subgames, that are not exactly hidden, but you must activate them.

Also subgames in Basejumpers and Viz n Liz.

DDNI · 29 January 2013, 23:22

Wasn't there a version of defender in Gloom?

demolition · 30 January 2013, 00:19

It's not exactly hidden, but you could play Maniac Mansion in Day Of The Tentacle.
