Apple Includes Hidden Games in Terminal
Well, it's more a part of emacs and code written by Richard M. Stallman, but a cool article over at digg.com shows a full video of how to access hidden games within Mac OS X's Terminal program:
Mac OS X Hidden Games - video powered by Metacafe
Otherwise, just follow the following instructions:
Type into terminal:
ls /usr/share/emacs/21.2/lisp/play
Get the name of what you want to play
type:
emacs
press escape and x at the same time
type your game ex: tetris
I you've heard of any other easter eggs or have ideas or comments, let us know.

That's part of emacs, and RMS (Richard M Stallman, developer of emacs) would be on the verge of suing you if he realized you were giving Apple credit for his work!
Better watch out!

Wow! Emacs has been described as a whole operating system before... and now is described as an Easter egg? ROTFL

For thos people who don't know Emacs: First, this is not an easter egg. It's an application, called Emacs, a real good text editor with many features... for example there is a m-x doctor, an AI based phsychologist, then a built in calendar, a mail reader and so on... and there are many other text only applications reachable from command line... soooo many easter eggs!!! Nasty Apple!!! :D
