Hey guys, As there's been a serious lack of content on the site for a while, I thought I'd try add a little something. I have created a page which contains a list of all the Easter Eggs in SMS games that I know of. Check out the article here: www.smstributes.co.uk/view_page.asp?articleid=245Did you know about all of those? Know of any more I can add to the list?

Great page! I only knew a few of them. I hope we'll find more...

I don't think I'd call it an Easter Egg but I saw a video of Ghost House recently and found out for the 1st time that you can drink from the bottles and regain health. I don't think that's well known.
Edit: Snail Maze?

Awesome Ian. I always knew about the Kenseiden one but never thought much of it. I remember thinking it was some sort of icon I hadn't activated or something. Great page!

There's one for Wonder Boy in Monster Land, a free pair of blue boots after you enter the water before fighting the Kraken, I'm not sure how to unlock this exactly but it's happened a few times.

I always thought the Choplifter superman one was just part of the game. If I remember correctly the more superman appears the faster your hostages will run! It's possible to collect an entire load of them in one go with this cheat.
Another cool one I found in Choplifter is that some times it's possible to shoot the top off of mountains on level 1, never been able to figure out how it happens but have seen it quite a few times.

On Casino Games, if you fold time after time while playing poker, a dinosaur will appear running through a grass landscape. It's funny!

The site seems to be down at the moment so I don't know if this is covered. In Sonic 2 on the first act of the sky high zone, there's an extra life in the far top left of the screen. Don't collect it - instead jump over it and push up against it. Every time you do this a couple of yellow birds jump down out of the trees.

Cheers for the responses. I'll look into some of those and add them. The site seems to be down at the moment so I don't know if this is covered.

In fact, that works also on The Woods and the Red Castle. If you discover -or buy- all the lifes in the game and complete it without deaths, you can reach a maximum of 15.

Thats not so much a cheat/easter egg as a game mechanic. The first '? Box' you break is a Power Bracelet, second one is a Ghost, third one is a Free Life. Then it loops. And it does that on any level, so if a level has only 2 '? Boxes', don't bother breaking a second one, there's no point. If a level has 3 '? Boxes' or more, break the second '? Box' and outrun the Ghost so the next one will have Free Life.
Example; If you go through the first level with out breaking the first '? Box' that appears, whichever one you break first (even if it's the last one by the rice ball) will have a Power Bracelet.

Great spot! I'll definitely add that to the list. Another cool one I found in Choplifter is that some times it's possible to shoot the top off of mountains on level 1, never been able to figure out how it happens but have seen it quite a few times. I still haven't managed to pull this one off. Anyone else know anything about it?
