What's an Easter Egg ?
Easter Eggs are hidden and funny things, placed in the source of some programs by the developers and programers just to introduce themselves. You should do something to make the Easter egg run. For example pressing some keys together or typing something special. After that a funny scene will appear. And some of them have a little game inside. Usually the developers try this way to introduce themselves to the users. Here we've provided Easter eggs of some famous softwares. All of them have been tested and run correctly. Try them and enjoy !!!
