---|---|---|
An early icon for Rattler Race exists in the IdleWild screensaver IconBownz, which was included with Windows Entertainment Pack 3. The icon was completely changed for the final version of Rattler Race. A more accurate icon depicting a red-eyed, green snake exists in the leaked Windows NT 4.0 source code.
Source Code Oddities
In 2004, a large portion of the Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 source code was leaked. Despite most of them not being in NT 4.0, the source code for several Microsoft Entertainment Pack games were included as well. These oddities are also present in Minesweeper and TicTactics.
