Adventure (Atari 2600) Finding the Hidden Easter Egg

[nemesisgenius]

There was also a 4th castle, an extra secret room that was almost impossible to find. It was a silver castle with 4 separate cord doors in the middle of the screen with 15 dragons coming after the box. They were black, brown, green, and yellow dragons and the goal was to find a treasure box to bring back inside the room of the yellow castle. A bridge and the sword was needed. A friend of mine back in junior high came over my house to play Adventure on my Atari 2600 and found it.

Anybody else playing Zork too because of Ready Player One???

I laughed my ass off each time the bat stole the bridge. It's funny because I remember that happening to me.

Wow, he just pwned that red duck. I swear to god though, it looked like a real dragon out of Skyrim to an 8 year old kid back in 1979

[MerkinMuffly]

Reading READY PLAYER ONE. Oh, man, back in 79 this was the shit, I was 8 years old and spent hours on this game. I never did find this easter egg though and no internet back then to look up cheats, no other players to interact and discuss with, things have really changed. Still the best Atari game ever though.

I made it. Funny how it gets you back two screen spaces when you wish to move back to the Robinett credit ...

[Steelwheels591]

That red dragon is a wuss!

[Platitudinous9000]

Hooray! You beat the dragon!

[WatchVenusSpa]

WARREN ROBINETT BITCHES!!!

[kickodude]

Thumbs up if your here because of "Ready Player One"!

[nbaietti]

WHO?!?

[bagrisham]

@kickodude my thoughts exactly

[kickodude]

@bagrisham Holy crap. Someone else in the world who heard of the book!? WOAH!

[bagrisham]

@kickodude It was an AWESOME book and I can't wait for the movie. The day it came out 20th centry Fox bought the rights to make the movie. ITS GOING TO BE EPIC!

[kickodude]

@bagrisham Can't agree more :) What would your ideal cast be? BTW making a movie is gonna be hard considering all the references the book makes to so many other mediums

[bagrisham]

@kickodude hard decision on the cast....but I hope that some of the cast of the old movies ( Matthew Broderick) and the author appear. I would like to have a new cast, but all star is good too. I hope that they can get all the references for the movie. Still, can't wait. Hoping for early 2013 release.

@kickodude What?

[laford6]

Thank you for this...takes me WAY back...I couldn't stop watching this. That game seemed so advanced at the time, now it looks so simple.

[sideslide23]

just remember if you hit the restart switch, all the dragons will be alive again.

[BBsgalore]

Finding this room was like puberty to us.

[SecretTimeWarp]

[mariomaster99999]

This is what u call the REAL way of beating this game, couldn't keep my eyes off this for 0.1 seconds! I could barely even blink how good this was.

[smokedetectorLOL]

Now that's the REAL way of beating this game.

[bjorn48]

Yup, that was roundabout. I can't believe I never stumbled upon that pixel in the numerous hours I spent messing around in this game, especially with the bridge.
