Atari was one of the greatest game companies of all time. In the early days you had Combat, Missile Command, and Asteroids. Later on you got things made of awesome like Ninja Golf.
I'm still not sure whether I'm a kid or a squid now.

So you know the 2600 emulator for the Wii is fairly full featured and you can play both Combat and Warlords on it. To simulate the paddle hold the remote vertically and spin.

Apparently, Adventure is not really the first game to have an Easter Egg. An earlier example was discovered within the last few years.
