Electronic Easter egg hunt
As well as Easter Eggs that are made of chocolate (or egg), there is another
type of Easter Egg that can be found in computers, video games, DVDs, and other
electronic systems. These electronic eggs come in the form of unexpected messages, music,
pictures or games that are hidden for fun by a programmer or recording artist,
waiting to be uncovered like eggs in an Easter Egg hunt. For example, an
unlisted track or a personal message some time after the end of a CD, an
undocumented level in a computer game, or a web page accessed by a hidden link.
The following websites contain more
information and real examples.
