Re: Hunting for Video Game Easter Eggs?
Turns out all other easter eggs in other games are a bit different from the ones you would find in classic LSL games. and are ironically more along the lines of Easter's actual reason: fertility.

Heh. The first time I found out what the term "Easter Egg" meant for videogames was in Leisure Suit Larry 6. Turns out all other easter eggs in other games are a bit different from the ones you would find in classic LSL games. and are ironically more along the lines of Easter's actual reason: fertility.
Re: Hunting for Video Game Easter Eggs?
The only Easter Egg I can think of is what happens when you get all 50 Red Jewels in Illusion of Gaia for the SNES. I won't post it here, in case I get banned for using spoilers to Troll.

Spoilers usually have a grace period 2 years after being released, so spoil away.

Re: Hunting for Video Game Easter Eggs?
OMG, I remember being deathly scared of Freedan's EarthQuaker attack. IDR why, though.
Now, raise your hand if, when you saw the scene for the very first time, you thought you were going to fight off the Jackal as he was burning to death in the Pyramid.
*raises his own hand, so does his brother, who has played the game*
I was like, "Oh, hell, a surprise boss fight. Great."
