Definitely "directed compression" fiver or a minor variation on same, then. Much like that green ice cream cannon in your new avatar.
(The cannon is green, not the ice cream, obviously)

Wrong, guess again. Oh, and that's not an ice cream cannon. It's a cotton candy powerup next to a...well...I'm not sure what that green thing is.
This new avatar is part of a secret room in Episode Two of the game Bio Menace. The protagonist, Snake Logan, can find a room staffed by id Software and Apogee Games. On shelves above them are powerups and enemy sprites from Commander Keen, Duke Nukem (there's also this awesome Duke poster), and so on. Of course this is an Easter Egg akin to finding GameFreak programmers inside Pokemon. I'd love to have used the whole thing, but if I shrank it down to 100 by 100 it'd be a meaningless blur. Essentially this is just a tribute to the many, MANY great id/Apogee games that've enriched my life.

I wouldn't be surprised if programmers inserted themselves into their games more often.

Obvious in a Chinese menu sense, yes.
