First known Easteregg in Gaming history (Atari) - Eronistes - 07-23-2012 11:31 PM

Software studios didn't want their staff to gain celebrity status, their names eclipsing those of the brands they'd created. Warren Robinett, then a programmer for Atari, didn't appreciate this lack of acknowledgement.

I hear about this being the first easter egg, definitely a fact that should be included on the site.
