I saw the picture on the Google homepage but had no idea what it was about, doesn't come up as a clickable link on a Blackberry :no:

Just been informed via another Forum I'm on, and discovered it for myself, that the Easter Egg in Google Images is Atari Breakout.

Just go to Google Images and type Atari breakout in the search box and enjoy some retro 80's game play  :D :D :D

I just did and scored a paltry 1000 points  ;) ;)

Regards

Neal.

Much easier to go upstairs, fire up my Atari 2600 console, and play Breakout in the traditional manner  ;)

There are some quite silly ones hidden away in it - things like "tilt" "do a barrel roll", plus stuff like

Also try asking Google Maps for directions from Rivendell to Mordor
