If you have chromophobia, I’m about to do you a lot of harm: Left 4 Dead 2 was released 15 years ago and its predecessor 16 years ago. We are looking at one of the best and most beloved zombie games ever created in the history of video games. And that is not an exaggeration: it currently has Daily peaks of 20-30,000 players on Steam… more than other current ones like Helldivers 2.
Valve has hidden a lot of secrets throughout its maps. It’s not always easy to find them due to the dozens of zombies we usually have on screen, but it’s worth the risk to see a Tank, Charger or Smoker appear. One of the most iconic references, and the one I was most excited to find, is dedicated to Portal.
“I found this while playing through the first demo of Left 4 Dead 2on October 27, 2009. A week before the official demo was released on November 3, 2009,” YouTube user BlindxLink said in the description of a video he shared on October 28, 2009. It took some gamers years to discover this wonder.
It is found during the campaign La parroquia (The Parish)specifically in the French Quarter. You have to find a jukebox in a bar and interact with it to change records until the song you are looking for plays: Still Alive, the iconic song from Portal. Killing zombies with that theme playing in the background is one of the best things that can happen to you as a professional zombie killer.
