Missile Command game hidden on YouTube




To access the game, users can start playing any YouTube clip, click away from the video and type
 ‘1980’.
The original video carries on playing but slides down the page, making room for the classic arcade game and its instruction: “Blow those missiles out of the sky!”
Rockets then start raining down and users have to intercept them from their gun turrets. Once all gun turrets have been destroyed the game is over; and it is harder than it looks.
Other hidden gems were scattered about the site for Geek Week, including lightly-wobbling videos when ‘Use the force Luke’ is typed into the search bar.
When ‘Fibonacci’ is searched, videos are displayed in a pattern representing the mathematical sequence, while tiny ponies run across the screen if ‘ponies’ is typed.
