"Spitfire on the Channel F is like the plane mode in Atari’s Combat, except with the option to play it alone against the machine. Also, I found an easter egg in it, which might (might) be the World’s First Easter Egg in a Videogame (maybe idk)."

It looks as though it may have been confirmed as oldest-known. Also, someone purporting to be the son of the original programmer of Spitfire makes an appearance in the comments.

They seem to disqualify it because it can't be triggered in a real cart, but I personally think it just adds to one of the conditions required to trigger it.
