Although it’s not a direct reference to Terry Bogard, Twitter user UltimaShadowX found an unexpected Neo Geo CD Easter egg. They discovered that the loading screen of Terry’s World Tour, which shows a monkey with the text “Now Loading / Please Wait,” is the same as the one on the console. Launched in 1994 in Japan and later in the US, the Neo Geo CD made it easier for players to access SNK games, including classics such as Art of Fighting 2, Double Dragon, and Samurai Shodown 3: Blades of Blood. On the other hand, the console became infamous for having incredibly long loading times.
