This game has a very peculiar setting. Egbert is a character who works on a production line pressing buttons and is in charge of an egg!

Left to its own devices, the egg falls slowly down the screen and smashes on the floor. But, using the joystick, you can get Egbert to it before it breaks.

Red buttons appear at random down the sides of the screen and Egbert's job is to push these.

The egg is confined to the middle of the screen, however, so Egbert has to dash to the button across a gangway where deadly Pets are patrolling, push it, and dash back to catch the egg again.

The screen display is relatively simple, but the action is fast. Egbert fortunately has three lives and earns his points by pushing the buttons.

Egg smashing, button pushing and being deaded are all accompanied by suitable sounds. As you advance from being a novice you can go up six levels of skill.

I found the game interesting without being compulsive.
