Super cool! I wonder if there's a long-lost easter egg in the 2600 version?

You never know.

You never know.

I'm sure somebody would have found it by now. It's only a 2K game isn't it? And I'm pretty sure it's been disassembled.

It has been disassembled and commented, so yeah, if an Easter egg existed it would probably have been found by now.

This is beautiful! I love the author's narrative, including all the details of all the bumps and bruises along the way. Reminds me of my own attempts to get Dosbox to work in Linux...oh the sleepless nights. The SS easter egg is much more impressive, of course. Would love to try this at a classic arcade expo someday!
