First of all, if you don't know what Crystal Castles is, please refer to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_C ... ideo_game)
Alright, now on to what happened earlier tonight: My friend and I were playing some games and he needed to take a phone call, so in the interim I pulled out my computer, fired up MAME (arcade game emulator) and started playing some Crystal Castles, because my friend had mentioned it earlier and I needed something to do. I played a few games, and as soon as my friend got off the phone, I got another Game Over, only to see this screen:

At the time, I was trying to read it and forgot to take a screenshot of it. But I was able to read enough to where I could tell that the screen listed the game's developers, so I searched online for existing easter eggs that had been found, and I couldn't find anything like that. After that I played some more games with my friend for a while, then headed off to bed. But I couldn't get over the fact that I didn't get a screenshot of it, so I decided to play the game again and tried to imitate how I played it the time before as well as I could, and unbelievably, I actually triggered the screen again and took a screenshot of it.
So, first of all, please don't automatically assume that this is fake. There are absolutely absurd processes in some older video games that lead to easter eggs, and this might be one of those cases. Besides, if I were trying to fake this, why would I be sharing it to a community that I enjoy being a part of? Second, I know that this discovery is a super minor thing that doesn't even really matter, but I thought that some of you may find it interesting. I especially find it so because this was a game that I played for hours on end as a child. Third, I will definitely be looking into this more (and the next time I try it again I will see if I can record a video of it), but if you're interested in this and would like to help me out in finding why this easter egg occurs, you can try copying my general gameplay on that round as well as variations on it. I will write down how I played as well as the version of the ROM in the spoiler below:
