What does an old arcade machine have in common with a 2022 action game set in the bleakest city in the DCU?

Well, both of them allow you to play Spy Hunter.

Spy Hunter is an old arcade title developed by Midway back in the early 80s. The game had you control an armed sports car speeding through a freeway and taking down dangerous criminals.

The same exact version of Spy Hunter can be played in the 2022 action RPG, Gotham Knights. The game lets you know of this easter egg via a quick loading screen hint, which is why it’s quite easy to miss, but this said, turning on your very own Gotham copy of Spy Hunter is as easy as interacting with the arcade machine in the upstairs area of the Belfry.

The game works exactly as its real-life counterpart, with the added bonus of the leaderboard being filled up with the high scores of your favorite DC characters, such as Alfred Pennyworth and, of course, Bruce Wayne.

If you ever wanted to check if you’re better at video games than the world’s greatest detective, this easter egg is your ticket to realizing this weirdly specific dream.
