Surprise eggs, which we encounter in many games and make us happy when we find them, appeared in a very interesting place this time. A surprise egg discovered in Windows 95 in the past months has managed to surprise many people.
Today, a new surprise egg was discovered by a Twitter user in Windows 1.0, the first version of Windows that was launched 37 years ago. Let’s take a look at this egg, which contains interesting information.
After 37 years since its launch, Windows 0.1’s surprise egg has been found
Lucas Brooks, a Windows fan, shared information about these eggs and the unknown of Windows. He frequently shares his aspects on his Twitter account. This time, he surprised his followers with his sharing. Sharing the surprise egg he found in Windows 1.0, the first version of Windows that was launched 37 years ago, Brooks realized that there were names hidden inside the software. One of the most striking of these names is; Gabe Newell, the president of Valve, who has accomplished many successful works from Half-Life to Steam Deck. Newell worked at Microsoft from 1983 to 1996, then left the company to found Valve. Those who remember or had this information before may have had some emotional moments after seeing Gabe Newell’s name in this surprise egg.
After this egg, Brooks discovered another surprise egg with similar information in Windows 2.0. Such surprise eggs, hidden by software developers, seem to continue to surprise users. So much so that this egg, which was successfully hidden inside the Windows 0.1 software exactly 37 years ago, has never been found until now. Brooks, one of the biggest fans of Windows, has been searching for the existence of this egg for a long time, and since 1985 there has been no tool to discover such data. Brooks found this surprise egg encrypted at the end of the smiley bitmap file inside the operating system.
Brooks shared this surprise egg on his Twitter account:
Which is the first Windows version to include surprise eggs? Windows 3.0? No. What if I say there is a surprise egg in Windows 1.0 RTM? This is what I discovered recently.
