Big Bird’s Egg Catch is an educational Atari 2600 game published by Atari, Inc. in 1983, licensed from the Sesame Street television series. Players guide Big Bird left and right across the screen to catch eggs as they fall — a simple reflex game designed to give very young children a gentle first experience with a joystick.
How to play
Move Big Bird left and right to position him under each falling egg and catch it before it hits the ground. The game is deliberately unhurried and forgiving, aimed at preschool-age players. Press SELECT (F11) to cycle through difficulty settings and adjust the pace to match the player’s age.
