Grand Theft Auto: 10 Coolest Easter Eggs, Secrets & References Explained

10. The Box Art Features Trump Tower & A Secret Cheat Code

The first set of Easter eggs appear not in the game itself but actually its cover art. For starters, GTA's European box art simply features the game's logo splashed over a seemingly nondescript skyscraper - it's nothing fancy, but effective enough.

More keen-eyed players might've noticed, however, that this is in fact a picture of New York City's Trump Tower.

Amusingly, Rockstar eventually decided to include the building in the series proper, by creating the Trump Tower knock-off Cleethorpes Tower for GTA IV.

Meanwhile, the box art for GTA's PC release in North America (pictured below) touted an altogether sneakier secret: the license plate of the car reads the number "6031769," which can be entered as a cheat to unlock infinite lives.

Better still, the number itself is a reference to the classic ZX Spectrum platformer Manic Miner, where the same number string unlocks a level select cheat.
