Whether it's Pitfall or Dead Ops Arcade, these playable novelties provide a brief distraction from the infinite warfare of the popular first-person shooting franchise. In each case other than the first, the games come from the Atari 2600 era, although there are a few original minigames produced for the Call of Duty franchise that pop up from time to time.
DEAD OPS ARCADE 2 SECRETS PC
In the past of the franchise, players could play through classic PC text adventure Zork from the Black Ops menu, go on a River Raid on Nuketown 2025 in Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, and try from a list of 10 classic titles like Chopper Command and Fishing Derby while waiting for multiplayer matches in Call of Duty: WWII. It's one of several categories of bizarre unlockables that has pervaded the series, especially in Black Ops titles and its arcane Zombies modes. Much like Sega including Virtua Fighter and obscure insect-based card games from its own heritage in Yakuza, Call of Duty has become the unlikely steward of games from the earliest days of publisher Activision's output. As is the case with many Call of Duty games of the past few years, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War has a slew of hidden classic games from Activision's past that are completely playable in-game.
