Hello Everyone! Hope you are keeping very well. My favorite gaming easter egg was in Max Payne 1, needless to say it was one of the games i grew up with.During the 2nd mission (PART 1 ,CHAPTER 2) . I threw a grenade into the hole. later during the mission a group of rats started shooting at me (ref attachment) . At first i thought it was something like a bug. after couple of years i found that was it was really an easter egg type of thing lol.

I'm not big on cultural reference. Therefore any easter eggs, subtle or non-subtle will simply escape my attention.

Despite having played the Baldur’s Gate games ever since BG1 came out in 1998, I only discovered this one a week ago. In the town of Beregost there lives a dwarf mercenary called Kagain, an evil and taciturn axe-wielder, who you can recruit to join your party. I usually don’t bother but last week I decided to give him a try. When you click to select a party member he or she usually says a short phrase appropriate to the character. Kagain says “I don’t want to talk,” which would be reasonable, except that… he says it to the tune of those words at the start of ABBA’s song The Winner Takes It All. Not in Agnetha’s voice, of course, but with exactly the same inflections.

Moo moo mooooooo

My favorite Easter Egg is the "Doomed Space Marine" from Duke Nukem 3D and my favorite secret is Zombie Brad Vickers / Costume Key from Resident Evil 2 for PSX.

The most memorable easter egg I've found is from a classic, Doom 2. In the final boss battle if you use the idclip cheat to go inside the the Icon of Sin, you will find John Romero's head on a pole with the backmasked message “To win the game you must kill me, John Romero!” If you are a fan of early first person shooters and haven't seen this before, it's defenity worth a try. This has to be the oddest way for a game creator to put themselves into their work.

Not the most groundbreaking or the most memorable, but this one's my favourite because it the first one I found by myself, not from a magazine or internet cheat site.

In Quake II's last level you can access a secret "Hall of devs" room (as was the fashion at the time) with pictures of members of id Software who contributed to the game. From there, there was a second secret passage that lead to a sort of throne room that had a Tank Commander with two Iron Maidens... fawning over him.

"To win the game, you must kill me, John Romero! MUAHAHAHAHA!"

Nuff said.

Edit - someone already mentioned it but oh well.

Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge - As you wander the jungles of Dinky Island, you come across a call box phone. Guybrush uses the phone to call the Lucas Arts Hint line

Golden Pantaloons from Baldur's Gate. Hands down the most fun carry over.

Thank you folks at GOG!
It's so hard to pick one favourite...but all of my top easter eggs are from the same game.

You know the saying "It's so hot that you want to shoot the sun?"
Well you should by now given our crazy hot weather this summer.
It's finally over now as we progress into Fall
Take note, it's actually illegal to shoot the sun, so don't try it.

But... what if I told you there is nothing new under the sun with that idea?
Some sneaky developers actually used that concept decades ago!
Made it into an easter egg

Except it's Shoot the Moon
Yes! When you shoot the moon with a Sniper Rifle
It GROWS in real-time!

In my favourite game, GTA.

Why is it there? Absolutely no reason! Just for fun! And that's what makes it my favourite.

So next time you want to shoot the sun because it's so darn hot...
You can take out your anger in GTA without breaking the law! :)

If that easter egg isn't eggy enough, the same game has an actual egg for you!

Oh! I could go on about all the amazing easter eggs with this game. Looove Egg Hunting!

The Easter eggs basket and the giant shark, both in Battlefield 4, a really nice detail. Thank you for the giveaway!

For me, this is an easy entry. The coolest and most memorable easter egg or set thereof came from Legacy of Kain: Defiance and Blood Omen 2. The easter eggs in question were unlocked with button combinations at the menu screens. The first easter egg is from BO2 of Simon Templeman (Kain) saying his famous quote "Vae Victis" in proper classical Latin pronunciation. Throughout the series, he pronounced it Vay Viktus, but in this audio clip he purposefully and properly says Wai Wiktis. This was done to please the fans of the series who always complained he mispronounced it. See, Templeman is a classically trained Shakespearian actor.

The following easter egg from Defiance was also input at the title screen and changed the Soul Reaver that is held by both Kain and Raziel into a cardboard tube. This was a very cult reference to Penny Arcade and the Cardboard Tube Samurai. I don't know if anyone knows what that is though.

The next easter egg from Defiance was a portrait of an acquaintance of mine, Ben Lincoln, in one of the Reaver forges. He was a huge fan of the entire series and happened to be living in Seattle at the time. He was allowed to tour Crystal Dynamics' office, meet with the developers, and basically get all the inside dirt. He has a website dedicated to LoK called the Lost Worlds. At that site, one could find all the missing content from the games, fixes, etc. Anyway, I digress.

The final Easter egg from Defiance was input the same way, and changed Kain and Raziel into cell-shaded chibi cartoon characters. This was hilarious because in 2003 these cell-shaded versions circulated on the internet as supposedly being how the next installment of the game would actually look. Turns out it was an elaborate joke done by Ben Lincoln and his Lost Worlds site. The devs loved it so much, they put it into the final product.

All in all, it was just a trip to see those things in a game of such a serious nature. LOVED it! That was some awesome fan service as well, putting my friend in the game and indulging in his hoax.

Thank you folks!


Just recently stumbled on the surgeon who escaped the yakuza easter egg in cyberpunk and it completly caught my off guard. I knew i heard the story somewhere and genuinly made me LOL

a close second is the minecraft room in borderlands 2. being a Huge fan of both games at the time, it was awesome to find the secret room and get some themed loot.

Good luck everyone!

The Double Rainbow in Borderlands 2. Most easter eggs are just kinda "Oh Cool!" like the Companion Cube in Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. The double rainbow actually got me laughing though, so it's very memorable.
