Those Team 17 games like Alien Breed had tons of hidden messages if you typed the right codeword in the game. If you typed in a magazine name (E.g. CU Amiga) some personal greetings (or flamings) scrolled on-screen.

I have read somewhere that Workbench 1.0 featured a hidden file which contained all digitised handgraphs of the Hi-Toro team (original developers of the Amiga machine). I do not know whether this is true or an urban legend.

I also know (now things get really vague) that the word 'Rock Lobster' was carved in some print-plate of the first Amiga 1000s that hit the shops. 'Rock Lobster' was a hit by popsensation the B52's and the Amiga's creators were huge fans of this band. So this was some sort of tribute.
