See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge An easter egg--the kind you find in Mac games, anyway--is any sort of hidden surprise (hence the name) that occurs when an unlikely set of conditions are met. For example, when the system clock is set to December 25, Maelstrom displays Christmas ornaments in the title screen. Another example is the very large literal easter egg suspended over a remote lake in F/A-18. A list of Macintosh and Newton easter eggs compiled by Brian Kendig <bskendig@netcom.com> can be found at info-mac at <ftp://mirrors.aol.com/pub/info-mac/info/mac-newton-easter-egg-list-94.txt>. Daniel Fanton <ixist@aol.com> maintains a comprehensive web site devoted to Apple Easter Eggs at <http://users.aol.com/ixist/easter-eggs.html>, and there's a cross-platform Easter Egg Archive page at <http://weber.u.washington.edu/~davidnf/eggnorm.html>. Of course, if the programmer didn't put it in on purpose, it's not an easter egg, it's a "feature." User Contributions:Top Document: comp.sys.mac.games FAQ Previous Document: 6.
