Did nobody figure out my riddle? :(

Surely someone has figured some out. There are a bunch that are really easy to find.
In the end it will be as if nothing ever happened.

Cannot figure out the serial one.

Leaving for the airport soon, will try again next time :-(

One Easter Egg is:
Press the "M" key while in the music setup screen to show a music player.
I never found the serial number one.

I've tried typing my Mega-Cart serial number in all the menus, but that didn't find anything.

Has anyone found any other Easter Eggs?

Hello fellow Denial members,

Sorry to dig up a old thread...

It's been don't know how many years since I posted here, but took out the Vic-20 out of storage and opened my Mega-cart box and saw I wrote down a couple of Easter Eggs on a piece of paper:

U- Ultima
X- Centallica
T- Tank vs UFO
K- Killer Comet
M- Music player

I went through some threads to find what have been found to add to the paper and heard mention of a serial number Easter Egg and another Easter Egg for me :D Anybody know of these and where to find them and any unearthed Easter eggs still?

Good times...good memories

Sadly, the Mega-Cart has become another part of the VIC-20's history. The site no longer exists and 6502 Dude hasn't been seen or heard of for a long time.

Many of the current posters here came after the MC and therefore don't have one. Denial is a very different community to what it was 10 years ago but still as friendly as ever and there are a number of different options available now to replace the MC (including the BackBit cartridge discussed in the Buy, Sell and Trade section).

Hey Centallica! Been a long time!

I don't know of anyone who can tell how to reach the serial number Easter Egg. I seem to recall 6502dude mentioning that there's also supposed to be a customized easter egg (customized to each purchaser), but that might be the same as the serial number easter egg. I have a recollection of 6502dude saying there was something hidden on the cart for me, and asking if I'd found it yet (that was when the cart was new). I never did find it though!

The serial no-easter egg does not work for me. I have serial no. 225. I followed the instructions, but nothing happens. The code at 6eb6 is just "tax" until 6fff. I vaguely remember Brian saying in a thread that the serial no-easter egg was different for later serial numbers...

Thanks Centallica for that posting about the Easter Eggs. I finally got to see my serial number Easter Egg after all these years.
I have Mega-Cart 010, what other numbers do people have?

I saw some had in the numbers of 250+ on here.

I can't believe Brian hand soldered everyone one of them by himself.

Mine is 13
