If we find a game hidden within another game chances are we'll wind up playing that instead of getting on with saving humanity. Here are seven games that nearly spelled doom for any poor suckers relying on our videogame heroes. Subscribe! http://tinyurl.com/SubToOxbox
Take Red Menace from Fallout 4. The Fallout 4 Pip-Boy is a miracle of Vault-Tec technology that can monitor your vital signs, target enemies for you and keep track of your possessions, but forget all that, because it can also play holotape games you find lying around.
Our Vault survivors weren’t cryogenically frozen, they've just spent the last 200 years playing anti-communist propaganda Donkey Kong clone Red Menace.
Still, they're not as bad as when we're in charge of Ryo, from Shenmue. Shenmue is ostensibly a game about tracking down your father’s mysterious killer, but only when it doesn’t get in the way of your busy schedule of pallet shifting, fork-lift truck racing and yes, playing videogames in the arcade.
Space Harrier and Super Hang On, are both playable in Ryo’s local arcade for you to while away the hours as your father’s killer flees to Hong Kong, and it gets even worse when you get to Hong Kong yourself in Shenmue 2 and discover a deluxe Out Run cabinet, playable for five dollars a throw no less.
It’s cool, we should be just about finished by the time Shenmue 3 comes out. Maybe that was the plan all along?
