Hidden Games in Other Games


Recommended Posts

In Skyfox for the Apple II, if you press Ctrl-G after you select your level a Space Invaders game will load up for you to play. This type of thing is a little more common with modern games I imagine because space isn't as big of a concern. But this got me thinking, what other hidden games are there for any of the classic computers? I'm guessing this wasn't real common, but there must be some others. I know there were a few games in Commodore 64 loaders, but what I'm more interested in are the ones that are truly hidden.

Well, it is not really a game within a game, but older versions of Excel used to include a flight simulator. 

It was more of a weird, surreal simulator.  
More in common with Cybermorph than a true flight sim.


But it was a cool gimmick to see, especially in something generally used to do more serious work.

That reminds me of something similar. Can't remember the game that did this. There was an old game that if you pressed a hotkey would bring up a fake spreadsheet so your boss wouldn't catch you playing.

I think that was Tetris, but probably other games too.
