Easter Eggstravaganza

Happy Easter

I’m sure regular visitors over the years knew this Easter-themed posting was coming. Well, here is Easter Eggstravaganza, released in 1993 by Codemasters. It was especially made for ST Action, a magazine which I absolutely love. It wasn’t a new game giveaway but more of a rip-off, which I mean in a good way. Essentially, it’s a copy of their earlier, excellent game Fast Food with Easter-themed graphics featuring chicks, eggs, and other Easter-related items. Typically, it bypassed the real reason for the season - Jesus.

Anyhow, like in Pac-Man, we navigate a maze collecting eggs and stuff, while dodging cute enemies that either chase us or cleverly block our path. Various power-ups assist, and Dizzy’s quick and agile movements make this very playable indeed. If you liked Fast Food, you’ll likely enjoy this freebie, even if it's only more of the same with Easter visuals. It’s a simple yet eggcellent (sorry) game and perfect for a quick score chase.

You know, I rather enjoyed this eggceptional freebie maze chaser. Great fun!!!

Happy Easter, everyone ✝

• Interested in trying Fast Food, then grab the floppies or a hard drive version.

Grab those cute chicks and other stuff, but watch out for the baddies!

I thought those were burgers, but no, they're hot cross buns! Oops...

Another eggcellent level, but very tough too, I thought.

That floor background is rather OTT, isn't it?

ARGHHH, this level will take some practice to beat!!

My first game high score... Can you beat me?
