    Discovered this little Easter Egg today. Go to a Youtube video (has to be in the new layout with the horizontal volume bar) and pause the video, then hold the left arrow key. You can play Snake on Youtube.

    Any other hidden little features, or Easter Eggs, on any other sites?

    You can use this video to play the game:

    If you play snake on youtube, followed by Tetris on uTorrent and then eat a whole easter egg, your hard disk will format itself.

    Don't believe me, then. Go ahead, try it...

    I remember working for a company and finding a game in their software, none of them knew about it at all!...and the computer was so hard :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 145 ✭✭Zigmund


    Apparently, there's a secret game you can play if you play Farmville on Facebook.
    You have to Click the "X" in the top right corner very fast, then shut down the computer.
    This brings you to a bonus game called "Real life".

    Unfortunately you only get the one life in it, and it can take ages to play sometimes.
    But the graphics and open-world gameplay is brilliant. And there's an almost unlimited amount of characters and events to interact with.

    youve been able to play flight simulator in google earth for a long time as well.
