10 Video Game Easter Eggs That Went Too Far

10. Cheese - Perfect Dark

While navigating your way around Perfect Dark, you might notice a chunk of Swiss cheese hidden in an air vent, above a bookcase, or inside a toilet bowl. The first time you encounter this delicious dairy product, you probably didn't think much of it.

But when you stumble upon a cheese slice during another mission, you start to question its significance. Despite never being referenced in the game or the manual, players convinced themselves they would unlock something incredible if they located every piece of cheese.

However, saying this delectable fromage is well-hidden doesn't do it justice. Rather than being out in the open, the cheese pieces are in places that a regular player would never examine. What's worse is there are some cheeses, like the ones in Area 51 and Deep Sea, that are inaccessible. As such, you need to use the FarSight rifle's X-ray vision to find them.

So, what happens after you find all the cheeses? Absolutely nothing!

Why was the cheese put in Perfect Dark in the first place? Likely because the level editor thought it'd be funny. Unsurprisingly, players who dedicated months to this pointless sidequest didn't see the humorous side.
