The Best Game Scenes You Might Have Missed
By Jeffrey | April 18, 2007
I’ve gone through a bit of nostalgic gaming recently.
I dug out an old Playstation, hooked up my N64, and tracked down some old computer games I used to play all the time.
Playing them made me realize that they may not be any better games than what we have now, but I definitely see them that way because they were what I grew up playing.
So, in the spirit of some of those old games, here are some game scenes you may have missed when you played through.
The rule I followed is that the scene must be in the game and accessible by anyone - no cheats, no hacks, etc.
Final Fantasy VII - Date With Barret
Everybody who knows anything about this game knows about the possibility of having a date with Barret at the gold saucer.
From my experience, though, most people never played through the game to activate it because doing so required being a jerk to both Aeris and Tifa.
For those of you that played and loved this game, you realized how impossible that was, from an emotional standpoint - it was easy to get caught up in the story.
In any case, if you missed it, here it is in all its glory:
Final Fantasy VI - Shadow’s Dreams
Although not quite up to the level of FF7, Final Fantasy VI was still an amazing game. And like FF7, it had its share of rumors and supposed game secrets.
Before Aeris there was the famous Resurrecting Leo rumor, not to mention countless other rumors. (Point for you if you actually fought 4000 dragons, or flew around a tree 1000 times, etc.)
Among these rumors were Shadow’s Dreams. Only 5 have ever been verified as existing, but many people still insist there are seven.
Here are the 5 that I’ve seen:
Halo - Hidden Grunt
The last level of Halo will forever go down as one of the greatest game experiences ever.
Whether you love or hate Halo you have to admit that the rush of racing against the clock in the last run to the ship was a brilliant moment in the game.
In that mad rush to the finish, though, you might have missed one of the more humorous parts of the level: the hidden grunt.
“Food nippleâ€Â, indeed.
Ocarina of Time - Mario, Bowser, and Peach
This was a common thing to pass around when this game came out, so there is a very good chance that you may have seen this.
But in case you missed it, there are hidden images of Mario, Bowser, and Peach in the castle.
This clip was the best I could find, I apologize for the horrible filming:
Diablo - Demonic Health Tips?
When you enter Level 16 to fight Diablo himself he grumbles some weird gibberish.
What most players missed, though, is that when you play that sound file backwards Diablo attempts to inspire your eating habits by saying, “Eat your vegetables and brush after every meal.â€Â
I finally managed to track down the actual sound file from the game and reverse it.

Any More?
Are there any other scenes I may have missed that you think should be included?
