other games referenced in....other games!

So I was playin a lil World Class Baseball last night, as the Paris Fries. I went to make a substitution, and lo-and-behold, who's on the sub list? None other than the tattered-loin cloth wearin' badass Gogan!!

Whether this was coincidence or not, it got me thinkin...what games are out there that have references to other games in them? (Turbob/pce of course)

Obvious or not.

I know there's the likes of star parodier and such, so I  thought it'd be cool for everyone to post here when they catch a game referencing another game in the library. Go!



Ps. No search function on phone=sorry if this has been done before

Also noticed in Super Volleyball, the wall behind the court says, Rabio Lepus.

Don't ask why I was playing Super Volleyball.

Doesn't a poster in Cosmic Fantasy 2 reference Cosmic Fantasy 3 as a coming attraction?

[Gogan]

Good question, I've never been able to sit through the large amounts o battles long enough to get very far in the game lol

In the Sega Saturn Bomberman you can play as bonk

When I "finished" a game of Pia Carrot on PC-FX, one of the end game slides had a Sega Saturn advertisement in it.

On a side note.... isn't that game supposed to be a pron game?  I must really suck cuz I didn't see any pron

It sure does, there is a town that has signs posted on a fence announcing Cosmic Fantasy 3 coming soon. Unfortunately as we all know that didn't happen in the U.S.

I wonder if that was Working Designs or done in the original Japanese version.

Vigilante has R Type and Mr. Heli billboards on the last level.

[sunteam_paul]

Kick Ball has Tasuke and Kyapiko from Schbibinman as playable characters.

[ParanoiaDragon]

New Adventure Island has a Super Mario reference.  I believe it's in a level that has the Super Mario Worldish bg.  The music at one point gets slightly into the original Super Mario tune.

Really? I've never noticed that before... Weird.

The Sega CD Snatcher has a bunch of Konami characters in the "Outer Heaven" club including Dracula and Simon Belmont. I think also the guy from Hudson's Adventure Island and the Contra Bros. The PC Engine version had anime characters I believe that weren't as known in the U.S. I thought Dracula might have still been in it, anyone confirm?

And then there is your sidekick Metal Gear, and the son of Dr. Madnar from the metal gear series. And I guess Big Boss was the first Snatcher? lol

EDIT:

I think this is the PCE Version, so it was mainly movie references (like Alien):



And the Sega CD Version:



I guess the translation patch has been abandoned:

I'm pretty sure it's atleast in level 4-3.  I've been looking thru video's but didn't find a decent one.  The level starts at 8:25 in this video, but, this video plays slow, unless it's just my PC??  I'd say at about 8:45 is when you can clearly hear the original SMB tune.

Yes. In the first town when you're playing as Babette, the fliers on the walls all mention Cosmic Fantasy 3 on Super CD. The posters change later when the impostors plan a town meeting, and then change again after the impostors are defeated.

On that note, Exile 2 reference's both Cosmic Fantasy 3 & Exile 3.  Near the Spire or whatever of the Death God, in some tree's, there's a character(much like the one in Exile 1 that reference's Exile 2: The Revenge, though that was Yuko in that) that talks about seeing you again in Exile 3, & that they are off to hear Nayam sing in Cosmic Fantasy 3...or something like that.
