10 Awesome Details You Missed In Iconic Video Games

6. Roach Race Champion - Cyberpunk 2077

Cyberpunk 2077 is another game that’s positively littered with easter eggs, references, and various homages. In fact the only thing that outnumbers all the lovely little details is the still rampant bugs but Night City is a delight to explore and get lost in all the same. It certainly didn’t get off to a great start but the futuristic playground is well and truly worth your time now that the game breaking bugs are down to an absolute minimum, there’s loads to love in here and plenty of that classic CD Projekt Red magic. While we’re spoiled for choice when it comes to selecting just one awesome detail from this one we’ve gone with the high score board for the Roach Run minigame.

This minigame can be encountered and played at various arcade machines throughout Night City and, of course, reference The Witcher protagonist Geralt’s faithful steed Roach.

While that’s a cute touch, it’s the entry at the top of the high score leaderboard we’re interested in for this particular entry. You might remember Ciri telling Geralt in The Witcher 3 that she visited a world where people had metal in their heads, waged war from a distance using things similar to megascopes and everyone had their own flying ship. Geralt dismisses her story but a peak at the Roach Run leaderboard proves not only was she there, she’s apparently really great at this arcade game. The very top entry is Z1R343L or “Zireal” in leet speak, the Elder Speech origin of Ciri’s name.
