As well as hidden features in many
computer operating systems and applications, Easter Eggs feature in
computer games*. Long before CyberGuru existed, Chris, our
Proprietor/Chief Guru used to provide game "cheats" to win in computer
games. Whilst those days are long gone, and seeing we are in the Easter
Season, we thought instead we would provide some more Easter Eggs!
If you feel it would be worthwhile to
provide some cheats for some games, drop us a line and let us know!

PLAY TETRIS ON YOUR MAC:
Open the

[X] together. Type "Tetris". Use the arrow keys to move and rotate the
blocks, and press the space to make the blocks fall. To find other games,
