Oh, I noticed Avernum art as well: The dwarf "slayer" is the same as the Avernum Dervish.

Yes, quite a few people around here play SpidWeb games.

Myself included.

I also noticed that a lot of the Leylines graphics look like they came from Blades of Exile. Nice little coincidence, since Blades of Exile led me to the Spiderweb site, which in turn introduced me to SubTerra and ultimately led me here.

1. the scarecrow has multiple references to L. Frank Baum's book, The Wizard of Oz.
2. One of the books in the monastary is the closing verse from Coleridge's poem, Kublai Khan.

This is probably NOT an easter egg, but interesting nonetheless:

The level "Coal Mining" is almost the same as the level "Don't Worry!" from Supaplex d03 collection. (can be downloaded off elmerproductions.com)
I think the author simply modified the level and put it here, but it really seems to me like the solution is very different, as the standard one won't work for Hard Mode!

When I loaded ST1 the other day, the following message was on the screen:

Stew, herring and white bread.
Go get some today!

Reminds me of what I've told some of my friends:

Interesting. You learn something new every day. Maybe I'll go get some herring now, being (somewhat) of Dutch origin.

It seems that the zombie in "Quest for Yrolg" has the same Catch-Phrase as some of the zombies in 'Infinite Monkeys"...

Random easter egg...

Try swimming around at random, without drowning that is, and you'll eventually see a funny animation.

The description for Leander's picture in Leylines looks like it has a reference to SubTerra 2.
