Easter Eggs
The game has several known Easter eggs, the first can be found near a patch of trees near the Dwarf Tree. If the player types look at trees, he will be told that something is hid behind one of the Trees. If the player looks behind the tree he will discover a note nailed to the tree. If the player examines the note he will be given a close up, which is an advertisement listing several of Sierra's adventure games.
On top of the Mountain, there is a hole in a rock. Examining the hole opens up a plug to another Sierra adventure game. on the PC version the plug is for Space Quest Chapter I: The Sarien Encounter. On the apple II version it is a plug for King's Quest III.
If the player enquires about Graham's last or first name in the parser, the game responds with "Cracker".
If the player enquires 'who wrote this game' the game replies with an answer, Roberta.
If the player attempts to speak to the seahorse the game responds that it isn't Mr. Ed.
Try kissing Hagatha in her cave or anywhere else for a funny message.
The batmobile may appear out of Hagatha's cave.
Al Lowe was behind the music in the game, but may have also inserted a few things into the parser system. Due to this, female characters in the game can be referred in not so flattering terms in the parser. Also included in the game is a rather suggestive alternate description for Valanice.

Famous quotes containing the words easter and/or eggs:
“Why wont they let a year die without bringing in a new one on the instant, cant they use birth control on time? I want an interregnum. The stupid years patter on with unrelenting feet, never stopping—rising to little monotonous peaks in our imaginations at festivals like New Year’s and Easter and Christmas—But, goodness, why need they do it?”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“It was a comfort in those succeeding days to sit up and contemplate the majestic panorama of mountains and valleys spread out below us and eat ham and hard boiled eggs while our spiritual natures reveled alternately in rainbows, thunderstorms, and peerless sunsets. Nothing helps scenery like ham and eggs.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
