The second [[spoiler:happens in the ending, after defeating the final boss. Before dropping Doc Choc off in the past, Player goes to the gun store and buys a Lightgun, the most powerful weapon in the game. Immediately after this, the game cuts to Player in his bed, as if the entire game, having taken place in the past, was just a dream. He wakes up to a news report of an APB on him, with massive forces waiting at his doorstep. He replies, "Lock n' load!!" with the Lightgun in hand, in a subversion. After the credits roll, the game resumes.]]

'''''Retro City Rampage''''' is an upcoming WiiWare, XboxLiveArcade, PlayStationNetwork and {{Steam}} game to be released in 2012.
The story goes that the game's original developer, Brian Provinciano, built his own homebrew engine for {{NES}} development, and started work on a {{Retraux}} demake of ''GrandTheftAutoIII''. After overcoming programming limitations by moving the game to the PC, he started adding in other various references to the characters from his childhood, including, but no doubt not limited to classic games such as ''SuperMarioBros'', ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZelda'', and ''VideoGame/BionicCommando''.
As these references became more and more prevalent, Brian decided to make the game an entirely new game as opposed to a straight {{Retraux}} demake, and the result is the game that you see before you.
The game also contains an [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome awesome soundtrack]] by [[{{Shantae}} Jake "Virt" Kaufman]].

* ShoutOut: Numerous, beginning with the title, which references ''RiverCityRansom'' (though ''WordOfGod'' says that particular reference was unintentional).
* StylisticSuck: One of the trailers for the game, in an obvious parody of Nintendo's habit of [[MerchandiseDriven adapting their]] [[{{Mario}} biggest]] [[TheLegendOfZelda names]] [[MerchandiseDriven into a breakfast cereal]], features several occurrences of minor TotallyRadical, as well as deliberate screen distortion as if it was recorded on an old VHS tape.
