About Eggomania

Eggomania is similar to the game Kaboom. At the top of the screen is a bird which is throwing eggs at you! You need to catch them in your hat before they hit the bottom of the screen. If you miss any eggs, they will break and yolk starts collecting at the bottom of the screen. Miss too many, and the game will be over. At the end of each round you will be given an opportunity to earn bonus points; you now get to throw all of the eggs you caught back at the bird! As the levels progress, the games speed will increase. There are two difficulty levels available, in the easier variation you get a larger hat to catch the eggs with.

A well-liked Kaboom!-style catching game from U.S. Games' last days, cheap loose.

A chicken throws eggs and you catch them in a hat. The design closely follows Activision's Kaboom!, and critics said so, but they liked Eggomania anyway and praised its sound, graphics, animation and gameplay. It was named the funniest game of 1983.

James Wickstead Design Associates developed it, with Henry Will and Wes Trager as designers and Todd Marshall as composer. It was one of the last games the studio made for U.S. Games before that publisher was dissolved in March 1983. Carrere published it in PAL regions.

How it was made

Developed by James Wickstead Design Associates (designers Henry Will and Wes Trager, music by Todd Marshall) and published by U.S. Games in 1983.

What the press said at the time

Computer Entertainer Vol. 1 No. 11	February 1983	Graphics ★★★★ · Play-Action ★★★½
Electronic Fun with Computers & Games Vol. 1 No. 7	May 1983	3 joysticks
Video Games Player Vol. 2 No. 1	August-September 1983	A

“Up to this point, game play is reminiscent of Activision's KABOOM!, but there's a new wrinkle in this one … EGGOMANIA is a totally enchanting game with wildly colorful graphics.”
— Computer Entertainer, February 1983

“You won't be wearing egg on your face if you buy this top-notch game. In addition to being fun and challenging, the graphics are splendid—bright, exuberant colors with well-defined feathers on the bird.”
— Electronic Fun with Computers & Games, May 1983

“this delightful entry from the new U.S. Games group takes the popular Kaboom!/Avalanche avoidance play-mechanic and turns it into a fully-animated delight that might even eclipse its inspiration, in terms of adorable frills.”
— Electronic Games, June 1983

“While Eg- gomania is not as chal- lenging as Kaboom, Eg- gomania's animation and music (check out the turkey as he dances to the "Blue Danube") are among the funniest in home video. A good family game that's a yolk-a-minute.”
— JoyStik, July 1983

Computer Entertainer rated graphics first and play action second, from four symbols (excellent) to one (poor) — stars in most years, diamonds in 1986–87 — comparing each game only with other games for the same system. Electronic Fun rated games out of four joysticks. Video Games Player graded games like a report card, A+ down to C-.

Before you buy

Low risk, with no documented reproductions. Loose carts are inexpensive. Boxed copies cost several times as much, so the box and manual carry much of a complete copy's value; check their condition before buying. Look at the label to see whether you have the U.S. Games release or the Carrere PAL release.
