Did you know you can type easter egg with just your left hand? - lotion, on 10/12/2007, -2/+48Here's the text from the page:
Super Mario Bros
Not as much of an easter egg, but on the second level towards the end you can jump up above the screen and walk to find a secret warp zone. These warp zone would take you to a level much further into the game.
Super Mario Bros 3
Sticking with the Super Mario Bros series the next easter egg that was oh so common was the warp whistles. These warp whistles would transport you to different levels. In world 1-3 towards the end there is a white block, if you get up on it press and hold down you will eventually fall through the back of it and run towards the end of the level. At the end you will enter a secret mushroom house where Toad gives you the warp whistle. Other warp whistles can be found in the World 1 fortress and on the World 2 map.
Mortal Kombat
This was one of the easter eggs that was very hard to do and every time the shadowy item was flying in front of the moon we would all be like, “Don’t hit me at all!”. On the pit stage if you saw a shadowy item flying in front of the moon that means you could enable the easter egg. What you had to do was beat your opponent without getting hit or using the block button. If you did this after the match you would be able to fight Reptile at the bottom of the pit.
Warcraft, Warcraft 2, and Starcraft
This was quite a funny easter egg. I actually discovered it when I was bored waiting for my peasants to mine gold. I repeatedly clicked on one peasant and after about 6 clicks instead of saying , “Back to work” or something like that he said something completely different that would just made me laugh. They would either complain about something or say something funny. It worked on all characters in Warcraft, Warcraft 2, and Starcraft. Although I tried it in World of Warcraft without any luck!
Serious Sam: The Second Encounter
If you have not played this game you should! It is such much fun and a complete waste of an entire day! Anyways on the second level, “The Valley of the Jaguar” if you head way over to the huge tower with the houses on each side and look back there is a sign that says “CROLLYWOOD”. Other funny things in the game include a couple in a bush giggling, and tons of references to Duke Nukem Forever.
Counter-Strike
I found these easter eggs when I was killed. When you are killed you go into ghost mode. From there you can go anywhere in the level and go through walls. In many levels there are hidden rooms that you can only get to while in ghost mode. In these rooms you will find notes, dedications, etc. Here are some of the ones that I found. In de_aztec between the terrorist and counter-terrorist sides beside the bridge you will find a room with a tom of different messages. In de_dust2 in the counter-terrorist spawn if you go through the back wall and turn around you will see The credits for the map. Finally in de_inferno in the counter-terrorist base go down the ramp and through the wall. You will see a government health warning and the maps credits.
Unreal Tournament
Unreal was one of my favorite FPS games. I played in a lot of local LAN tournaments and loved to play lowgrav instagib maps. One easter egg I found was in dm-codex. In the map there is a square room with a pillar in the middle and a hallway on each side. Go into the hallway with the lift on the right side and a wall straight ahead. Now go stand at that wall. If you stand there long enough a door will open revealing a hidden room. Inside of the hidden room is a picture of Cliffy B. the co-designer of Unreal Tournament and text that says “pretty fly”. If you shoot the text it changes and says “For a white guy!”.
World of Warcraft
Out of all of the easter eggs in World of Warcraft this one has to be one of the hardest. This alliance-specific quest will get you a pet chicken that will follow you around everywhere. What you need to do is find a chicken in the game and type “/chicken” to it A LOT, around 60 times! After that you will be able to talk to the chicken and get the C-L-U-C-K quest. You have to go get a special feed for the chicken then “/cheer” and it and you will be able to pickup your present, which is the pet chicken. - Hiki, on 10/12/2007, -1/+38Hot Coffee
- corevette, on 10/12/2007, -1/+35i remember one my first sites i ever new about on the internet was this one: http://eeggs.com/
i was fascinated by it
why yes, i am a loser - DurkaMcDurk, on 10/12/2007, -1/+27i like the ones that dont have a wordpress error....
- RichPowers, on 10/12/2007, -0/+20My favorite easter egg: using the centering tool in SimCity 2000 to shoot down helicopters flying around your city.
And speaking of Sim easter eggs, here's the story of one that got a SimCopter dev fired:

Those Mario ones aren't. - tidu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12"are some of them your favorites?"
you're not allowed to ask me, I need to be told my favorites like the title states. - sluggoo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Some sort of honorable mention ought to be given to the first easter egg: a secret dot, hidden in "Adventure" on the Atari 2600, which let you view a message from the programmer. More info here:
http://www.eeggs.com/items/453.html - popltree2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+842? Of course it is 42. 42 is the answer.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Fallout: On one of the random encounters I ran across a dead whale and a potted plant that apparently fell from the sky.
Hitchhiker's Guide - th3heretic, on 10/12/2007, -4/+11What? No halo... Halo 1 had some good easter eggs. Commence avid halo hateing and digg me down.
- toxicgonzo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/913941/14863
Metal Gear Solid 2 - npsken, on 10/12/2007, -4/+10"Did you know you can type easter egg with just your left hand?"
I can't, I hit the space bar with my right thumb. - laznhome, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I remember one in Quake that you could only find by rocket jumping up to a ledge, then working your way around to the top of a map (lack of clip planes rocked!!) and up there there was a message from "Level Lord" that said something like "You aren't supposed to be here". Plus the infamous dopefish.
- AK10, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Can we have an article about this that isn't written in the style of a 6th grade essay?
- Nobiting, on 10/12/2007, -7/+12Wordpress FTW! /sarcasm
- shagen454, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Doom 2: last level, John Romero's bloody decapitated head on a pike. Wish it were real.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:John_Romero%27s_Head.png - iamafatguy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I thought watching the guy type in Doom3 was funny. http://www.eeggs.com/items/43971.html
- democracysucks, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Wordpress is just the CMS, not the host. If you host on wordpress.com, they actually guarantee you their servers are Digg-proof.
- shagen454, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5The Fallout series has the most easter eggs I've seen in a game. For the most part they're humorous and interesting- ranging from movies like Monty Python and the Holy Grail (Knights of Neee hunting for shrubbery), Back to the Future, Big Trouble in Little China, From Dusk Until Dawn, Star Trek, Dune, Austin Powers, Star Wars - to TV shows, the Simpsons, Dr. Who, X-Files, South Park (box of cheesy poofs), video games - wasteland (of course), Final Fantasy, Punch Out, Wing Commander, Interstate 76, Duke Nukem etc, card games - well ok, just Magic the Gathering in the humoursly titled cardpack "Tragic the Garnering", music - Michael Jackson with the line, "But I am a lover not a fighter". Fast food - KFC ("It's made with eleven herds and spices, and it's finger-lickin good"). Historic areas such as Area 51, a mock Church of Scientology and of course I really do mean mock here. You can also find an actual easter egg. They even name drop Noam Chomsky at one point in the game and I've never seen anyone point out this reference publicly. What other game has ever referenced Noam Chomsky? There's too much to list, check it out.
- Spetz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3The Naboo Star Fighter in Star Wars: Rogue Squadron for the N64. They managed to keep it hidden until after Episode 1, which was so surprising.
- allenu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Unless you are missing a left thumb, you *can* type easter egg with just your left hand.
- mehss, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6Is this some kind of easter egg?
- minisanity, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3How could they miss the exploding animals in all the Warcraft games!!!
- Ajajadude, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3@Scheissen
And I'm tired of people constantly feeling the need to constantly point out how many diggs there were when they couldn't access the site. Congratulations, you have eyes, you can see what we can see! Pointing out that many, many sites don't have the server capacity to handle making it to the front page of digg doesn't do a damned thing! The best way to avoid this: stop submitting blogs! - saegiru, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3These were barely easter eggs, if they even qualify. Also, the guy must be some kind of moron because in WoW you CAN click multiple times on NPCs and it will do the same thing as in Warcraft, Starcraft, etc. Come on... warp zones in SMB being an easter egg? PLEASE.
- Kypt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Also can't forget the secret level in Super Mario Bros (I think it's 0-1) where its an infinite water level until the time is up :P
- th3heretic, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Sim copter was the best! I want a sequel for it
- steelmaverick, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3It looks like wordpress has some easter eggs of its own.
- shawb, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Star Road yo
- fcra, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2My favorite is in Jedi Knight, when you follow that chick into her house and you find a particularly ornery Max from Sam&Max. If you can steer him in the right direction, he'll shoot up any stormtroopers that cross his path.
- Bahimiron, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Based on this list, I'm not convinced that this guy actually knows what an Easter Egg is.
- Agret, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2WordPress is the only CMS on digg that constantly fails to deliver, obviously the offical wordpress servers must be distributed across many many machines
- doublej42, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2duke nukem 3d in the level near the end, right when you get to the fault like cheat to fly across and there is a note from level lord.
- soulpiercer7, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3in Half-Life2 on the canal level just after you shoot down the copter, there is a small whole in the crating of a pipe that you can squeeze through. At the end of the pipe there is a vortiguant (alien) that gives you some insight into the game.
S.T.A.K.E.R. has a reference to Half-life as well. There is a PDF entry from a guy you kill referencing the main character of Half-Life Gordan Freeman.
and then are all the custom maps people have made with Easter eggs in them. I suppose those don't count as they aren't official. - tehmoth, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1what about the doom wolfenstein levels and the wolfenstein kill commander keen level?
- thomasec84, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Uhm....Leisure suit Larry...unlockable nudity in a video game. I feel like that sentence alone would get you in the top 10.
- NFSU2FREAK666, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1grand theft auto vice city literaly seriously.
- kewlito, on 10/12/2007, -5/+4Did you know you can type easteregg with just your left hand?
- Ajajadude, on 10/12/2007, -8/+6Why thank you for sharing that useless bit of information!
It isn't the number of diggs, it's the number of link clicks that kills the site. - tech42er, on 10/12/2007, -6/+3The title fits the season.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -8/+4Guess the author never played Warcraft 3?
- Hydroxyl, on 10/12/2007, -6/+2WOW COOL WORDPRESS ERROR CAPSLOCK

...
I can't wait for tomorrow. Anyone with me? - Scheissen, on 10/12/2007, -9/+2^please shutup. I'm tired of you people keep on saying "well lyk # digg =/= views" Well DUH! But a story that has just gotten out of the upcoming section should not be down so fast; compared to a story with over a thousand diggs, that one is going to have more views so ya LOL@u
- j01101010, on 10/12/2007, -15/+4the site is down after (at most) 2 minutes on the front page.
