Unbeknownst to a lot of people there was an unlockable game in the arcade version of NBA Jam TE- a hidden 'tank' game that allows you to run around a 3D wireframe field. In order to access this mode however, you were required to be able to toggle the on/off switch located behind the machine. While the game was powering back on, you would hold Up + all buttons on player 1 and Down + all buttons on player 2.
I remember doing this as a kid, no one ever believed me in the latter years and I am glad it was finally allowed in the wiki entry for NBA Jam ~_^ (took me forever to get the edit allowed).
Anyone else remember it?

It's well-known, but LucasArts' Day of the Tentacle has its predecessor Maniac Mansion built in for play if Bernard uses the computer in Ed Edison's room. I always thought that was a cute touch.

Animal Crossing had quite a few
Cave's VN "Instant Brain" has Dodonpachi as an unlockable game, and it can be played with the Kinect
Zone of the Enders 2 has an unlockable Gradius game called Zoradius.
