Tiger Woods 1999 South Park 'Easter Egg'

Post by Shadow » June 15th, 2014, 7:48 pm

The 'Tiger Woods 1999' V1.0 release of the game has a so called 'easter egg' which is that the ZZDUMMY.DAT file is actually a full length video of South Parks 'The Spirit of Christmas' pilot episode.

My understanding is that a programmer at EA would have just used what they could find to use as a 'DUMMY' file to pad the CD-ROM sectors since it helps with the lasers seek overshoot problem. You know if that's the case since the LBA address is high.

EA ended up recalling the first 100,000 copies of the game.

It is uncensored though which is pretty cool, but the quality sucks since it's a VHS rip.
Just rename it from .DAT to .MP4 if you want to watch it.
