Right? It was one of the few games I had at the time so I spent so long in it getting all the skins and then ol Gobby shows up and I was like "This will look funny swinging around as Green" only to be greeted with GOBLIN GLIDEEEEEEEEEER!
Honestly I am low-key kinda hate myself because I didn't even know about this until now, and I had this game which I can't play anymore because it's broken and too scratched to even work and I still have my Playstation 2 that still works but I can't play this game and I'm annoyed because I didn't know I can play as the goblin himself
There was an extra "secret" on Mortal Kombat on Megadrive (Genesis) too, if you enable to "cheat menu" you can flag the shadow to always appear and use first background to arrange it so the pit stage appeared during the endurance 2v1 match. Then if you get a double flawless/fatality/no block you fight reptile AND a weird bugged out version of whoever was second in the endurance match with half their colours palette swapped green and a messed up move set. It was odd.
It wasn't hidden but it wasn't common knowledge either because no one read game modules. Just like no one knew that the bricks you break in the original Mario Brothers tied with Duck Hunt are citizens of the Mushroom Kingdom transformed
@@jasonwethy8360everyone read the manual back then. Had to do something with the game on the drive back, or while killing time after opening presents but before being allowed to play.
Here’s another big one: the secret level in Starcraft. The 2nd-to-last mission in the Brood War expansion pack requires the Zerg to defeat Zeratul’s Protoss forces in less than 30 minutes, which is no easy task in and of itself. But if you do it in under 25 minutes, the game unlocks a Protoss level that shows Zeratul’s departure and a final encounter with Duran, who reveals that his actual mission is to create a Zerg/Protoss hybrid. It also explains why Duran’s otherwise-unexplained absence from the final battle.
I stumbled upon the Snake Eater easter egg in the coolest way. If Snake has a bat in his inventory and calls Para-Medic, he'll let slip that he's scared of vampires and that they give him nightmares. Later in the prison, if you save the game, Para-Medic will talk to Snake about the movie Dracula, which freaks him out. On a hunch, I restarted the game and, lo and behold, the secret nightmare minigame! God bless you, Hideo, you beautiful, crazy man.
Reptile was *widely known* about almost immediately after Mortal Kombat came out. All the gaming magazines were hinting towards him back then, and he was the talk of the school yard. When I rented the game back in 4th grade, my buddies and I tried to unlock the fight against him, and eventually managed to do so.
No... Reptile wasn't almost immediately known about when Mortal Kombat was first released. You need to understand that console versions of Mortal Kombat didn't come out for OVER a year after the arcade version. That first year in the arcade made this one of the most cryptic games at the time. Fatalities were found on accident. Reptile was added until revision 2. So any of us in the arcade who played the game in and out wouldn't so much as ever see a hint of Reptile because he simply didn't exist.
I played and loved Spider man 1 on PS2 and do indeed hate myself for not knowing about the playable Green Goblin, however I also regret getting stuck on the Shocker subway tunnels.

In the second level of the Area 51 mission in Perfect Dark, at the top of the first elevator, go left and you can get a keycard from one of the guards. Don’t kill him! Shoot his gun from his hand and disarm him. This card opens up the door behind him where you can pick up the alien pistol, and view the past level layout through a window! I think the pistol is called the Phoenix, but don’t quote me on that.
The duck hunt "secret" isn't a secret. People just forgot about it because of new consoles and games. If I remember correctly, the case even said two players on it...
@@spoonshue I guess I'm an exception, as I read the manual whenever I got a new game. So yes, I did know about this one. ...Almost never played that way, but still.
The second player controlling the ducks wasn't a big secret that Seth Rogan accidentally discovered. I imagine a lot of people probably found this out like I did, while waiting your turn to play duck hunt at your buddies house.
Rogan was not responsible for discovering the Duck Hunt 2P mode, just popularizing it. My cousin and I even figured that out when we were single digit ages (I'm 30) and never played it any other way again. Seems like it was probably one of those things where the people who knew figured it was common knowledge.
My brother and I figured out the duck hunt secret by accident while renting the game. And I still have my launch copy of Snake Eater so I need to get on that nightmare section. The Mortal Kombat Reptile deal was awesome back in the day. A bunch of us would hang out at the cabinet and discuss the rumors we had heard until we figured out how to access Reptile. Talk about a celebration when we achieved it and the owner was just as invested as we were to the point he unlocked it so we could play for free as long as we bought snacks and drinks. Now those were the days!
10:50 - Oh, so like Turok 1's cheat code called "Pen & Ink Mode"... Which oddly isn't accessible in the remaster for whatever reason alongside a small handful of other old cheats.
The 3rd chapter from Persona 5R. Landing on your feet when you’re thrown in EVERY SINGLE Streets of Rage game. I lost 100s of lives throughout the games not knowing this until about 2011. SOR4 was a blast and I was ready.
It's an engagement trick to get people to comment on videos and increase its place in the algorithm. UA-cam actually recommends it to increase said engagement.
1. You could’ve learned about the duck hunt player control duck if you… Check notes… Read the instruction manual 🙄 2. I figured out you could play as the goblin way back when I got the game which probably would’ve been no later than 2004 Probably more like 2003
I've known the first secret for years. Found out about it when playing with my dad. He was shooting and I started fumbling with the controller when I found out I was controlling the ducks and making my father miss every shot. Damn, was he pissed when he realized it.
How did people not know about controlling the ducks? My friends and I figured it out back in the late 80’s when we first got a Nintendo in the neighborhood and we where all under 10
I suggested the Green Goblin code on the FGS channel that Jules is a part of that they used on their video! Blew my mind when I was younger, such a fun idea!
Reptile code: Hop on one leg while running under the moon while not using shampoo after 4 weeks while having a set score and not dying but only if u see the witch on Wednesdays. 🤦🏿♂️
And It Is Scorpion Not Scorpio Your Thinking About Zodiac Symbols This Is A Mortal Kombat Game If You Did Not Know That At The Start You Should Have Looked It Up Before You Made This Video And I Also Used To Use The GameShark Codes For Both PS1 Spiderman And Its Sequel Spiderman 2 Enter Electro Used Invincibility Unlimited Webbing Unlock All Costumes Unlock Everything On Both

OMG thank god for this video “ number 8 snakes’s nightmare” I thought this was a fever dream I SWEAR I couldn’t even remember what game this happened in up until 5 mins ago all I could remember was I once played a game that for some weird reason turned into a hack n slash game in grayscale OUT OF NOWHERE😂 I should have known it was a video Kojima game
I kinda knew the duck hunt thing when it was released, was playing with my sis when I noticed that whenever I press right the duck would go right somehow. Although that moment was shocking really. Snake's nightmare, I thought it was part of the game and unmissable, the others on the list, I had no idea they existed to this day.
I Remember As A Kid Playing As The Green Goblin As Soon As The Game Originally Came Out Along With The Unlimited Webbing And Invincibility And All Costumes Code Also The Codebreaker Codes
I discovered by accident that Glenn in Chrono Cross has the ability to wield twin swords after getting Dario's sword from his grave on the home world. Imagine my surprise upon discovering neither of those facts are common knowledge.
Oh I knew about the ducks in duck hunt alright. I used to screw with my friends when I was a kid because they didn't. They'd be up there tryna shoot and I'd be back behind them using the controller to make the ducks go crazy. They could never figure out why I was laughing my azz off so hard. Thought I was just laughing at them sucking. Ahh. Good times... I also knew about Green Goblin. Just thought I'd throw that in there lol.
Who remembers down up left left a right down and abacabb, In regards to not knowing about all the secrets in video games in the early '90s my dad worked at a corporation and they had internet and so my friend and I periodically would go to work with my dad and download all the codes and cheats and then print them thank you game revolution

I love the Scorpio catch phrase "Come nearer to me!"
That’s all you remember from that 15 min video? Plus he only said it once, jeez you must be fun at parties smh
@ThaBotmon based on your ability to take a joke, you must be thrilling to hang out with...

It’s an expression btw
@@ThaBotmon it's not, it's a dumb internet "insult", like Karen and the other stpd non "insults" out there
"secret" is used very loosely for the duck hunt thing.... It was in the instruction manual!
I remember playing as Green Goblin. I remember being so shocked when I realized it wasn’t just a skin.
That was crazy awesome, not that there was much to do, but flying around like that was so amazing.

Yeah, this was common knowledge to anyone who ever visited a cheat code site. It's like saying the jetpack in GTA:SA was a secret.
I probably replayed it more as goblin than spidey it was sick

The duck hunt one was common knowledge as a child of the 80s.
Yeah, I thought they mentioned it in the manual, but maybe I'm remembering wrong. But it was certainly known in the time of the NES.
It wasn't hidden but it wasn't common knowledge either because no one read game modules. Just like no one knew that the bricks you break in the original Mario Brothers tied with Duck Hunt are citizens of the Mushroom Kingdom transformed
Only for people who had little brothers. Lol.

Reptile was far from a recent discovery. People knew about it way back when. And Scorpio?
It was literally in magazines of the time 🙄
Reptile was *widely known* about almost immediately after Mortal Kombat came out. All the gaming magazines were hinting towards him back then, and he was the talk of the school yard.

@@hoodoowilliams5187 well, you had a different experience then. He was being talked about in my school yard before the console versions came out.
Mortal Kombat had the best characters: Scorpio, Sun-Hero, Liu Krang, Bano, Billy Butcher, Jake the Dog, and Madam Webb to name but a few.
Good times.
Its Scorpion, not Scorpio.
That was obviously a play on words🤦🏾♂️
He knows his name every one does he was just trying to rhyme it with sub-Zero's name in a poorly executed joke lol
@@TLKTME it came across to me as somebody who doesn't know what they are talking about.

The second player controlling the ducks wasn't a big secret that Seth Rogan accidentally discovered. I imagine a lot of people probably found this out like I did, while waiting your turn to play duck hunt at your buddies house.
One of my favorite "secrets" were the "mirror" tracks in the original Ridge Racer. And being able to swap out my own CDs for music.
5:00 It's "Reeyo", not "Raiyo".
THE BEST WAY TO PLAY THE SPIDER-MAN MOVIE GAME IS AS MARY JANE WATSON. IT'S THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN RESCUE AND MAKE OUT WITH YOURSELF IN THE ENDING.
Scorpio was always my favorite, my brother always played Sub-Nero when we played tho

Scorpio is the best character
I knew about the Duck Hunt thing back in 1986. Also discovered by accident, but yes, I knew you could control the duck with the second controller.
Line mode was the first thing I thought of. Now I have a hankering to play it on Switch Goldeneye
Ryo is pronounced Ree-oh.
Duck Hunt, Mortal Kombat, Super Punch Out and Goldeneye were known to me and my friends back in the day... Gaming magazines... We bought tons of them.
Scorpio ♏ is my favorite character
11:54 Hank Scorpio?
Playing as green goblin takes me back,I'm glad i use to buy magazines and strategic gaming books. I think that's how i knew you could do this
When did it become the norm to say “Nes” over “N.E.S.”?
I grew up in that era and we just called it "the Nintendo." And its successor was "the Super Nintendo."
10:50 - Oh, so like Turok 1's cheat code called "Pen & Ink Mode"... Which oddly isn't accessible in the remaster for whatever reason alongside a small handful of other old cheats.

I dont know what's more upsetting, him calling Scorpion Scorpio or the editor of the video saying "no problems here"
Either he's never played Mortal Kombat or he's an AI who read a typo out loud

Ah What If mode, still hands down one of the best alternate modes of any game.
Controlling the duck in Duck Hunt was definitely not unknown for too long. It was detailed in the instruction book.
Nice to see Ewan doing some list again, a welcomed change up~
Also, Scorpio?? really?? Next MK characters will be Virgo & Capricorn then~~ 🤣
I figured out the duck thing 15 minutes after playing the game for the first time
Scorpio .... starting to think these ain't og gamers
If you placed the Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds disc into a DVD player, Star Wars music would start playing.
MvC2 for Dreamcast did this as well. I WANNA TAKE YOU FOR A RIIIIIDE 🎵

Sorry you found out about that green goblin one so late lol I found out that same year or so
I had a cheat book in 2002 with the green goblin code it was awesome!!

I've known about number 10 every since the '80s and had no idea it was a secret😂
I knew about being able to be green goblin. Because someone I used to be friends with.
Had the game and he beat it on all difficulties and showed me.
Good ole Scorpio.
Making a 2 player mode hidden is an odd choice

I prefered to play as Green Goblin when I was a kid. You actually play as Harry in a sequel story that makes sense between 2 and 3.
Never knew about line mode in Goldeneye (not sure why anyone would want that) or the ps1 spiderman what if mode.
Wait is ewan new?
Nope
I Remember As A Kid Playing As The Green Goblin As Soon As The Game Originally Came Out Along With The Unlimited Webbing And Invincibility And All Costumes Code Also The Codebreaker Codes
In final fantasy tactics advance there's actually a way to get op skill like steal weapon and steal ability around the beginning of the game
Spider-man 3 game let you play as Harry Ozbourne green goblin character with a slighly different story.
I discovered by accident that Glenn in Chrono Cross has the ability to wield twin swords after getting Dario's sword from his grave on the home world. Imagine my surprise upon discovering neither of those facts are common knowledge.
One of my favourites is in smash court tennis pro tournament 2 on the ps2 you can play as heihachi Mishima from the tekken games
Lol, I knew about the "what if" mode from the PS1 Spider-Man game. It was hilarious to say the least.
I already knew about the Spider-Man discoveries for both the PS1 and PS2 games thanks to cheat codes
Your goblin is on point
We have known about the duck from duck hunt for 40 years.
Forget Reptile, how do I unlock Scorpio?????
I think I remember reading that the Duck Hunt “secret” was in the game manual.
Reptile was well known and I was a wee lad when it came out..
I would also add mirror match mode from Street Fighter 2 vanilla on SNES. Idk if it worked on any other console.
Oh I knew about the ducks in duck hunt alright. I used to screw with my friends when I was a kid because they didn't.
