Crack'ed, subtitled "An Egg-Citing Adventure," is a target shooting video game developed by Robert Neve[1] and released by Atari Corporation in 1988 for the Atari 7800 and Atari ST. In Crack'ed the player must protect bird eggs in a tree by shooting predators.[2]

An Atari 2600 version was in development, but never released.[2][3]

Gameplay

Reception

In the August 1988 issue of ST Action magazine, the Atari ST version of Crack'ed received a 58% rating.[4]

In 1999 the Video Game Critic gave the 7800 release a D-, citing a "poorly-designed control scheme."[5]

After playing the unreleased Atari 2600 prototype, a writer for AtariProtos commented, "While it may have been a mediocre title for the 7800, Crack'ed actually made a decent 2600 game."[3]
