Hidden "Missile Command" Easter Egg on YouTube

Recently I have just came across this very interesting hidden easter egg on YouTube. I found it in the comment section of a video but I forgot which one but to whomever that was I'm sorry I can't source you. Any who it's a very simple egg where the current video you watch gets pushed down and this game screen pops up where you have to shoot by clicking your mouse these missiles that are "attacking" the video you are watching. And each missile you miss it either does one of three things:

One, the first thing is well nothing it doesn't hit your little shooters or the video.

Two, you weren't able to stop the missile and as a result it, hits one of your shooters and smoke begins to come out.

Three, the last thing, and I'm guessing the objective of this game, is the missiles come down and hit the video you're watching and your job is to prevent this from happening. Every hit the video hit there's a crack on the screen and from the health bar wayyyy above it, if the bar disappears then your video "blows up" and stops playing.


You can obviously resume the video by clicking the play button and everything goes back to normal but I thought this was a very cool easter egg by Google.

Now if you're wondering how to play around with this easter egg, just follow the steps below.

1) Go to ANY video on YouTube and click the pause button and then the play button
2) The video should start playing and you need to enter the code 1980
3) Click to play and enjoy!

Enjoy.
