What are they?

When we speak about an Easter Egg we refer to a message or content that it finds hidden in video games, although we can also mention that this applies to movies, DVDs, Blu-ray or computer programs.

Let's talk a little about its history

The origin of this term arose after a video game of Atari ** «Adventure» ** contained the first easter egg in history, the game was that you had to go through a maze until you reach the goal. To unlock the Easter Egg the player had to travel without any direction to reach a dark room, when approaching a notary wall that a point would follow and when returning to the beginning of the entire labyrinth would see a signature of the programmer of the game.
This was because at that time the programmers were not valued for their work and participation unlike today, so "Warren Robinett" (Adventure programmer) sought to make his permanent mark within the videogame. The idea of Robert, was that his boss did not realize this little prank before the game went on sale, that's because the message could only be seen from aforementioned form.

What is the purpose of this?

For programmers, there is a kind of motivation to leave their personal marks within a game, it could be said that it is like an artistic touch left there. For players we can say that the simple fact of the existence of an Easter Egg is equal to having a challenge, something extra to complete, get or unlock within the game, at the time of doing so it is usually rewarded with a feeling of satisfaction to the see that those deposited efforts left something good to brag about.

Over the years the video game companies have chosen to copy this initiative introducing not only one but several Easter Eggs to their games as a marketing strategy and give a small boost to the sales of their delivery. Among the best known games for Easter Eggs we can find Driver, Silent Hill, Metal Gear Solid, Battlefield, Call of Duty, Half-Life, Halo, GTA, Batman Arkam, Super Smash Bros., Resident Evil, Duck Hunt and many more. others more.
