Eggomania is an action video game released in January 1983[3] by U.S. Games for the Atari 2600. Similar in design to Kaboom!, which itself is a derivative of the arcade game Avalanche, the objective is to catch eggs in a hat which are thrown by a chicken.

Gameplay

At the end of each round, the player has a chance to throw the eggs they have caught back at the chicken for bonus points. The speed of the game increases as the player progresses.

The game has two difficulties; the easier variation gives the player a larger hat for catching eggs.

Reception

Electronic Games in June 1983 called Eggomania "delightful," stating that the game improved on Kaboom! and Avalanche as a "fully-animated delight that might even eclipse its inspiration" with "state-of-the-art graphics on the 2600".[4]
