Electric Adventures, The Games – Chicken
Electric Adventures
This is the 14th video in a new series where I am going to highlight each of my classic games I wrote for both the original Spectravideo and MSX computers.
In this video we have my version of an Atari 2600 game by Activision, called Chicken. The concept is quite simple i.e. you need to get the chicken across the road without getting squashed.
And it is important in that it was one of the first use of my small machine code routine for automated sprite movement.
The source code is available to download and play with at my website here:
