Synopsis
- Digital Archeology - An investigation of the 3D
Mine Storm cartridge
- There is an Easter Egg hidden
inside 3D Mine Storm, revealing the names of the
programmers.
- In the past, it has already been
mentioned on the web that the names of the
programmers are "hidden inside the code", but to
my best knowledge, and again please correct me
if I am wrong, so far it has not yet been
reported that those names can also be brought to
the screen while the game is running.
Easter Egg
- The method to trigger the Easter
Egg is cleverly disguised, as you have to unplug
the 3D imager and power up the console
with just controller 1 attached.
- Then, while the title screen appears and
the title music plays, press buttons 1+2+4
at the same time and keep them pressed, and when the
title melody has ended, then also press button 3,
so that now all four buttons are pressed.
- Then the following two screens will appear,
showing the programmers' credentials:
Credits
- Again, this
analysis would not have been possible
without Vide.
- Many thanks to
Malban for once more adding tons of new
features I suggested or asked for.
