+therealbountybob Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 (edited) Chuckie Egg From memory it's slow on PAL and a bit easy/long to play but a decent platformer nonetheless. Thought it had been HSC played before but can't see it so perhaps not. We'll throw in the first bonus game of the season and it's Super Bunny which is a quick play as it's bleedin' tricky. Scoring to be confirmed but Chuckie Egg is the main game and will count for the win and most points. http://a8.fandal.cz/detail.php?files_id=1621 http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-400-800-xl-xe-chuckie-egg_1055.html [H] IS PAUSE! Tips You can fall or jump/fall from any height, the gravitycurve is nice so you can get around the screen using this to access lifts/escape from mother hen. You can hold up to grab onto ladders mid jump, you can jump from ladders, can jump down long ladders handy sometimes. Lure and turn the monther ducker (she is released on level 9). Wait for the lifts to appear before jumping on them. Super Bunny Mono or Colour version. Ha! The Atarimania commets show a newly discovered 100 lives cheat! The game is tricky and frustrating but you can master it and get the odd good go. After eating the carrot you don't need to get back to the left side, you do need to vanquish all the creatures to complete the level. If you don't get on the high score table (reset saves, will reboot!) you can see your last score for a second at the start of the next go!

I think it would be better without all the extra lives to give more incentive. The issue is playing through the same screens constantly under pressure which limits it's replay fun. I'll add some tips to the first post. I did expand on the pursuit idea in "Gwobby Strikes Back!" in which you can shoot the adversaries (doesn't have much level variation is it's downside). 282,810 level 22 ish. Will hit the bunny later 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Chuckie Egg - 17030 pts At least I scored more than when I briefly played the C64 version in 2016. I like the fact this guy can jump and fall really far without injuring himself, almost Impossible Mission qualities. I don't remember if Jumpman (Jr) can too, but as I mentioned often those platformers have limbs made out of porcelain and the slightest fall will kill them. Well, not that I'd personally would want to fall a few stories down and land on my feet but hey, video game characters should have some super powers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 1 hour ago, tompateus said: Jumpman jr. don't like heights Hm. I must be thinking of some other platformer where you actually can make huge jumps and falls as long as you land on another platform. Lode Runner? Somehow I doubt this is a property tracked in any wiki or archive, which platform games let you fall through the screen or not. By the way, regarding the scores posted by Gury, Deteacher and MrTrust -- I'm quite sure the last digit always will be a zero even though it may look like an 8 or 9 given the low resolution display and colour flashing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling this game might only have been around in the UK, or at least Europe. Thus if you lived in another part of the world, you probably were unlikely to see it, even in a pirated form.

mimo Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 It was a massive hit on the BBC micro in the UK. I always remember thinking how crap it was compared with bbsb and miner 2049er Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
