Dead Ops Arcade

Dead Ops Arcade is a hidden game-mode in Call of Duty: Black Ops. Upon first entering the game the "Insert Coin" achievement/trophy is unlocked.

Dead Ops Arcade
Dead Ops Arcade is a twin-stick top-down shooter, in which the player controls a soldier on an "island-like" level killing zombies. Then you must step on the teleporter to the next area and adds new zombies and prisoners. It contains many references to the zombie mode in Black Ops and World at War; however, in actual fact the gameplay has almost nothing in common with those games. Firing is controlled with the right stick, while movement is controlled with the left. Do not worry about ammo because the your character's main weapon has unlimited ammo and never needs to reload. RT/R1/Space causes the player to dash forward a large distance, killing any zombies in the way. LT/L1/G drops a nuke on the player, killing any zombies in a large radius.

Throughout the levels, the player will pick up treasure to fill a bar at the top of the screen. When this bar fills up, the player's score multiplier goes up by one. This score multiplier is capped at 9 and reset upon death. Aside from the treasure, there are also various power-ups that can be picked up to aid against the zombies.

Access
It is found by breaking free of the chair in the main menu, by hitting the triggers alternately very quickly (Space bar on the PC. L2 and R2 on PS3. But on the Wii the player must shake the nunchuck and Wii remote repeatedly.). The player must then locate a computer which holds the Central Intelligence Agency Data system. The game is accessed by using the keyboard on the computer (against the wall behind the torture chair) and typing "DOA".

After accessing DOA for the first time, it can be found on the list of Zombies maps and can be played anytime online. The player can also type in the cheat 3ARC UNLOCK, which also unlocks all single player missions.

Trivia

 * Several Xbox 360 and Steam achievements, as well as PS3 trophies, can be completed by first accessing and then playing this mini-game.
 * Dead Ops Arcade gameplay is extremely similar to an old arcade game Smash TV, to the point it could be considered as a remake.
 * The term DOA, referenced to in the cheats, is short for the title, Dead Ops Arcade.
 * It is not available on the Wii version yet, but may come in a DLC pack. When DOA is typed in the terminal it responds "A: cannot be read." Drive A: was usually the floppy drive on old computers and the response my hint at the level coming in a DLC pack. DLC packs on the Wii are stored on the SD Card, which is similar to a floppy.
