Hard to believe this game is as old as it is, considering the first game of this sort was actually created in '69, still, fifty plus years is something else, and, I still love playing it whenever I get a chance. And, that easter egg is memorable for me as well, discovered it with some friends back in elementary school all those years ago.

I completely forgot about Moon Lander. When I was little, my Dad would sometimes take me to his office on a Saturday (looking back it was likely just to give my Mom some time to rest and relax), and while he finished a few things in the office he'd let me play around on his workstation where he'd boot up either Moon Landing or some other game that involved tanks, though I forgot the name.

Can it even really be called an Easter Egg if the only attempt to hide it is placing it several screens to the right? If this game were more well known, this would've been easily discovered decades ago by some kids with too much free time on their hands.

Love the shorter video, great bits of history throughout! Title is a bit overly clickbaity, could be 'a McDonalds'. I think the video also invites the debate of what is an easter egg/reference/secret/developer leftover etc and how the terms are often conflated or blurred. More videos like this please!

Hey dude I really like your content. It's been an inspiration for my channel as well. That being said, I found not an Easter egg but something creepy on my channel in the game Duke Nukem Zero Hour. While browsing through the unused objects in the game, I found a model of a guy hanging from a tree in a noose. Apparently it was one of the developers for the game, the 3d designer put it in there as a funny little inside joke. Some other dead bodies have developers faces designed onto them, and the 3d designer of the game actually has a KZbin channel called "BaldLord Extreme". I think this would be awesome to feature on your channel.

I find it hard to believe that the idea of adding secrets and funny things to videogames for others to find started 50 years ago, that's a long time. Plus what a great first easter egg that was, imagine the surprise of the first person to fly all the way through the moon, find a McDonalds AND see the little astronaut get two cheeseburgers and a Big Mac, or crash onto the McDonalds and see that special message, so cool.
