At present, many games or programs contain Easter eggs for players and users to discover. Usually, after a period of time, these Easter eggs will be exposed one after another. A few days ago, the website PC Gamers reported that Lucas Brooks, a fan of the Windows system, disclosed an easter egg on Twitter, but it was not from the latest Windows 11, but Windows 1.0, which was launched at the end of 1985.
When Brooks researched the Windows 1.0 file, he found a hidden easter egg in the Bitmap file of a smiling face, which contained a list of Windows developers and a “Congratulations” congratulatory message. Brooks said the menu is not only hidden in the Bitmap file, but also encrypted, and the decryption tool was not available when Windows 1.0 was released.
This Easter egg, which has been hidden for nearly 37 years, was finally unearthed recently. A list of people who participated in the development of Windows 1.0 also showed the name of Gabe Newell, the founder and chairman of the current game company Valve, who dropped out of Harvard University and joined Microsoft. Over three generations of Windows development and some games ported from DOS to Windows.
Which version of @Windows is the first to include Easter eggs? Windows 3.0? Nope. What if I tell you there is an Easter egg in Windows 1.0 RTM? This is what I have recently discovered: pic.twitter.com/dbfcv4r7jj
