Is it true there is going to be an Easter Egg on the CD for Project Arcade?

I heard that the if you put the Project Arcade CD inside your CDROM drive and reboot that it will turn your computer into an ULTRACADE, no joke!
Acceptance of Zen philosophy is marred slightly by the nagging thought that if all things are interconnected, then all things must be in some way involved with Pauly Shore.

I hear it's actually a technical ninja weapon.  Hit the hidden button and it turns into a self-guiding star.  It also flips open into a mini-computer/GPS/PDA with full keyboard.  It also doubles as a coaster.

um....is there REALLY an easter egg....

I don't know what to look for.  I'm usually good at finding them on DVD's...but on a CD?  And it  could be a link to a site that doesn't really exist...or it could be a special .bat file on the cd...or something...anything.

A little hint (if it's real) would be a good thing.

Ok...I don't want to know HOW to find the easter egg (unless you're kind enough to tell me ;))

I want to know WHAT it is.....so i can determine if it's worth my time searching for it.  I don't want specifics (like what ROM it is...IF it's a rom)......but just tell me if it's a website, or a video, or a song, or a naked pic of Saint  :-X.
