@exposed97 Exactly. I remember finding Warren Robinett's Facebook page in 1981 and sending him some text messages.

I'm finding it impossible to verify, but I've *heard* that Atari had a programmer look through the game before release, but chose not to take out the easter egg for whatever reason.
I also heard that the programmer was asked what he'd have done if he had been told to remove it, and he said he'd have changed it to "replaced by [his name]".
despite the dragons looking like ducks? what about the character! he's a 9 pixel square!

*just* a 9X9 pixel?!? Or epic sword-wielding 9X9 adventuring 9X9 pixel...

I read that the first person to discover it was some 8 year old kid in Utah who wrote to Atari after discovering it. And I think it's possible for the bat to pick up that grey dot and swap it with an item you're carrying, but the odds of that are pretty slim.
