It’s official people, If you were old enough to remember the popular days of Donkey Kong on the Atari 800 system then you’ll be surprised to know that there is an actual secret Easter Egg that has been kept hidden until now… 26 Years later. The easter egg was placed into the game by the game programmer, Landon M. Dyer, and it required many steps of achievement to actually be achieved… So here’s a list of those processes here (or you can just watch the video below to see what happens):
1. Play a game and get a score of 33,000 through 33,900. This score must become the new high score. [Some other scores will work as well, see below.]
2. Kill off all of your remaining lives. However, your last life must be killed off by falling too far – by walking or jumping off a girder that is too high to land safely. If the last life is killed any other way, the egg will not appear.
3. Set the game difficulty to 4 by pressing the Option button 3 times. The icon for this difficulty is a firefox.
4. Wait a few minutes, and the demo screen where Kong jumps across the screen will appear.
5. The title screen will then appear, and Landon Dyer’s initials [LMD] will be at the bottom center of the screen:
