When I discovered this easter egg around age 14 it was what made me want to become a computer programmer. I saw this name and suddenly I thought about the game in a different way, as something you could create, not just play. I remember the moment like it was yesterday! I was making (really) simple joystick games for my Commodore 64 soon after. If I remember right, the secret room has something to do with getting the bridge halfway off screen at the far right edge of the starting screen. I love it!

I admit to being scared as a little kid of the dragon-ducks. Them and the dragon on Tic-Tac-Dough. I had a dragon-filled childhood. Adventure was neat.
