In the post, he mention a special Mac easter egg. In a response to my email he said:
"If I remember correctly, at the start of the game, if you travel to an
ajacent screen (not sure which direction) there is a pond. If you do
something to the pond (can't remember, may require an item or talk to
it...), a hand will reach out of the water offering a Macintosh.
good luck! Let me know if you figure it out.
The pond was used in the game demo, but not for the final game. My team
thought it'd be fun to add something."
Should probably clear this part up. The demo that was being referred to was the DOS floppy demo. In the DOS floppy demo, the swamp was used as a plot point. This area wasn't important in the final DOS version. There wasn't a Mac demo.
I did some digging and threw together a quick website with my findings.
Short version is that thanks to various tools, I know what message the game displays when the easter egg happens, what sound is used (probably); what script, view, palette, position, scale & etc. are used but not how to actually get the easter egg to show up in the game normally
I emailed both Al Lowe & Josh Mandel & neither knew of this easter egg or how to trigger it.
I was wondering if anyone had ever seen this easter egg in action for themselves and knows how to trigger it?
