Easter is upon us and while we may not be able to go outside and hunt eggs, that doesn’t mean your search is over. There are still plenty of Easter Eggs to find – in some amazing video games.
The first recorded Easter Egg in a video game is from way back in 1979 and can be found in Atari’s Adventure game. It required you to navigate a maze to find a single gray pixel. Players could pick up the pixel and navigate to a room with a flickering light.
