Scrambled Egg is a single-screen arcade maze game released by Technos Japan in 1983. In this early arcade action title, you play as a character named Charlie, whose goal is to hatch all the chicks on the screen to progress to the next stage. Rather than simply eating dots, you must kick the scattered eggs around the maze, cracking them three times against obstacles to release the chicks inside.
How to Play
Use the Arrow keys to navigate the maze and press Z or X to kick eggs or throw your eyes to stun enemies. When an egg is kicked, it will slide across the screen until it hits an obstacle and bounces back. It takes three strikes to fully hatch a chick, which you must then collect. You can also crush wandering enemies by sliding eggs into them, but be carefulโenemies can seal up your cracked eggs or even poison your hatched chicks, making them worth fewer points.
Tips
- Setting up chain reactions by kicking one egg into another is an effective way to crack multiple eggs and deal with enemies quickly.
- Don’t leave eggs ignored for too long; if they hatch on their own, they might unleash new hazards into the maze instead of giving you points.
