I actually dislike memes especially 4chan ones but they get me free upvotes.

They are funny in their context,I guess but they are annoying after a while.

I remember playing Perfect Dark on the N64, searching out the random pieces of cheese that the developers hid in each level. It somehow created a kind of comic-relief from the main game and I found it quite funny.

The level of control publishers wielded on game developers in the early days is scary. Could you imagine not giving credit to the coders in today's world?

I don't think crediting the coders of today's games would be the same. A lot of the early games were one-man jobs, which carries more personal significance to those who created it.

Crediting the lead staffers of today's games is a good enough job of doling out credit where needed.

Although, I don't know if you were being sarcastic (of which I'm horrible at detecting with people in people).

I got this giddy feeling when I learned how to make Mega Man fire a Hadoken in Mega Man X.

I think that's the best one I could think of.

That was great.In the PSP version Dr Light is wearing a Karate outfit when he gives you the Hadoken.

Loco Roco level editor secret parts were pretty cool but I never got them to work the way I want them to.

He wore a karate outfit in the SNES version too.

I loved doing this though. Wasting Sigma with one hit was hilarious. Plus X sounds funny when he throws the Hadoken.

I was the one who suggested this trip down memory lane. Sure it's not on par with today's eggs but it's the first known egg, and that makes it special in my heart. My favorite though is the Chris Houlihan (spelling?) room in Zelda:LTTP

In most versions of "You Don't Know Jack" if you type "F*&k You" as the answer to a "Gibberish Question" the host will respond with a long rant along the lines of "Are you talking to me? On my show? F*&k Me? No F*&k you!" The game continues at that point, but if you keep entering the same response the host's responses escalate until he finally says "You don't seem to understand who's in control here -- goodbye." and the game is abruptly shut down. Good times.

There's some planets that have the right size and gravity that you can get Mario in a continuous orbit if you long jump out.

In the first Hero Quest(Quest for Gloy) there tons. If you type pick nose, the game would tell you that you didn't have the proper tool. If you were a thief with a lock pick and type "pick nose", the character would ram the lock pick up his nose into his brain and die..Game Over.

Only if your lockpicking skill wasn't high enough. If it was, then picking your nose was actually the best way to raise your Pick Locks skill.

I liked the Stormtrooper break room in Dark Forces. I think there was an ashtray and a few random things in it.

My favorite is the most prolific easter egg of all: The Totaka Song, found in a number of Nintendo-developed games like Wario for Virtual Boy, Mario Paint, Yoshi's Story, Luigi's Mansion, and Pikmin 2, to name a few

Perhaps my favorite one is in GTA Vice City.... it was a large egg that said "Happy easter!" on it.

The RVsB eater egg in Halo 3 never gets old.

Diablo:Hellfire Notepad file was a good one. You don’t only get the bard as a playable character the main boss of hellfire voice will totally change. Instead of treating you he will offer you tickets for a heavy metal concert.

This is an easy one. While playing Hitman: Blood Money (amazing, btw) there's a key on one of the tables. If you pick it up, no description is really given and it seems pretty useless. I happened upon a door, and i found what the key was for: inside a storage room were little rats playing poker. One of the finniest easter eggs ever.
BONUS: I shot them. They died. They bled on the pizza box next to them. I laughed.

Not sure if its an easter egg, but Mr. Resetti in Animal Crossing for the gamecube gives you a different rant if you enter cusswords where he makes you type "I'm sorry".
