** ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha 3'''s [[spoiler:[[TrueFinalBoss true]]]] final boss [[spoiler:Keisar Ephes]] has an ultimate attack that, if you freeze the animation in certain places (it can be viewed on YouTube), shows the boss standing on a pile of all of the guys you can recruit, as if foreshadowing his victory. Unlike other examples, it's more just for OhCrap factor.

* ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' has one for the first boss. [[spoiler:If Toriel kills you, she has a [[http://i.imgur.com/p40PFXr.png unique sprite]] for her [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone reaction]].]]
** Sometimes when backtracking in the game, you may see that [[spoiler: Flowey is there, and upon seeing you walk towards him, he goes back into the ground. This foreshadows that he's been following you throughout the whole game.]]

* ''VideoGame/ArthursNightmare'' has one in the ending. [[spoiler:As the protagonist (who's all but stated to be a less-than-content fan of [[WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}} the original show]]) goes to delete a whole folder of rants about the series from his computer, other folders with similar labels from other PBS Kids series (specifically, ''WesternAnimation/{{Cyberchase}}'', ''WesternAnimation/DragonTales'', and ''WesternAnimation/TheMagicSchoolBus'') can be seen briefly.]]

* ''VideoGame/PunchOut'' Has a bearded guy in the crowd wich never moves. He only nods in one occasion: [[spoiler:When you can OneHitKill an opponent]].

* The various games of the VideoGame/CallOfDuty franchise is known for packing an incredible amount of plot-relevant information in the introductory cutscenes of each mission. Most notably, the seemingly purely decorative rapidly scrolling text at the end of each mission intro in VideoGame/CallOfDutyBlackOps3 is actually a coherent narrative that, if taken at face value [[spoiler:completely undermines the story of the video game proper and turns it into a ShaggyDogStory.]]

* ''VideoGame/ArthursNightmare'' has one in the ending. [[spoiler:As the protagonist (who's all but stated to be a [[FanDumb less-than-content fan]] of [[WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}} the original show]]) goes to delete a whole folder of rants about the series from his computer, other folders with similar labels from other PBS Kids series (specifically, ''WesternAnimation/{{Cyberchase}}'', ''WesternAnimation/DragonTales'', and ''WesternAnimation/TheMagicSchoolBus'') can be seen briefly.]]

* ''[[Franchise/TheElderScrolls The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard]]'' has a moment in the intro when the camera moves over five books... named, in order, ''Arena'', ''Daggerfall'', ''Morrowind'', ''Oblivion'' and ''Romanelli'', revealing Bethesda had already decided on a name for the fourth game in the main series (and conversely hadn't decided on a name for the fifth game yet), eight years before it actually came out.

* ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes'' has the ''entire backstory'' of the FinalBoss, which is told entirely in fast-forward. [[NoFourthWall Travis explicitly fast-forwards it,]] [[spoiler:to avoid raising the game's age rating.]] ([[http://www.viddler.com/explore/ChipCheezum/videos/81/ Here it is slowed down]], courtesy of Chip Cheezum's LetsPlay.)

* In ''VideoGame/SonicUnleashed'', a Dreamcast with controller is briefly seen just prior to Dr. Eggman firing the WaveMotionGun to fracture the planet and awaken [[BigBad Dark Gaia]]. It's in the frames where you get an overhead shot as Eggman has his finger in the air. He also has the Dreamcast in his Egg-o-matic right before [[EldritchAbomination Dark Gaia]] emerges and swats him away.

* In ''VideoGame/{{Portal 2}}'', during a later test GLaDOS tells you a supposedly sped-up version of the instructions for that chamber. Slowing it down reveals it to simply be a line from ''Moby Dick''.

* In ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry 3'', the intro cutscenes of the stages have the number of the stage hidden on it. Some are fairly obvious (Stage 5's intro fades out on a spray of blood shaped like a 5), some not so much.

* ''VideoGame/TimeSplitters 2'' does the same as ''VideoGame/UnrealTournament'' (you can zoom in and see a tiny head using a sniper rifle at point blank). ''Videogame/TeamFortress2'' also does it with the Eyelander/Skullcutter's kill animations. Furthermore, you can make a ragdoll in ''Garry's Mod'' appear to have no head by simply deflating it until it becomes invisible. This is because it's a lot easier for both the programmer and the computer/console to simply scale vertices or force them all into one point than to actually add to or take away from the 3D mesh.

* ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'' has these a lot of times on the bullet casings coming out of guns. However, in ''[[VideoGame/{{Halo 2}} 2]]'', on Legendary, you can see Jason Jones (Co-Founder of Bungie Studios) wearing only boxers with his hands behind his head, kneeling. What the hell were Bungie doing when that was taken? Wait, don't answer that.

* ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes'' has the ''entire story'' of the last boss, which is told entirely in fast-forward. [[NoFourthWall Travis explicitly fast-forwards it,]] [[spoiler:to avoid raising the game's age rating.]] ([[http://www.viddler.com/explore/ChipCheezum/videos/81/ Here it is slowed down]], courtesy of Chip Cheezum's LetsPlay.)

* During [[ComicBook/{{Deathstroke}} Deathstroke's]] victory screen in ''InjusticeGodsAmongUs'', he sits down in front of a computer waiting for his next contract. Just before the shot of him sitting comes up, there is a shot of the computer's "Cotract Pending" screen, where names like [[ComicBook/TheJudasContract Judas Contract]], H.I.V.E. and ComicBook/DoomPatrol can be seen along with "open contracts" for characters like Dick Grayson (a.k.a. ComicBook/{{Nightwing}}), Kyle Rayner (a Green Lantern member also known as the superhero Ion), Garfield Logan (a.k.a. Beast Boy) and Floyd Lawton (a.k.a. ComicBook/{{Deadshot}}).

* ''VideoGame/MegaManZx'' Advent has one in the form of Model P, when you open the Transform menu as it, for a single frame it has the face of Model Px from the original game instead. ([[https://youtu.be/GfV-tcvJxBo Video]]

* ''VideoGame/MegaManZxAdvent'' has one in the form of Model P, when you open the Transform menu as it, for a single frame it has the face of Model Px instead. ([[https://youtu.be/GfV-tcvJxBo Video]]

* Some of the Star Bit "constellations" seen in the backgrounds in both ''SuperMarioGalaxy'' and ''SuperMarioGalaxy2'', which only appear when Mario is traveling from one planet to another. You need to get those Star Bits immediately before Mario finally arrives on the next planet.

* ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' has one for the first boss. [[spoiler:If Toriel kills you, she has a
