5. WAVE RACE: BLUE STORM

It sounds ridiculous and complicated but it works.

In 1990, Nintendo power magazine ran a contest to see which reader would have their name include in the upcoming game "THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: A LINK TO THE PAST".

Chris Houlihan was the winner of the contest but the location of his room was so complicated to find that it seemed to disappear into obscurity. It wasn't until the 2000's when the room was finally discovered, and video games realized that they either had to glitch link's location to get there, or get the Pegasus boots, rush through 10 specific screens, and then reaching a hidden bush inside the castle walls all the while not getting hurt.
7. FINAL FANTASY IX
13 years after "FINAL FANTASY IX" was released, and given how popular the game was, it is shocking that it took this long. Players noticed that there seemed to be "worthless" dialogue with some characters called the Nero brothers about 9 important events in the game. If the player had the patience to go through all of the dialogue, they would unearth even more dialogue and a side quest. But after it was all over, the player is rewarded with a protect ring.

But if sticking with 007 is your preference, there was also an island you could access by just walking on water called Dam island or "THE CITADEL".

10. MIKE TYSON'S PUNCH-OUT!!
