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

Re: Mega-Cart Easter Egg Thread
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 Anybody know of these and where to find them and any unearthed Easter eggs still?
Good times...good memories
Brian

Re: Mega-Cart Easter Egg Thread
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!

Re: Mega-Cart Easter Egg Thread
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...
Re: Mega-Cart Easter Egg Thread
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?

Re: Mega-Cart Easter Egg Thread
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
