Chuckie Egg 3 is a homebrew sequel to the classic Chuckie Egg Spectrum games (Chuckie Egg and Chuckie Egg 2) by A’N’F Software. It was written by Richard Langford and first released in 2026. It can be played either with modern graphics, or with Spectrum graphics.

Alfred Chicken, Amiga CD32
Cute, colourful, and a lot of fun, Alfred Chicken is a scrolling platform game developed by Twilight and published by Mindscape in 1993.
The game starts out easy, but by the third level you’ll be tested by more challenging puzzles and trickery. Alfred Chicken is not quite a kid’s game, even if it looks like one.
Chuckie Egg, Dragon 32
The Dragon 32 version of A&F Software‘s classic Chuckie Egg was released in 1983. And – like all Dragon games – it is decidedly green.
Chuckie Egg, MSX
The MSX version of Chuckie Egg was produced by A&F Software and released in 1984.
Graphically, the use of colour in this version is strange, but at least Henhouse Harry (the main character in Chuckie Egg) benefits from some extra colour. His animation is a bit stunted though. Harry moves around quickly enough, and the controls are very responsive, so running and jumping feels good – as it’s meant to in Chuckie Egg.
Chuckie Egg, Amstrad CPC
Amstrad Chuckie Egg is not bad, but is somewhat let down by flickery graphics and unrefined gameplay.
Chuckie Egg, Atari 8-bit
I’m not sure why Henhouse Harry has been made as large as he is in the Atari 800 version of Chuckie Egg, but he looks ridiculous…
Chuckie Egg, Amiga
Amiga Chuckie Egg is a bit hit and miss. Actually, it’s more ‘miss’ than ‘hit’ in my opinion.
Chuckie Egg, Commodore 64
The Commodore 64 version of A&F‘s Chuckie Egg retains the style and structure of the ZX Spectrum original‘s platforms and ladders, but goes for a chunky Henhouse Harry character sprite. Like in the Atari 800 version: the oversized Harry looks a bit ridiculous, but moves around well enough.
Chuckie Egg, PC
The 1989 MS-DOS conversion of Chuckie Egg plays okay, but I’m not sure what is going on with those graphics. They’re horrible!
Chuckie Egg, BBC Micro
Once again the BBC Micro version goes for a chunkier screen mode than try to emulate the ZX Spectrum original with less colours.
