Just clicked on my Aurora desktop shortcut to the exe and the following pop-up appeared :-
Greetings Professor Falken , shall we play a game?
Clicking on OK took me to the game details menu to choose which game to play.
Has anyone else seen this message, or is it a bit of malware ?

linkxcs ,
First time I have seen it in over hundreds of clicking on the shortcut icon. No , have not got a screenshot , clicked on OK and was taken to the Game. My virus scanners have not picked up anything unusual so far.

Dunno if it's an easter egg though, I haven't seen it before

I had it one time. I presume it's intentional, and intentionally rare.

My Theodidactus, now I see that you are excessively simple of mind and more gullible than most.

Years ago my uncle gave me a "alien" license as a present (in a card) that had that joke.

...And apparently by both genders!
...I guess there is a reason why his/her health condition declined this early.
...Not assigned to a command, but still "in Tour" for nearly 7 years.
...Despite her/his low rating, he/she hopes for Rear Admiral someday.
Enough!

Man, this made me look through my commanders and I found one with this joke in it, but I lost him scrolling through. I searched again but couldn't find him/her.
