Your favorite Game Easter Eggs/Hidden Secrets

[Collector_Gaming]

All easter is amongst us... And what better to talk about then Easter Eggs within our favorite games?

What is a easter egg in programing/video gaming jargon you ask?

Its something that was added (usually visual) to a program or video game secretly that has no relation to the program/game.

I noticed an interesting one as a example last night in American Mcgee's ALICE (playing it through since its been awhile since i last played it so i can go play the sequel!) if you go to the white castle in the chess world you'll see paintings... 1 of them happen to be a actual photograph of Lewis Carroll and others being original art work pieces from the original Alice in Wonderland books that mr Carroll wrote all those many years ago. Also the famous images of alice and cheshire cat rendered in the game and a few other pieces.

I remember vaguely Quake 2 having a room towards the end of the game that had pictures of all the developers and some of them would things if you push a button or something.

Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time when you enter hyrule castle and in the court yard.. if you look to the right of the princess into a window you'll see artwork from Mario 64 plastered on the wall.



what are some others?

In Deadly Premonition, there's a photo of Laura Palmer (from "Twin Peaks") on Anna's bedroom wall. I thought that was a nice little touch.

I remember finding those pictures in Ocarina of Time, it was cool at the time.

There was this oddball easter egg in excel that I did one time. It wasn't by chance or anything, though, you pretty much have to look it up. Anyway, you go to a certain cell way down on a sheet and enter in a certain string. It would then open up this odd FPS level.

yea it was on Excel 97
you did a certain entry and then did a certrain string of commands in the programs info window.. you ended up with this

very basic First Person space flight simulator

in Word 97 something similar you would end up with a simple easy pinball game

That's cool, but that isn't the one that I did. As I recall there was a narrow path to follow (or fall off of) and at the end was one of the famous pictures of the original Microsoft team. Or something like that. Don't remember it too clearly now.

Heres a interesting easter egg i just saw.. makes me wanna pop in left for dead 2 just to try it out.
