Crack'ed

This game's origins are a mystery, but one thing's for sure - it's great fun to play.

It's the player's job to defend five nests from marauding birds by shooting them down with a crosshair. If a bird is carrying an egg when it is shot, the egg falls and can be caught using the crosshair and returned to the nest. Later screens are set in a sewer and underwater, and there's also a bonus screen where eggs are thrown at a rooster.

Crack'ed is by no means outstanding, but is nevertheless a simple, fun-filled reaction game that'll appeal to a wide range of ST gamers young and old.
