What is the first media-based "easter egg" you can remember actually finding?
I'm sure many of us heard about "easter eggs" before ever seeing one. By "easter eggs" I mean hidden treats often added to software or other media by clever folks to see whether anyone can find them (see http://www.eeggs.com/faq.html for a description). Sometimes you have to search for them, sometimes you just find them by coincidence. If you've ever found one, when did you see your first one? Where was it? What did it do?

Many people won't unless you give an explanation and put a link in as well. I've provided a link for you. Also, don't assume that everyone looks for these in movies or games. Some people don't, and some people don't watch movies or play games either. |
