If I type RULES on my HP 48 or 49G+ I get a list of software engineers
for these particular calculators. Are there any other Easter Eggs?

Key [ON] & [F4 ] simultaneously, then one of the keys [ B ] [ C ] [ G ] [ J] [ M ] [ R ] [ S ] [ T ] [ V ].

In the 49G call Easter Eggs. But in the 48G, I don´t now.

And 50G?.... If you type RULES in the HP 50G, you get a list of
software engineers.
But , Are there other Easter Eggs in the 50G?

HP48[S/G][X/+]
http://www.hpcalc.org/hp48/docs/faq/48faq-4.html#ss4.2

HP49G/49G+/50G/48Gii
http://www.hpcalc.org/hp49/docs/faq/#ss5.7

The "ACO" development team images mentioned in another section
are only in the "boot loader" of the 49G,
but others are in main ROM
(49G,49G+,50G and 48Gii all use the same main ROM)

Oops, I think not in HP48S[X]
(its life was short, and ROM was full? :)

On the 49G, you can play Tetris by pressing the following keys:
(note: Assumption is that Flag 60 is Clear, so two presses of [ALPHA]
is required for Alpha Lock)

[EQW][ALPHA][ALPHA]MINEISBETTER[ALPHA][downarrow][SIMP] (SIMP is the
softkey @ F6)

The game should now begin. To navigate the shapes press:
[4] to move Left
[5] to Rotate shape
[6] to move Right
[2] to Drop shape
[<] (i.e. Drop key) to Exit

Seems to work on the 50G too, but runs slower.

On most (if not all) of the 38, 39, and 40 g/gs models, type AMIGOS
and see the names of the beta-testers.
