I used to play this at my friend's house all of the time. It was a table top game that was similar to the coleco ones, however i'm not sure it was a coleco table top game. It had green leds and you controlled a caveman . It had eggs in it and i think you had to do something with the eggs, maybe carry them. It had a joystick and the outer plastic was whitish brown. I believe the objective was to carry the eggs somewhere. I think it had dinosaurs in it. Thank you for the help.

You answered your own question without realizing it. :)

The game is Tomy's Caveman. It's like their Tron game (same plastic case style) and not a bad little game in its own right.

OMG Thank you! I had one of these as a child and I've spent almost 20 years not even realizing it until I saw this picture (and the description). Saying the memories are rushing back would be cliche, but crap...here they are...rushing at me...trying to do something related to eggs and a dinosaur...

Now I HAVE to have one. =P
