it’s time to get really meta welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 video
games within video games here me needing
my patented super battery then won’t e
not to be mistaken for just mini games
on their own this list aims to seek out
the best arcade adventures that our main
characters can play for themselves these
mini games must be featured within the
universe of the game itself and must be
playable through a character in the game
just give me someone to fight
we’re also excluding card games such as
Gwent from The Witcher 3 number 10
future street racer 2165 bully
scholarship edition
sometimes beating up kids in boarding
school doesn’t quite fill that sweet
spot and when that happens you need
something futuristic located in the
common room of the boys dorm Jimmy
Hopkins can unwind with a fast-paced
street racing simulator perfectly
emulating the future life in the fast
lane as the player progresses through
the main game future street racer can be
upgraded to a fully 3d arcade cabinet
funny how the school can increase its
budget like that and still keep sending
the kids home with black guys you know
you’re not very nice scary and you’re a
loser PD number 9 bizarre jelly 5 No
More Heroes 2 desperate struggle
striving to be the best Bheem katana
wielding assassin is tough so why not
chill out with a good old-fashioned 2d
shoot-’em-up
based on a pure white lover bizarre
jelly anime series within suda51 s crazy
universe
Travis touchdown can play a fast-paced
bubblegum shooter to his or your own
heart’s content with a slammin j-pop
soundtrack and its own cheesy
provocative intro sequence bizarre jelly
v is remarkably authentic number eight
Zork call of duty black ops the cold
war-era classic is full of twists turns
and secrets right from the opening menu
literally looking down at Mason’s
restraints the player can break free and
boot up a computer behind his chair
after typing Zork Mason and the player
are free to go through the entire 1980
text-based classic using a series of
commands the player can adventure their
life away looking for the game’s 20
treasures and installing them in a
trophy case sorry Hudson no
interrogations right now we’re busy
don’t know what you’re talking about
number 7 maniac mansion day of the
tentacle now this is literally having
two games in one Hey want to see a neat
trick
sure if you want to experience the
original maniac mansion but only have
the sequel day of the tentacle no
problem just use weird Ed’s computer and
you can play the entire game right there
my room a graphic adventure game by
LucasArts you take control of a group of
stereotypical teenagers in search of
Dave’s girlfriend in dr. Fred’s mansion
regarded as a classic adventure game
from the 1980s and it’s all readily
available to play in the sequel isn’t
that oddly fourth-wall breaking now how
did that miss getting there
number 6 Beatlemania super mario RPG
have you ever wanted to play as Mario
playing a gameboy in a Super Nintendo
game probably not
but by talking to the toad at the
Mushroom Kingdom in for 500 coins Mario
can play a 2d shooter right on his very
own Gameboy with changing landscapes
depending on which member of the party
is playing you can see backgrounds based
on Yoshi’s Island – and Super Mario
World it’s a nice little time killer and
it’s got a sneaky reference to the Fab
Four I wonder if Mario listens to peach
in the Sky with Diamonds
number 5 NES games
Animal Crossing by far the biggest
selection of in universe video games
goes to the bouncy and fun-loving
GameCube classic hidden among the
village are a total of 15 fully
available NES games including Excitebike
Donkey Kong and Wario’s woods but more
so for forbidden games can be found with
external assistance including The Legend
of Zelda and Super Mario Bros walk with
the grandest selection of classic
Nintendo games on hand in your own
little village who needs the Wiis
Virtual Console apparently you do since
it’s because of the Virtual Console that
they nixed this feature in future
crossing games number 4 chocobo racing
Final Fantasy 7
truly one of the most unique entries to
this list is an arcade game set in a
pixel universe using livestock that
appear in multiple fictional universes
now that’s a real head-scratcher while
not saving the world from the deadly
Shinra corporation Cobb can take a load
off at the golden saucer with the
chocobo racer where players can pick
their oversized chicken of choice and
race against other players it’s actually
not entirely clear that you’re playing
this and not actively participating
since you see your character riding the
chocobo but it’s Final Fantasies so it’s
best not to ask too many questions
number 3 cubed Grand Theft Auto 4 and
Grand Theft Auto 5 this tetris love
letter is well known as being one of the
most challenging and addictive games to
befuddle the GTA universe goading
would-be players into flipping colored
blocks around the geometric puzzler can
be found all across bars in Liberty City
and even online in Los Santos brightly
presented but very tactical this arcade
machine has been known to keep criminal
Psychopaths at bay if only for a few
minutes whilst they chase down an
achievement that’s exactly right
number 2 lost Viking Starcraft 2 wings
of Liberty even in the intergalactic
future 2d shoot-’em-ups are still all
the rage for video game characters as
our clever tie-ins to one of blizzards
earlier games
whether you’ve beaten the game or not
players can access this space adventure
from the cantina and destroy the
villainous terra Tron there are three
stages you can repeat over and over but
as you do the enemies only get tougher
and tougher not only is this a sweet
little not one of blizzards lesser known
games Lost Vikings but it ties nicely
into the Starcraft lore since Vikings
naturally are a playable unit in
Starcraft two of the best pilot in all
the nine worlds oh yeah before we unveil
our top pick here are a few honorable
mentions
number one geometry wars Project Gotham
Racing how do you know your side game
within your game is pretty good well
when it’s released as its own series in
the real world and then manages to
outlive its original game series
designed by Bizarre Creations as a test
for the Xbox controller geometry wars
was included as a little extra in
Project Gotham Racing 2 but as players
chose to devote hour after hour into the
fast-paced twin-stick shooter
development began on a standalone game
which is now evolved into its own series
a fantastic arcade shooter for the Xbox
Live Arcade we only see fit to name it
the best video game within a video game
