10 Video Game Secrets That Unlock FULL Video Games
5. Shenmue - Hang On/Space Harrier/Outrun
In a similar vein to the Project Gotham entry earlier, this isn't necessarily a massive secret compared to the others.
However, if you're steadfast in your quest to avenge Ryo's father, you could miss out on some absolute gems from SEGA's back catalogue in various arcades around the city.
Credit to Shenmue for going the extra mile and actually having the replicated arcade cabinets for them too. Seeing our spiky-haired hero sit into an Outrun unit, or climb atop a replica Hang On bike is a testament to the level of detail that went into the original Shenmue titles.
What also makes this nod great is that in the Shenmue universe, they're not old titles. Set in 1986, Hang On had only been out a year, whilst Outrun came out that year. So for all intents and purposes, these are hot new titles for the kids to get into.
Whilst not so much a secret as hidden in plain sight, it's still a nice reward for those that go off the beaten track in this massive game. Just remember to bring some money with you.
No free rides.
