DanBoris Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 (edited) Well, after pouring over the code for a couple hours I can confirm that there is an Easter Egg in Food Fight! Thanks to "audiemurphy" for starting me on the trail of this. Here are the steps to access the easter egg, which I have confirmed on the real hardware: 1. Play one game up to at least level 23. This is easy if you set the skill to beginner and start on level 16. 2. After that game, on the level select screen, select level 23. 3. Hold the pause button on the console and do the following sequence with the joystick: Up, Down, Right, Left, Up, Down, Right, Left. If you do that all right it should display the message.

RJ Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 I didnt get the "alchemist" note but the word "LEVEL" changed to "KEITH" at the bottom of the game screen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Talk about coincidence! I've recentally been in put touch with Keith, so I showed him a picture of the easter egg. Here's what he said: Thank you for sending me that screen shot of the easter egg! That brings back memories. Yes, I hid it really well to make sure that no one would ever find it and remove it. And then it remained hidden for 20 years...interesting! Apperently he hid it a little too well. Even he couldn't remember how to trigger it.

+Propane13 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Apperently he hid it a little too well. Even he couldn't remember how to trigger it. Seems to happen often-- like with the Ninja Golf easter egg. The author knew it was there, but didn't know how to produce it. So, there's possibilities that things like this are still around in other games, which is totally cool! If we ever find the Ikari Warriors warp code, I can die happy. -John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdement Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 If we ever find the Ikari Warriors warp code, I can die happy. -John It's in an old issue of Nintendo Power. I still have those things, but I have no idea what issue it's in. I just remember it's ridiculously long, but it did work when I tried it a long time ago.

JagFan422 Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 sorry for off topic, but does the 7800 Ikari Warriors have a similiar a,b,b,a code like the NES to come back after you die? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just realized you were obviously talking about the Atari version. I'm a little dense sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dauber Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 BTW -- just a clarification....earlier this year I was at Inky's house, and he couldn't get the Easter egg to work... The thing is - note the wording of the post: SELECT level 23; don't actually START it. Wow...resurrecting old threads is fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadrunner Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Cool! I just tried this code! I got the message- By Keith Sawyer The "Alchemist Of Fun" , and the level number changed to Keith 25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[d2f]Iggy*SJB Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 This game is easily my favorite of all 7800 games I have. Beef Drop is right behind it, with DK jr coming in a close 3rd. I love Food Fight, and I will have to try this out. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
