10 Iconic Video Games With Hidden Messages You Totally Missed

7. No Easter Eggs - Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

Rockstar absolutely love to pack silly easter eggs and in-jokes into their games, and make fun of fans for seeking them out. GTA III had lots of little secrets to uncover, such as the hidden alley that players can access with a little creatively, which has a sign reading “You weren’t supposed to be able to get here you know.”

San Andreas has plenty of gags like this too. There was even a famous rumour that Bigfoot himself could be found, which lead many players to obsessively hunt for him, only for the developers to sadistically confirm years later he was never in the game.

They managed to top the GTA III gag with the Gant Bridge message, which requires a jetpack for the player to reach. If you fly all the way to the top, you are rewarded with the sign “There are no easter eggs here. Go away.”

Charming.
