By "Secrets", it seems that you mean in-jokes or subtle references...you all have done a good job of spotting them, but I'm surprised you missed some of the more obvious ones. If we're talking 80's game references, what about the very direct Pac-Man tribute in "House of Bloo's", when the Extremeasaurus loses its legs and chases Ghost-lookalike Bloo around the junkyard, complete with top-down view and NES-style synth music? :bloogrin

Or on the Powerpuff Girls subject, there was always the Mojo Jojo cameo in the pilot (complete with a very brief three-note musical hint of Mojo's theme music), but I doubt you missed that...more subtle was Bloo mentioning "Townsville" in his list of cities his business would be supplying in "Cookie Dough", or more subtle still, the design of the sugar box used to "flavour" the punch in "Partying Is Such Sweet Soiree" is a replica of the one used in the PPG opening sequence...
