    I am 53 years old. I was 10 when Adventure came out for the Atari. My best friend at the time, Mark O'Neill, had a 2600 and the Adventure cartridge. Somehow he found out about the Easter Egg, and told me about it, and we spent about a week looking for it, until we finally found it. This movie made me so happy and so sad at the same time. My friend Mark passed away several years ago. I wish he were here to see the Easter Egg as a major plot point in a movie so many years later. RIP, Mark.

Both mention Warren Robinett as the creator of the first easter egg in video games when he hid his name in Adventure. This was after Joust released.

    I really hope you have rewatched this many times to catch all of the many little Easter eggs like there's an AT-ST walker from Return Of The Jedi; the "grenade" thrown into the MechaGodzilla's eye is a MadBall; the Zemeckis cube is a nod to Robert Zemeckis,who directed Back To The Future; and lots more that even I probably missed, which is why I have it DVR'ed!! Thanks for your reaction ‼️ Sorry late commenting, been a busy two months!! Much love from Seattle!!(BTW, hope you're not anywhere near the 🔥 area and prayers 🙏 for the people of Hawaii!!)

      I totally get you. I can accept some changes like how the keys are found, since it's cool for book readers to have something new. You can't also reproduce all the references and cool scenes, and even on this point he movie did great. I still would have liked the first riddle to be kept like in the book, one made to be available for everyone, even people who couldn't leave the school planet.
      What left a bad taste in my mouth was the ending. I mean, you're going to ban the use of the game two days a week? Have you forgotten why you even started playing it? The world didn't stop being a shitty place just because you found a girlfriend. What about the other people living in slums and being beaten by their relatives? The book felt more grounded, I even got shaken when I read the part where Wade's new financial status affected his health.

    Born in 1970, I could relate to EVERYTHING in this movie. But I read the book afterwards, and have to say that it was even better.
    Or, let's say, different.
    Because the movie had little to do with the book storyline nor with the puzzles and easter eggs presented. The characters were the same, the premise was the same, but that's pretty much it. This was MUCH more video gamer framed, whereas the book was much more cerebral and laced with a lot more pen & paper roleplay tropes. I could relate to anything, outing myself as a 1980's geek AND nerd, both from the book and the movie.
    Both were great entertainment, if you could accept that neither was related anywhere closely to the other.
