That\u2019s why Adventure programmer Warren Robinett took matters into their own hands, which meant inventing the very first Easter egg. By following a series of unlikely actions in-game you\u2019ll get access to a hidden room which features the words \u2018Created by Warren Robinett\u2019.\u00a0This was heavily featured in the Ready Player One movie and book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Failed Proposal &#8211; Spider-Man<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/mYI3Yyx_88unBnu3Y6Xuvro4VbKbuoSVHPjLBzJJK95P65s7gRpjwsb9eJ9Qw67tBJEsUIayelS0f1Wo6QUPmA_fr-fzOIk3rWfnWF4BjIF7HQsU6it-J_0QqHZZP0SO685wdkBe\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The saddest Easter egg in this list features a proposal a Spider-Man fan managed to get Insomniac to include in their game. In-game, a movie marquee asks Maddie to marry Tyler Schultz. However, the proposal sadly came too late, as the couple had broken up before the game\u2019s release.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Arkham Blueprint Room &#8211; Batman: Arkham Asylum<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/XTwElHMW1q0WhD-LawFe1vJVU-kQKKTpUcPdUI2ubKA4x4s1wSLmSA7rjVrCOU3OU8qoaOUuikF1xf9SzIYjM7yny2wbkPETpBWcRizkhUyNfgKwWueNvjaJ4t_lAEnh4hQWEjlZ\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/games\/batman-arkham-asylum-game-of-the-year\/\">Batman: Arkham Asylum<\/a> is filled with secrets and hidden rooms, but it took over six months for this Easter egg to be found &#8211; to the point where the developer announced it via a podcast as no-one had got close. By blowing up a wall in Warden Sharp\u2019s office you can get access to a secret area which hints at the next game in Rocksteady\u2019s series &#8211; Batman: Arkham City. Very sneaky indeed, Rocksteady.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Children of Goldshire &#8211; World of Warcraft<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/mSVK4IBySKGMOMj4uye6BBDC1gfYAPQatwUdC0pInYbxQLsq0xQUj212xfbuRN9gNAwets2kO45fF7TILjqxFBZF5qxJNBCHlP5JoHmWy5gTxAi_IWb1PIrutWIB8cFRRr2ENx5d\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The spookiest Easter egg ever? Possibly. Near Goldshire, in the human zone of Elwynn Forest, you\u2019ll find a house. At certain times during the day in that house, six children will meet to stand in a pentagram formation whilst spooky music and sounds play. What\u2019s this Easter egg a reference to? No-one knows yet&#8230;and frankly, we might not want to know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">John Romero\u2019s Head &#8211; Doom 2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/3JX4xH7fcHUDffZvZqGOzVdQ2IfPsuQ_nRpBpYUkrq6fX7D8pDxmqv7l9isP3iq-whNs2gYJdoq6oPh_ii3fUTvPZgOcPg0UKMsJyT4Gkx4dxnAnDEYf3P1pwqPw-2UvrYo5eWk-\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most well-known Easter eggs in gaming is John Romero\u2019s severed head.

It turns out the Icon of Sin isn\u2019t the game\u2019s last boss, it\u2019s John Romero himself and it\u2019s him you have to kill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Not an Easter Egg &#8211; Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/9bG35MqVFgK0RaBcwrIY-YW9CLJpy3R8onywHyyFPsjQ4IOgwuLB1IYxYu28bvgUhyGEgDjdpJYydRjT67dhSL3qn14o4rlxWBJfXv3P8t2VF9ez7Km4wqlaeIw8mMDTMDHWpqc7\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This one isn\u2019t an Easter egg technically, despite being a hidden secret.

If you fly right up to the top of the Gant Bridge you\u2019ll find this hidden sign, which is definitely not an Easter egg, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Dog Did It &#8211; Silent Hill 2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/HwKOUZHAHdUqXGUL9jjX1dvpAAIeG65MzaBZ2QGgpd6RatZ6k8QVtxmxTEQ74gpqBREs5OkGgIsNi9ECd3D6l4KcpwnhiBRgWLzAORXTCDgatgVCxt1zWG2r-AK3FfUYm8GnQxhk\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, Silent Hill 2\u2019s famous ending.
