Dactyl Nightmare 2 - Race For The Eggs! © 1994 Virtuality.

The Race for the eggs, suitable for 1-4 players on the SU2000 unit. The world is about to be invaded yet again. Pit your wits against the prehistoric Dactyl as it lays eggs everywhere. Find an egg and simply take it back to the central chamber to score big points!

You have 4 different themed chambers to visit and opponents will try anything to make you drop an egg - even shoot you. The Dactyl alerts everyone when you pick up an egg by shrieking-so watch out. Look out for the golden egg its worth 3 normal eggs. All the time the clock is ticking away. You won't sleep through this nightmare.
