Video Whizball is notable for containing one of the first Easter eggs found within a game.
Easter Egg#
After playing a match to completion, both sides must have their square be destroyed by either the other player or a red square. While both squares are destroyed, go back to the menu to start a new match and change the settings to Game 43 and Score 67.
Once this is done, the game will load the field with "REID-SELTH" at the center, referring to programmer Brad Reid-Selth. The name is fixed at the center of the field, is treated as an object, and is indestructible.

Hidden Text#
