Fun to find, fun to use. A source of Satisfaction for all involved.

Whats some of your favourates?

Mine:
The game: S.T.A.L.K.E.R

In the Wild Lands west of The Bar I found a body near the "Fine the Family Rifle" quest. The body was intitled Gorden, and he had an active PDA on him. Here's an extract:

"God dam my bosses, first Black Masa and now this small little Ukranian town..."

"I had to give away my little crowbar for a can of meat..."

ROFL! It's Gorden Freeman!

Anyone else got any?

Practically every other character, place, and dialogue in Fallout 2.

Shuttlecraft from Star Trek, xenomorphs from Alien, the brothel guy taken out of From Dusk 'Til Dawn, the Monica Lewisnky references, Mike Tyson (The Masticator!) eating your ear, the porn studio...

I could go on. For a while. But I don't really want to

 

Duke nukem 3d when you find a dead space marine (from doom)

World of Warcraft had a fair few that made my chuckle, like dr.sprock of the away team whom you get teleported to in one of the dungeons and many others.

quest for glory had some damn great ones.

there is just to many to name them all

 

I will second the Duke Nukem 3d finding of the space marine. I was in university playing it with some of my friends when we found it and Duke's crack of "That's one doomed space marine." had all of us howling with laughter.

 

Duke Nukem 3D's full of funny easter eggs. Practically every line Duke says is a reference to a movie or game. "We meet again Dr Jones" with the fake (very fake) German accent is my favorite. Picard's "really ready room" is a good one as well.

Another favorite of mine is going into Weird Ed's room in Day of the Tentacle, using his computer, and suddenly finding yourself playing Maniac Mansion. Classic stuff.

Might and Magic 6 has its share of references to a number of fantasy books and movies (quite a few Princess Bride ones as well)

As Equester said, too many to list them all.

 

WWF Attitude, PS1, about 1999. One of the unlockable characters was "Head", the manaquin head that Al Snow used to carry to the ring. Wierd voice, funny lines, souped up stats, but all you see on the screen is the head, hands and feet...

 

Thief 2: The Metal Age.
The mission where you have to infiltrate into the guard compound. Throw a mechanized eye over the fence on your left at the beginning of the mission, and you can see a group of dancing zombies.


Fallout 2 is full of classic stuff.
My favourite is the bridge guy, as a reference to Monthy Python and the Holy Grial movie.


Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn.
In Ribald's shop, the portraits of Hank (Archer) and Bobbie (Barbarian) from Dungeons & Dragons the animated series.

I always laughed at BG2's parody of The Blair Witch Project , what was the name of the town again?

Zelda Link's Awakening's was always funny because some character broke the fourth wall by telling you sentences like; « Press start to bring the menu, though I've no idea what it means »

In Fallout 2, or was it Fallout 1 ?, Anyway the robot that made comments à la Hal of Kubrick's Space odyssey

That's all I can think of at the moment.

 

Wow, I'm surprised that the Cow Level in D2 didn't got mentioned yet. I was speechless when I first entered it, then bursted out in laughter for a good 20 minutes. Ahh, those were the days.

 

Mine was the bit in BG2: TOB when you are in watchers keep, if you time it right and try to access the map you see a photo of the design team instead.

 

In the beginning of System Shock 2, if you looked through a certain window at the right time you saw an administration robot doing the the macarena.

 

IIRC, this one's in a Night Elf campaign in Reign of Chaos, right?

 

You want Warcraft III Easter Eggs? Keep clicking of the units.

e.g:
Morter team: "Morter combat!" In referance to the Mortal Kombat series

Knight: "My favourate colour is blue, no yello... (He yells as if thrown off into the distance. Monty Python and the Holy Grail)

Peasent: "Help! Help! I'm being repressed!" Again it's Monty Python

Peon: "Me no sound like Yoda! Do I?

...And on and on and on. Practicly every character has a referance to something else.

Also if you want Starcraft in Warcraft 3, finish the campain in hard mode and watch the credits

 

I believe there was a picture of Mario in Zelda: The Ocarina of Time within the castle.

Also, isnt there a picture of Elvis on the top floor of Five Flagons Inn in BG2? (I could be wrong about this as I havent been there in a while)

 

Speaking of which, I do enjoy clicking on the dreadlord until he says "I have wings, why am I always walking?" and Aldaris of Starcraft until he says "I know it's not 3D" and "This is not Warcraft in space"

 

Let's not forget the Pandarean Brewmaster... I BRING PANDAMONIUM!

A Hydralisk??? Where?

Or that one when you hear a cellphone ringing and the Dreadlord says "Yes? Argh! For the last time, I a DREADLORD not a DRUGLORD!"

 

The Dryad has the greatest line. 'I'll attract them with my human call. I'm so wasted, I'm so wasted!'

 

Ultima 7: The Black Gate
A farmer remarks about getting attacked by a group of cat like humanoids. In a near by field is a Kilrathi ship from Wing Commander.

Ultima 7 Part2: Serpents Isle

In Captain Stokes house, there is a "glowing cube", which turns out to be a computer monitor. It shows adds for Wing Commander: Privateer, Strike Commander, and Ultima 8, to which the Avatar remarks "Ultima 8? PAGAN?! This doth not bode well..."
