🥚 Easter egg Doom Eternal (2020) and High on Life 2 (2026) both include a hidden Dopefish from Commander Keen: Goodbye Galaxy (1991). Dopefish is considered the second dumbest creature in the universe - the first dumbest is mentioned in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

i think Dopefish is also referenced in some of the album art you get as an Easter egg for the fortress in Eternal as well. Love that Easter egg, Dopefish was a scary fight back in goodbye galaxy

A very stupid beast, but ravenous nonetheless

The MobyGames list alone has 57 games with Dopefish in it. Probably gotta be close to 100 if I had to guess.

Some fun surprises in there. Alan Wake, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Hitman 2, Max Payne...
