Easter Egg

I want to write more about oldschool game ecologies and what we might learn from them now, but just wanted to share this screencap I just made:
 

 Easter Egg for all seasons

It feels a lot different when you managed to do it on your own (especially having to fight with a bat to prevent it from ruining your chance.  That microdot is hard to find if you drop it!).  
 
Here's a map by Maurice Molyneux on how to do it (along with some other useful tips):

And here's one place to try it out.  
 
My current record for level 3 difficulty with both difficulty switches on A is 783rd place under "ahooded."  Open challenge for someone to beat my time, and it won't cost you a cent.
 
I may be into oldschool on a nostalgia level, but I've actually got some decent replay value from this.  It's too bad I never had it as a kid; I think this and Combat are now my favorite Atari 2600 games.
 
Anyway, anyone particularly proud of any Easter Eggs they found, either through instructions or completely on their own?
