wiseguyusa Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Since you are doing the packaging, you don't have to be stealthy to give yourself credit, You could put your photo and Bio on the box if you so desired... but what fun is that?

Myself? Not as yet. SpiceWare? Definitely. Space Rocks has Easter egg Credits for everyone that contributed coding and suggestions, an insane difficulty level Easter egg, and an alternate graphic for the saucer Easter egg.

+SpiceWare Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Medieval Mayhem and Space Rocks have fairly elaborate easter eggs. Stay Frosty 2: Stay Frostier just has one, a way to enable the level selector we used while developing the game (we didn't want to have to play levels 1-31 to see how well a change to level 32 turned out). There wasn't any room left in the ROM (just a few bytes) for anything beyond that. Do note the bug listing about the 6-switch issue fails to mention that AtariAge will replace the cartridge if you run into this problem. New copies of Stay Frosty 2 are made using an updated board that works just fine on 6-switch systems. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+McCallister Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Boulder Dash has an Easter Egg too. Aughhhhh! I always wondered about this one, but was afraid to ask. Looks like another reason to fire it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like another reason to fire it up Though I can neither confirm nor deny the presence of an easter egg, I can confidently say you will never find it!

+5-11under Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I don't know if I've always done it, but I like to add easter eggs for extra lives (although usually only before the game starts). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinroh Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I have some planned for Carrot Kingdom when it comes time to fit them in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Cafeman Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Well, I know this is about 2600 homebrews, but I put one into a 5200 homebrew back in 2002. I don't know what I was thinking or influenced by at the time, because I doubt anybody would naturally figure out that this 'author's initals' secret is there. http://cafeman.www9.50megs.com/atari/5200dev/KoffiSecrets.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Propane13 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Phantom II/Pirate has a hidden 3rd game. Was this public knowledge? I can't recall. -John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s0c7 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 (edited) Was this public knowledge? I can't recall. -John Yeah, that was quite a while ago. As best I recall, the clue on the manual was repeatedly hinted at and I think I eventually flat out stated how to do it.

+McCallister Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 My recent search for a missing easter egg that kept ending in frustration got me thinking: do programmers like to have their Easter Eggs found? Or is it more delightful to put something in and have it stay hidden for years? Does it matter what type of easter egg it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 IMO it should be not too obvious or easy to find. Finding it should be a matter of months, not days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I do when space is available. PONG and Computer Space for Colecovision have Easter Eggs. It not like the Atari Lynx epic Battlezone 2000 easter egg I wanted to put in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
