myklejay Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Does anyone remember the game "Chicken" on 800xl, I used to play it daily it had really simple gameplay similar to frogger and was very addictive. I'm wondering if anyone has done a 5200 port, I would love to have the rom on my atarimax sd cart! If there isn't a conversion for "chicken" maybe a port of "freeway" from the 2600 system?

Thanks Mike, Can you help me find the "Atarimax area" you are referring to, I'm new here and can't find a damn thing on the atarimax forums, come to think of it I have a hard time searching and finding things here as well... any help would be greatly appreciated! m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Allan Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I think the 'Chicken' that was converted to the 5200 is a different game than the one above. Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2600 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 http://atariage.com/forums/topic/145936-new-5200-game-chicken/ That's the game which AtariMax converted from the 1982 Synapse XL game Chicken. You catch eggs in it. I have no idea what game the OP is referencing though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myklejay Posted November 27, 2013 Author Share Posted November 27, 2013 You guys are correct, it's definitely not the game i'm looking for. The chicken I'm looking for was released for the 800xl, it's similar to frogger or freeway for 2600, but you move the chicken from top to bottom dodging cars.

MrMaddog Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I think the picture in the OP is from a type-in program from Antic magazine also called Chicken. There was a second version that works on XL machines as the original only worked on 400/800. It was a BASIC program so not sure how it'll work on a 5200...

Interesting, no wonder nobody knows anything about the "Chicken" title I'm referring to, I originally played it as a kid on an 800XL. I recently acquired a nice XEGS and the flashcart is on it's way so I should hopefully be able to play this game now right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
