I'm responsible for the Asteroids easter egg in the Sun x86 lights-out-management. It is true that we sneaked it in using a rather unprofessional manner (the build system would incorporate it iff the build happened on the CIS build server). I'm older now, more experienced and probably wouldn't do that again.
I also stuck an easter egg in the Cobalt NASRaQ, back in 1999. It was taken out pretty fast (I had marked it in the code, "THERE IS AN EASTER EGG HERE," then checked it in). It did ship in the first version, though.
