- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

Venom's 1up in Maximum Carnage
I mean, that's what being a gamer is. You know the tropes.
You know someone should know them as well. So they surely can and will apply them.
And you sure as fuck ain't letting another gamer get the upper hand on you, we don't do that here
Aladin had that extra life at the start of the first level.
Prehistoric had something on the left
TIL CAD is still going and it looks different.
But can you truly see it when the quality is so bad it's blurry af?
Original:
Donkey Kong Country did this to me forever
Yup.
Also at the end of the level. I remember 3 had balloons n stuff there.
Mario world has some secret exits you had to access by going under the goal and past the ending as well.
Mario bros 1-2
Some of the levels seemed like you could jump over the flag pole, but it would grab it from the other side. Then Mario lost levels had one where you could get passed the flag and it felt so good finally being able to do it.
Tap for spoiler
Until you got to the end and it turned out to be a warp zone that brought you backwards instead of forwards lol

Chainsaw in the first level of Doom 2?
Also in this list: checking under stairs and behind waterfalls
And hitting every bit of wall that looks suspiciously flat and empty. I'm looking at you, Miyazaki.
In Sega Genesis/Mega Drive Aladdin in several levels in the beginning you have go forward a bit and then return back to the start to find the secret. Needles to say, it also messed me up for life.
Sonic on the game gear does this on the second boss
Ha! In Kirby they put stars or collectibles or plot items in obscure places in just about every game!
