There are many games about chasing an interplanetary criminal, but few that also feature a clairvoyant bird giving you hints. The Tracer Sanction is one of such cases.
Hidden Screen#
On the title screen, type burger. This game, alongside the Apple II version of Mindshadow, mark the first known instances of this image, which depicts Interplay boss Brian Fargo chopping off programmer Rebecca "Burger" Heineman's head with an axe, and appears in several more games programmed by her, such as the Apple II port of Borrowed Time, the Macintosh port of Wolfenstein 3D, and the 3DO port of Out of This World.
Hidden Ending#
At any point in-game, type burger. The game will immediately end in a manner that appears to be a reference to the aforementioned secret image.
