   James is correct. It was Megamania from Activision. There were steam irons,   
   dice, radial tires, hamburgers and other odds and ends that would scroll   
   across at different rates, or fall from above. Once you shot all the items   
   you moved on to the next set. There were something like 8 or ten differrent   
   sets to get, then they would repeat, but faster and more erratic. As with   
   most of the Activision games it was in one sense very simple, on the other   
   hand difficult and addicting.
