Great Gaming Easter Eggs
Gamespot is running a piece detailing some of the most well known Easter Eggs in gaming history. The list starts with the first egg in a game, the Warren Robinett room in Adventure. From the article: "In the depths of the black castle in Games 2 and 3, which required special tools, direction, and a certain amount of know-how, players could maneuver to a room by the catacombs that had a single-pixel gray dot, the same color as the game's background. The dot would allow players access through a wall to a superfluous area with the text "Created by Warren Robinett" running down the middle. Robinett was partially motivated by the fact that, at the time, designers weren't given credit for their games."
Would have to go to the infamous Hot Coffee mod of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
How can it be that no one has mentioned The Dopefish?
In the original Daytona racing game (for the Sega Saturn), I don't remember exactly what you had to do, but you could acquire a new car which was actually a horse.

It was pretty fast, and it could run on the grass just as fast as on the road (pefect for cutting corners
When selecting the horse, you could choose manual or automatic transmission, just like any other car. I thought it was hilarious.
