Okay, purely hypothetical situation: suppose there was this game whose creator went a bit overboard with creating crazy minigames and stuff. And let's further suppose purely hypothetically that some of you might consider nominating said game for the "technical prowess" Misaos award because of the text adventure and jeep chase and stuff, but didn't because the game is hypothetically speaking also very long and some of you didn't make it far enough into the game to discover all the weird little minigames. And let's further suppose that this game had an Arcade map that allowed easy and direct access to all the various minigames, but that map would be unlocked only after completion of the entire game.

In this entirely hypothetical and fictional situation of someone maybe wanting to check out the minigames without having to invest 30 hours or more for finishing the entire game, there might be an easy solution: the game checks for the presence of a file called "gd_rpg.fin" in the game directory (%APPDATA%\GD_RPG) - to unlock the bonus features from the main menu - just create an empty text file in that folder and rename it to gd_rpg.fin.
