What is considered the first video game/software Easter egg, hidden in a 1979 Atari game?
Hint 1: A developer hid his name in a secret room because Atari didn’t credit programmers.
Hint 2: Warren Robinett hid “Created by Warren Robinett” inside Adventure, accessible via a secret dot.
Solution:
The first known software Easter egg was in the Atari 2600 game *Adventure* (1979). The programmer, Warren Robinett, secretly included a hidden room that, when accessed, displayed the message “Created by Warren Robinett.” This was done because Atari prohibited developer credits.
