Hmm someone here is named ninja chicken. Wasn't there a "Ninja chicken" secret in Serious Sam 2?

if there was something like that, i didin't know, trust me :S

Missingno./M

I remember finding the star road in Super Mario World for the first time.

It was AWESOME!

I know its more of a glitch than a secert, but the Gigaluff always made me laugh in SSBB.

As for secrets, every little thing in MGS4, like following Sunny upstairs to see the PS3 and PSP being unpacked, the conversation where Otacon tells Snake he's "the shit", Hideo1, etc.

I'm amazed no one says anything about Duke Nukem. Blowing a hole in the movie screen, or finding the apartment windows with a jetpack were really nice secrets long ago.

Ah Star road. I remember seeing that for the first time and going "Wow what is this place O.O"

I liked picking up the weapons locker keycard in Parasite Eve 2 - not so much of a secret I guess but it annoyed the hell out of the co-worker who told me about the game as it's right in the beginning when you're at the hotel (outside in the balcony garden) and can't be used until towards the end when you're in the secret facility - loaded up with weapons and ammo - schweet because he was so stuck for ammo and guns at that point he re-started the entire game to pick it up :D

the scarab gun in halo 2 was neat, as was the microwave in half life, but the one that really sticks for me is in max payne 2, if you jump on the outskitrting cement shelf on the apartment level on a balcony you can run around the outside and into this room which is a shrine for someone who died during development, now that was a weird one.

Yep I found it again! I found the "Secret dead bunny killed by the secret ninja chicken(tm) has been found!" secret. As well as the secret ninja, though I think they goofed cause it looks like a Samurai chicken.

Suicide Troll in Oblivion.
I laughed so hard after I just randomly stumbled upon it

The place in the Half-Life 2 Episode 2 caves where you can only get at it with noclip & a message pops up saying "How did you get back here?"

The most memorable one I can think of was in How To Be A Complete Bastard.

On you quest to ruin a party & be a complete bastard to everyone you come across a computer in the hallway. One of your options is to switch the computer off/unplug it, but if you do it resets your computer, and in the case of the Spectrum I played it on, meant having to load & start the game again.

Not the most rewarding secret, but still great nonetheless, mainly due to it's innovation.

I also fondly remember all the funny secrets & jokes on Summer Games on the Amiga. Most of them involved failing your attempt at an event, but were funny.

Shooting the ground in Archery would make a mole appear & say "Hey man I don't dig that!"(?)
Firing an arrow into the trees in the background during archery would result in a scream.
Messing up during the hammer throw would result in a smashed screen or your compeitor being launched out of the circle with the hammer you didn't let go of.
Waiting in the pool after a diving attemt would trigger a sharks fin to appear & Jaws music to play.

On the menu screen in North & South, clicking the pointer on the photographer's arse would make him giggle & move.

IK+ had lot's of little secrets too, such as pressing T to make the fighter's trousers fall down, typing swear words & being reprimanded, pac-man & periscopes moving through the background...

I don't know, but in the old days of games, little secrets like these seemed more novel & better thought out, more subtle. Now it seem obligatory for games to have easter eggs, no matter how meaningless & taped on they are.

The only recent "easter egg" that stick out on my mind, is the secret "Volition offices" level in Summoner, where you were warped to the real world & could chat with Volition staff.

I always liked some of the Easter Eggs in WoW, like the Aeroplane in Nagrand which is covered in snakes and the flavour text in the old UBRS Rend Blackhand fight. "No, you fools! Kill the one in the dress!" Heh, I Lol'd.

Oh, and special mention for Super Mario 3 where if you held down on a white block you'd drop through the block and land behind the scenery where you could find all manner of secret crap and a whistle that let you skip levels. Class :)

Chrono Cross for the PSOne! Loaded with choices, characters, events, everything that you just can't experience all of your first time around. Plus the soundtrack was really good.. But that's not a secret.

Jet Set Radio Future, getting all the hidden tapes.

Under the bridge, near the Mouth of the Panther.

sticking with Oblivion: GIANT ENEMY CRAB.

Failing that, the inescapable room of Yaoi in DYS_Broadcast is pretty fun.

The hidden room in Link to the Past. You know, the one where you have to spawn from a specific point then DASH all the way across the world to the castle and dodge every enemy for a room filled with rupees and an easter egg from the luckiest fan ever

Going inside the statue of liberty in gta4 and finding a living beating heart

Going inside the statue of liberty in gta4 and finding a living beating heart

Am I the only one with the forethought (and maybe insanity) to think that's a tribute to the foreigners in this country?

Mine is saving the Etecoons and the Dachora at the end of Super Metroid. Seeing their ship escape the exploding planet always manages to warm my heart.

In either Ratchet and Clank 1 or 2 (1 i think) on Blackwater City, there is an alien girl who lets you go to the Hoverboard race. When you are in front of her, shelooks at you. When she is looking at you, do back flips and front flips. Continue doing them, and after a while, her boobs will grow bigger Continue doing acrobatics and her boobs will get bigger and bigger. To reverse the effect, crouch under them.

I found out that while I'm in a Codec conversation with Rose in MGS4, if I waggle the SixaxiS around her boobs jiggle...

i like the tsuchinoko secret i Metal gear solid 3
its a secret legendary creature you catch with the mouse trap!

I like the one in MGS4 where if you get Drebin's mask and then put on the suit with drebins mask...some of the rebels give you their weapons and stuff. Also if you have a camera and your battling against beauties...you just don't fight when their armour is off while playing some japanese pop music on the ipod and you get to take photos of them doing poses.

Finally finding a warp pipe, beanstalk, or star in Super Mario Bros.

Lvl 64 Klutz:
The Ice Key in the Banjo Kazooie games, hurray for cross-series secrets.

I second that, the game was full of rad secrets and it's probably some of the reason i whip out that cartridge every now and then and play it!

Hmm oh how about the lazy shell in Super Mario RPG? right next to the worst secret in the game lol

Level 0 in Toe Jam and Earl where you had to head to an island SW of the center island in level 1 using an inner tube, ikuris Wings, or if you were really daring, the rocket skates.

Russia208:
Finding the heart of new york in GTA4, its an actual BEATING HEART!!!

Where is such a thing?

Any game that lets you flush toilets. Most of the time when I walk up to toilets in-game they do nothing. But sometimes it flushs, which makes me feel all good inside.

(That wasn't weird at all)
