The first one I probably noticed was actually in a book - in the "I Can Read" book "Put Me In The Zoo", if you look at the last page spread where they're at the Circus, you can see The Cat in The Hat in the crowd!
The first computer game one I saw was in a very early computer game (around 1980?) on my friend's Apple ][ called "Wizard II - The Tarturian". Very primitive graphics. You went into a dark room and met a creature and you could only see its eyes. You would say things to it and it would respond (and eventually tell you how to get out). When you typed "say sex", the eyes would jump up and down and the text on the screen indicated the creature said "ooga ooga". We were pretty entertained. |

I don't enjoy hidden features, you pay $10 to $20 dollars for a DVD with content you may never see, especially when you have to change discs to find them. |

I have never found an easter egg. Furthermore, I hadn't even heard of them (in this context) |

I've never found one. I've seen ones that other people found and showed me--the first one I remember (so not necessarily the first one) was the Jack Black/Sarah Michelle Gellar one on the first LoTR extended DVD. |

It was probably the one in the Atari 2600 game, Adventure.... not sure when, late 80s or early 90s, I think. |

The one that first comes to mind (probably not the first I ever saw) was the flight simulator hidden in Microsoft's Excel. I'll go to web sites to look up how to find DVD Easter Eggs occasionally. |

I have never found one, I've been told of them, and then searched them out |

No. I wouldn't look, I don't have time to search for extra things to watch. |

I have never found an easter egg and didn't realize they were in so many things. Now that I know I will be looking for them. |

I found one in Quark Express version 4. If you hit command K (kill to delete a box) 3 times in a row, a little alien pops up and shoots the box with a laser gun. Then if you do that 3 more times, a big, goofy alien comes and kills the little alien... Silly really. |

I like looking for them on DVD's....the first ones I remember finding were the trailers behind the movie posters in the movie "The Abyss"....one of them was for "Alien". I think easter eggs are cool. |

That is too cool!!! I told Jason about that so he could try it next week at work! He likes geeky stuff like this too...  |

I don't think I've ever come across one by accident, but I've read about several in computer magazines and then gone looking for them. |
| Irene007 |
It has to be Version 4 and on a Mac. |

I've never taken the time to look. |

The FAQ is a bit vague on cameos: "Cameos by actors (even uncredited cameos) aren't considered eggs", "Cameos by the director usually ARE eggs". I suspect that a cameo by the author of the book that the screenplay was based upon would fall into the latter category. In that case, it would be Bukowski's cameo in Barfly (1987). The two main characters Henry Chinaski (Mickey Rourke) and Wanda Wilcox (Faye Dunaway) meet (where else?) in a bar. The scene is shot from Rourke's rear as he enters the bar, the camera is focused first on him, then with a narrow depth of field, focuses past the geezer barflies. Just before reaching Dunaway, we see Charles Bukowski (the author whose work the film is based on) sitting at the bar having a drink.

Are you talking about things like an extra song on a cd that is not listed on the tracks? |

Never heard of this. |
