Adventure was THE first action/adventure video game, had THE first Easter Egg in a video game, and was an all-around kick-@ss experience, despite the dragons looking like ducks. Check out the review and Easter Egg here!

  • 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...

  • lol wow i wonder how ANYBODY ever figured that easter egg lol. warren Robinet is bamf.

  • 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.

  • 5:42!

  • did not see that coming! lol

  • Thumbs up if Ready Player One brought you here!

  • @dommiesan Exactly. It was just corporate bullshit.

  • I read READY PLAYER ONE too

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

  • this game rocks. 'nuff said.

  • 1979 gamer: omg this game is 4 kilobytes!!!

    thats 4096 bytes wow huge game huge game

  • 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]".
