The best part of the Cow Level is that they went around recording other Blizzard employees to say moo without telling them why and that's the voices of the cows in the level.
The original way you had to go about unlocking the bow in battlefield 4 will be an all time favorite Easter egg for me. I still remember when the community found the vault but still didn't know how to open the door
Wife had a seizure last night so we both took off work to go to a doc appointment for her, glad you guys always post stuff. Honestly brightens up my day/mood hearing yalls voices. You guys are always there. I know it’s just games..maybe not that serious..but I still appreciate it. Love y’all
I remember how excited i was when a magazine told me there was a spyro demo hidden on my crash bandicoot disc and it turned out to be true! My mind was blown.
I’ll never forget my entire family speculating about Stop N’ Swap for hours. We didn’t have a computer for many many years so we didn’t discover the intention behind it until I was a teenager. Crazy stuff.
Played motocross madness a fair bit as a kid, and whenever I had a bad day I’d just hop on and launch my guy into oblivion. Thanks for bringing back some good old memories! Another favourite myth of an Easter egg I liked was that Bigfoot was in San Andreas but I never actually got to see it lol
My thought is that it's more just lack of information. These days, you can take 2 seconds to Google something, but back then printed media was pretty much all we had.
Yup, back when you only hand a small handful of games, even if some of them weren't amazing, you played the shit out of them. Now with stuff like Xbox Gamepass and Steam games costing almost nothing on sale, everyone's game library is hundreds
@@SpongeBob.Rippedit's funny because when I was young and started out playing, first on a Spectrum then an Amiga, games were so easy to copy that we handed about loads at school or between friends. A game had to stick to get you to keep at it. Then as technology advanced suddenly that wasn't the case and you had to rinse the fun out of a game because you couldn't afford loads. Now it's more like when I grew up, although being an adult now I try to not dump a game half way.
While the All Bonds cheat was really cool, I'd argue the secret island on the Dam level was even more legendary. I remember people obsessing trying to get over to that section of the map, until a GameShark code finally made it happen. Unfortunately, there was nothing there except a tower and a gun turret, but it was still cool to see.
I spent hours on motorcross madness when I was a kid. And yes, that Easter egg was absolutely a random discovery for a 7 year old. I would do it 10-15 times before finally getting out if the game. It was really amazing
The MegaMan Battle Network Series has some great easter eggs. Really not until being an adult and the legacy collection, Bass is the one of the most popular, notable, and timeless characters from the OG Megaman to Battle Network, but pretty much all notable characters existed before in the OG series.
Homefront The Revolution is criminally underrated and over-hated for no real reason other than the internet saying it's bad. The on-the-fly-weapon customization and conversion is absolutely bonkers in the best way imaginable. Want a 3-burst grenade launcher with a 16x scope? Why the hell not
@@thedarkemissary I did, my point still stands. People just like riding the hatewagon because they think it makes them look cool. I’m not going to pretend like it didn’t have problems but it proves how moronic and sheepish the gaming community can be
@@bronzin1445 No. Your point is that the game is 'over-hated." And while you might have been okay paying $60 for a 3 hour FPS campaign with no competitve multiplayer, the rest of the gaming world was not. Not during the great FPS Renaissance. Wildly open weapon customization didn't save Dead Space 3 either. Plenty of crap games contain a neat mechanic or two. "Underrated" and "Over-hated" are subjective concepts. Therefore, there can't be "real reasons" for either.
everything is for profit, profit, profit these days. Devs have no time to add things for the fun of it because they have to add their latest battle pass and day 1 patch for the broken game
Jake, you just singlehandedly awoke a core memory from my childhood with that Motocross Madness easter egg! I forgot how much I used to enjoy doing that when I was like 5!
You know what would be better than having Timesplitters inside another game as an Easter egg. Another Timesplitters. Embracer, you killer of all things good
I’d like to point out that the reason people fell for those fake tips and tricks in the 90s/early 2000s was because back then kids weren’t chronically online and didn’t have access to reliable information about video games as much as we do today so people just assumed that anything was possible because it was also that case that a lot of people back then were new to video games so people were way easier to trick compared to today where your seen as uncultured or an idiot If you don’t know certain things about video games because literally billions of people are now veteran gamers
I’m always surprised how many Easter Eggs and hidden stuff Hearthstone has. I don’t think I’ve seen any channel mention it before but it’s pretty wild lol
Everybody knew about the secret cow level in diablo 2 though, since most copies were sold with the bradygames strategy guide included which straight up told you about it...
OMG! I played Motocross Madness at a friends house a few times as a kid and TOTALLY forgot about it until this video. Driving into the invisible wall that launched you sky high was hilarious!
My favourite easter egg in san andreas will always be the sign at the top of the Golden gate bridge that simply says There are no easter eggs up here, go away!
The Escape from Tarkov ARG is also quite cool, including going to a website and login to several accounts found in short movies and going to real places from several countries to collect the intel IRL to solve the mystery
The easter egg in number 9 would also happen in ATV off road fury. After a bit of google searching both of those games were developed by Rainbow Studios. ATV off road fury was the only demo we had with our original PS2. We played the shit out of it back in the day. When I saw the invisible wall throw I was hit with big nostalgia.
Nintendo may have told rare to not use that stop and swap mechanic, but it was still built in to something because speedrunners have used it for something and I just can't remember exactly what it was
The fact there is a full 4k remaster of Timesplitters 2 THAT EXISTS, but isn’t just available to buy on its own without it being an easter egg is criminal. I would buy it so fast. I would buy all my friends copies. Can we start a petition or something to release the game in full, not as an easter egg???
Thank you for actually telling me the name of the motocross game! I reminded that game clearly from when I was a kid, but I completely forgot its name. Brings a bit of tears. 😢
I remember in Banjo Kazooie you could use an Action Replay to fly over the top of the wall to get to the Ice Key...but defo couldn't do anything for the others
but there was none of it in the beginning right? the community brought it up and the dev had to put it inside the game just to satisfy the community imo
number 5 is what I assumed is what the names floating in the clouds of mortal kombat are partially about like people have partially unlocked something that needs another step to complete to play some recombined code for a hidden level or crypt.
about the cow lvl: back in Diablo 1, there was a cow in Tristram. It was clickable, and it had a 'moo' sound when clicked. Since there is so few interactive NPCs in D1, that sparked a rumor there was a "secret cow level" which you could achieve by clicking the cow 50+ times or whatever. That's where the rumor started, and when D2 came out the rumor persisted.
In regards to the dirt bike game. There was a jet ski game (either N64 or GC) with a similar system. If you went far off the track, you go scooped up by a giant tentacle and launched back on the track.
I love that the code for the naboo Starfighter is Yngwie for guitarist Yngwie Malmsteen. Kid me always thought it was just a collection of letters and not a reference to who is later learn is one of the guitar greats.
I was waiting the most clever easter egg of all time. Original 3 Baldurs Gate games (1,2&TOB) had golden, silver and bronze underwear that had game breaking effect, if combined in very spesific way.
My favourite Easter Egg thing in gaming has to be the Secret colossus in Shadow Of The Colossus. Even though it never turned into fruition, that was a legendary hunt that lasted a long time.
I remember towards the end of the N64's life cycle a gaming magazine published an actual paper back book of cheats you could buy with the magazine collecting every single cheat they ever published. In it was how to unlock literally everything in GoldenEye. The 4 bond skins included. My brother and I got all the cheats and it breathed years of new life in to that game. God I miss those days when games were games.
The best part of the Cow Level is that they went around recording other Blizzard employees to say moo without telling them why and that's the voices of the cows in the level.
You can totally hear that lol not all moo's are equal
7:09 is for sure human lol
"There is no Cow Level" has the same energy as "There is no war in Ba Sing Se"
Jokes on you. "There is no cow level" inspired "there is no war in ba sing se"
It also has the same engergy of thereisnospoon in warcraft 3
How?
The original way you had to go about unlocking the bow in battlefield 4 will be an all time favorite Easter egg for me. I still remember when the community found the vault but still didn't know how to open the door
Gotta love the deadpan "moo"s for the voice acting in the cow level.😂

Prayer to you and yours, my friends 🙏🏻
Hope she's okay mate. Good luck to you
May God take care of you and your wife
Best of luck to you both, hope she's doing alright.
I hope they got yall the answers and help yall need
Imagine being sent on a wild treasure chase just to be told "And the treasure is... for your grandchildren to enjoy. You'll probably be dead by then."
Running into the invisible wall in Motocross Madness is all I ever did in that game. It was so much fun just to do it over and over again.
Motocross madness sure brings good memories
used to play it on my cousin's pc
Always tried to climb those mountains only to get blasted
never finished a race
Motor cross madness was second game I ever played, Midtown Madness 2 is first
I used my neighbors CD to install it on computer cause that was just normal back then, one CD unlimited installs.
Good times
One of the first PC games I ever played, this video unlocked a whole memory
Yes me to but it definitely was no easter egg is was just how the developers kept players in bounds of the map
I remember how excited i was when a magazine told me there was a spyro demo hidden on my crash bandicoot disc and it turned out to be true! My mind was blown.
That’s crazy…without this comment I likely never would have thought about that again but I too distinctly remember that demo!
The Naboo fighter was broken. What an incredible Easter egg. I remember that reveal was the only topic of conversation on the playground
I’ll never forget my entire family speculating about Stop N’ Swap for hours. We didn’t have a computer for many many years so we didn’t discover the intention behind it until I was a teenager. Crazy stuff.

Can confirm. We were really stupid in the 90’s.
no just more creative
My thought is that it's more just lack of information. These days, you can take 2 seconds to Google something, but back then printed media was pretty much all we had.
Can confirm.
Speak for yourself
Eh...we weren't dumb, we just got smarter slower back then. The rise of the internet sped that process up.
back in a day you play same games 100 times
Yup, back when you only hand a small handful of games, even if some of them weren't amazing, you played the shit out of them. Now with stuff like Xbox Gamepass and Steam games costing almost nothing on sale, everyone's game library is hundreds
Game's also valued replayability. There's a reason why people STILL play Deus Ex (2000)
I guess you've never heard of Skyrim. People still do that.
I remember playing the god of war games as a little kid with my father amazing times 😂

I literally just bought homefront not to long ago and have actually been enjoying the game and had no idea about the time splitters thing until now
I bought it just for TS2.
Imma install and try to play it soon.
Factor 5 created rogue squadron. Level 5 are the ones that made the Layton games.

Oh boy, that sentence just brought me back to the magic of childhood imagination and what if's. Thanks for that.
I''ve looked for clips from motorcross madness for years, only played it when I was about 4/5. Thank you for ending my long quest!

Easter eggs arnt made like they used to
Oh, but they are. Some are even more epic.
Easter eggs come from passion, games aren’t commonly made with much of that anymore

I thought they came from bunnies?

Love seeing these just in time before sleeping!
These guys' upload schedule is insanely good 👍. Always looking forward to your videos 😁

Motocross Madness, wow what a pull! My parents lectured me for laughing so hard every time I hit the map limit in the demo. Good times!
My first game on the ps2 was ATV Offroad Fury and it did the same invisible wall trick, always was a good time.
MX Unleashed on the PS2 did it as well. That's where I first did it. I completely forgot about ATV Offroad Fury, that game was awesome
OMG! I played Motocross Madness at a friends house a few times as a kid and TOTALLY forgot about it until this video. Driving into the invisible wall that launched you sky high was hilarious!
Haven't played the series for a bit but CoD Zombies started as an easter egg in WaW, def would say that grew to legendary status
I am not smart enough to find secrets in games but this is cool! I bet all the jrpgs have ton of Easter eggs I bet 😅
Love your videos!
Thank you!
@@gameranxTVwhat’s the thumbnail from
@@jacobmillenbach2561homefront
Motocross Madness, wow that takes me back. I indeed played that for hours and loved that crazy mechanic. Thanks for the memories, Jake.
I’m so happy the Trials easter egg got a mention because seriously I think about it nearly every day.
My favourite easter egg in san andreas will always be the sign at the top of the Golden gate bridge that simply says
There are no easter eggs up here, go away!
Here before it blows up
Same
"Blows up" haha cute
& I'm still waiting for a video to hit the same number of views as they have subbs
So you don't work

😮 Motocross Madness Easter egg unlocked a core memory.
17:05 core memory unlocked 😂 I was one of those kids running through the woods with super jump on CJ to find the Sasquatch
Hey jake, good to see you. I honestly only watch this channel when its you. Ur just the bro
Man, what a well-made video loved this one
Good video gameranx keep it up luv ur videos❤
Rockstar didn't even know they have Bigfoot and Lochness in GTA San Andreas.
but there was none of it in the beginning right? the community brought it up and the dev had to put it inside the game just to satisfy the community imo
Dying Light the best easter eggs in any game ever 👌🏻
Jake, how you gonna rub salt in that old wound? 😂 Banjo Three-ie Ya bastard.
Okg rogue squadron was one of the dopest games back in the day and I remember that Naboo fighter.. omfg..
number 5 is what I assumed is what the names floating in the clouds of mortal kombat are partially about like people have partially unlocked something that needs another step to complete to play some recombined code for a hidden level or crypt.
this is a legendary video ❤
Big fan since 2019 thanks guys
I like how they made a very elaborate puzzle only to reveal that the people who solved it will be dead whenever the easter egg is concluded
I rememer motorcross madness and monstertruck madness, very well. I used to play them all the time
Rip Banjo Threeie 😢
Love you guys thanks for the amazing videos everyday

Yeah- me. Right now.
AM HERE TO thanks gameranx for the effort for making this videos.
Me: This list had *better* have the secret cow level in it.
List: 19:35
Me: Well done. Carry on.
I'd include the granddaddy of all video game Easter Eggs - Adventure on the Atari 2600.
i got sudden urge to rewatch Ready Player One for some reason upon reading this comment :D
Omg, I remember when I played Motocross madness, in the 2000 i think it was (born in the 90s) and that game, wow. Speechless.
I just love easter eggs. especially when it's gmae devs who snug in cool secret tributes to their favorite games
And I just added Homefront the Revolution to my shopping cart, just to play time splitters 2
Motocross madness was an absolutely amazing game when I was a kid lol
I fully believe that Motorcross Madness was the origin of the word yeet.
Jeremy Clarkson saying yeet in 1998 has entered the chat
In regards to the dirt bike game. There was a jet ski game (either N64 or GC) with a similar system. If you went far off the track, you go scooped up by a giant tentacle and launched back on the track.
Hey Jake👋🏽
Hey
That Naboo Starfighter absolutely blew the minds of my brother and I
I love that the code for the naboo Starfighter is Yngwie for guitarist Yngwie Malmsteen. Kid me always thought it was just a collection of letters and not a reference to who is later learn is one of the guitar greats.
Fun fact: within the first 20 minutes, the time it took me to watch the video 5.5 k people opened the video ❤
that trials easter egg will reveal that a couple of people on the dev team were serial killers who worked together
JAKEEEE from Gameranx! 🎵 Like a good neighbor, Gameranx is there 🎵
Wirt's leg + a town portal tome, you savage.
I always get impressed by communities that figure crazy stuff out. I always wonder how they did it.
I used to play motocross madness on my dad’s NetRam computer that ran windows 95.
Holy cow I feel old right about now.

#10 We NEED a Timesplitters Reboot!!!
I love TimeSplitters 2 and own revolution on STEAMDECK and didn't know about that Easter egg 😅😅😅
Drinking game: take a shot everytime Jake says "lEgEnDaRy."
I started the San Andreas Bigfoot rumor. You're welcome.
Awwee yeah new gameranx video
Borderlands 2 creeper is best easter egg of all time. Even drops a really great legendary sniper
Perfect timing for a new vid

I remember towards the end of the N64's life cycle a gaming magazine published an actual paper back book of cheats you could buy with the magazine collecting every single cheat they ever published.
