    Wow. Epic Fail on my part. I knew some of them, but I guess I haven't played enough games. Anyway, cool article.

    Awesome article. I only managed a few of them though. Never played enough classic games.

    It was a nice article, but it was somewhat boring.

    What the hell? How are you guessing them? Are all 25 clips supposed to play at the same time? Or does just this not work in Opera?

    Pretty much the only real reward for finding secrets in most games is that "little pat on the back because you're clever" noise from Zelda and Tomb Raider, etc...
    Made me feel clever for clicking on this article.

    Hey... LuckyNumbr73 - is that a ZZ Top reference? I seem to remember Zoe Ball asking the band how many albums they would make and which number they'd stop at and Billy Gibbons said "Lucky number seven...ty three". Might just be coincidence :P
