Chuckie Egg

Chuckie Egg

Amstrad CPC - Released - 1985

In the game you play Hen House Harry who has to collect 12 (a dozen) eggs from each level, while avoiding the ducklings. The levels each occupy a single screen, and are made up of platforms, ladders and lifts (or elevators), and are thus similar to those in classic platform game Donkey Kong. Corn can also be collected, which stops the time limit from ticking down and also stops the bonus, collected when the level is completed, from decreasing. The ducklings also eat the corn, however. There are only 8 distinct levels. The ninth level is a copy of level 1, the tenth is a copy of level 2, and so on. However, on the second time around the ducklings that can use the platforms and ladders are replaced by the Mother Duck, who can fly around the level going through the platforms and ladders. On the third time around, you have to face both the Mother Duck and the ducklings, and similarly on subsequent goes round, when there are more ducklings.

Chuckie Egg II

Chuckie Egg II

Atari ST - Released - 1989

Chuckie Egg II is a sequel to platformer game Chuckie Egg, but is very different from the original game.

Also, the eight parts of a toy kit must be found, to place inside the egg. In order to get all the items you must find your way around the factory, avoiding many types of enemy, and solving puzzles using various items that you can carry. There are a number of ways to get around the factory, including the platforms of the original, but also ropes and pipes, among other things. Despite the drastic changes from the original, the game still retains the sound effects from the original.

Cylon Attack

Cylon Attack

Acorn Atom - Released - 1982

Cylon Attack is a pseudo 3D space shooter played from a first-person perspective and clearly based on the American TV series Battlestar Galactica where the Cylon race is featured, but not carrying an official license. The player is the only interceptor pilot on an Earth supply mothership. He has to survive the different attack waves of the enemies while defending the ship. At the start of each wave he is launched in a fighter ship and needs to destroy all enemies to survive the wave, while flying around freely. There is only a limited amount of fuel available, but the player can return to the mothership at any time for a refuel, leaving the main base exposed for a moment. A radar map near the top of the screen shows the position of enemies and the main ship. The player's ship can climb up and down, and turn. When an alien vessel approaches, the sights (cross-hair) changes, indicating when there is a good chance of a hit. When it changes a second time, it locks onto the enemy. Only a laser weapon can be fired and it takes some time to recharge. The screen shows the player's score, the high score, the status of the mothership, the remaining strength of the shields, the amount of fuel left, and various indicators for climb/turn ratio and the lasers.

Minefield

Minefield

Acorn Atom - Released - 1981

Minefield is a tank game where the player has to clear all the mines on the screen. The player sees the minefield from a overhead perspective and the tank automatically moves forward until it reaches a wall or the player changes the direction. Mines will appear all over the field and the player has to clear them by shooting at them. The problem is that this creates chain reactions when other mines are within the range of the detonating mines. The player therefore, not only has to avoid driving into mines on the ground, but to keep a distance when shooting at them. The player can't take too long though since the mines will self detonate when their timers run out. The tank also has limited amount of fuel. A level is cleared once all mines have been detonated. The player has three tanks at his disposal and when all of them have been blown to pieces the game is over.

Painter

Painter

BBC Microcomputer System - Released - 1983

Painter is a variation of the classic Amidar originally created for the arcades in 1981. Painter's gameplay is very similar to Amidar's bonus stages where the traditional boxes in the screen have points associated with. It can also be compared to Potty Painter in the Jungle which was one of the first Amidar variations for ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64. Painter's main goal is to fill all the boxes in each frame in a certain period of time by completing the pathways (lines) around them. This must be done before the "Bonus" value reaches zero. To complicate things the "Painter" has to avoid any collision with the "Chasers", some entities present in the game that will try to intercept him and destroy his work. The "Painter" will be forced to restart the phase all over again and one of his lives will be lost in the process. To defend himself during his gameplay and specially from the incredible speed the "Chasers" might get at the last skill factors of the game, the player has in his power a special tool: a gap creator. This weapon will create a temporary gap in the pathway lines preventing the "Chasers" from colliding with him. It can only be used three times at a time before any temporary gap is removed. The limit of Painter's skill factor is 6. "Chasers" intelligence and speed will increase proportionally to the skill factor and dramatically at this point of the gaming. Prepare yourself to be ambushed.
