A hidden message can be found in the game's ROM. The text references some of the developers: Grant Davies, Michael Smith, Peter Suwara, Paul Clarke and Ivan Kenny-Sumiga, respectively.

Grant was last seen fleeing Torus Games with a briefcase packed full of money under each arm. He remains wanted in 4 states.

Smitty made several unsucessful attempts to circumnavigate the world in a lunch box. He now lives in Peru.

Peter 'Stinky' Suwara devoted his life to the quest of spiritual enlightenment. He has lived in recluse since Spider-Man.

Paul submitted several game designs to Activision, all featuring a snowboard and a railgun. None were accepted.

Ivan was arrested after a hosting series of wild parties with crazy antics. He is currently serving 32 life sentences in a state penatentiary.

Franchise: The Elder Scrolls

The book "N'Gasta! Kvata! Kvakis!" appears in three of the Elder Scrolls games: Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim. The text seems like pure gibberish, and the game purports that it is an obscure text written in the Sload language by the necromancer N'Gasta.

In reality, the book is a passage written in obfuscated Esperanto. By making a few substitutions to the text, it can be translated back into English. The passage is actually completely unrelated to Morrowind, and seems to be an excerpt picked randomly from the Internet. It concerns the "Kva! Kvak!", which is the newletter of the 'La Ranetoj,' the Stockholm Esperanto Society. Why the developers picked this excerpt to be included in the games has never been explained.

Lead Designer Justin Knorr, frustrated with all the cuts being made to get the game to ship, put a series of hidden messages for players to find. The first messages told the player how to access a secret level select screen, and encouraged them to pick a specific level, in which he placed more messages berating the company for cutting so much content. He included the head of product development's phone number, and suggested players call it and complain. The playtesters found these messages, and Justin was fired.

The Atari 7200 port contains text hidden in the game's coding, which reads "MOMMY AND ME ARE ONE." This text is a paraphrasing of a 1985 experiment on the effects of subliminal messages on the unconscious mind, where the phrase "Mommy and I are one" was allegedly effective at raising self-motivation.

Holding A+B while starting the game will display a hidden message: "KONAMI ONE GRADIUS ONE"

This appears to be a diagnostic screen, as some people have reported that it may say "TEN" instead of "ONE" on one line or the other. It is theorized that this screen displays the result of some kind of code verification algorithm or checksum, with each line representing the status of a different portion of the game's code.

There's a hidden message in the graphics of the US release that reads "Ste & John were ere ok". This refers to Ste Pickford and John Pickford of Software Creations, the game's developer.

The US and JP versions were developed simultaneously, and since the JP version required much more space for the text graphics, there was a lot of blank space in the US tiles, so Ste wrote the hidden message there.

In Origin Beach, there are two glyphs that are behind the walls in the top left and right corners of the level. These were put in by the developers to answer the question "Why do dolphins live in the sea?"

The left one says:
We hear song in the ocean!
We hear our kind in the sea!
Never have we heard songs in the sea!

The one on the right says:
You sing our song under the waves
Who are you?
Could we sing in the sea?
Could we live in the sea?
Perhaps we will try!

A mole named Mr. Resetti will pop up to scold the player if they reset the game without saving. On the sixth and random subsequent times, he will force the player to copy what he says by typing it in, and will not leave until they do so correctly. However, typing in the following phrases will trigger special dialogue where Mr. Resetti scolds the player even more:

"no", "NO!", "jerk", "Die!", "Loser", "RESET", "freak", "Creep", "no way", "Leave!" "No Way!", "shut up", "go away", "Pinhead", "Dirtbag", "Scumbag", "Shut Up!", Go Away!", "Butthead", "Bite me!", "U R UGLY", "groundhog", "You stink", "I + Reset", "You suck!", "I hate you", "Moles suck", "Who Cares?".

The Ancient Tongue spoken by the game's Laguz characters is actually just an elaborate English font which can easily be translated. Two of the game's characters, the heron Leanne and the wolf Volug, speak almost exclusively in the Ancient Tongue. They appear to be quiet, stoic, and wise characters. However, translating her dialogue reveals Leanne is quite excitable and sassy. Volug is similarly sarcastic; he asks at one point, "You ever wonder what would happen if I just ate everyone we fought? Would the rest keep fighting?"
