Imagine a a dense latticework of lines with tiny fine print text lables all over a white page, stuff like "stereo bus L, stereo bus R," etc. Imagine two lines trailing off the page in one corner. Imagine fine print words next to that pair saying, "Off ramp to Santa Ana Freeway". :blink:
Elsewhere in that manual was a printed footnote about how an interesting sound with the top end knocked off could be achieved by smearing some chewing gum over the console mic aperture. :blink: :blink: :blink:
Say! Speaking of codemokeys and weird humour, there's an android in System Shock 2 that gets up and does the macarena if you stop and watch long enough. Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight concealed a super killer rabbit that you could find if you listened for a creaking door. And the most famous of all easter eggs was a snippet of game with Bill Gates' head on a stick hidden in Windows 95. :D
