There are Easter eggs in military avionics.

The B-52H bomb/nav computers had a really rudimentary golf game. Think Atari 2600 quality.

The B-2A had a breakout-like game at one time.

Both were accessed via some really esoteric key presses.

I don’t have a public source. I worked on those aircraft.
