Chuckie Egg is a classic platform game in which care must be taken to avoid patrolling hens in order to collect eggs strategically placed throughout each level. The aim is to score as high a score as possible throughout the hen house and its infinite number of increasingly difficult number of levels.

As Chuckie Egg, you must collect all items on each screen to advance to the next level. Levels become progressively more complex as the game continues and the number of enemies increases as well. At the beginning of the ninth level the mother hen, much quicker and nastier than previous foes, is released. Chuckie Egg has no weapons with which to defend himself and must evade the numerous fowl to prevent death. You are given three lives with which to complete the game.

Chuckie Egg was ... followed up, two years after its first release, with a sequel entitled Chuckie Egg 2. Available on a much smaller subset of platforms, this release changed genre quite radically and involved the player, as Harry again, working through a factory attempting to create easter eggs complete with toy, in a Dizzy-style graphic adventure. Whilst the first game had each level on one single screen, the new version had levels covering multiple screens. Although the sequel has gained a small number of admirers, it never received the same attention as the original.

Chuckie Egg had been a slow but consistent earner for its publishing house, A'n'F. With quoted sales of over a million copies on a variety of 8-bit platforms,1 a sequel was inevitable. Nigel Alderton, the author of the original Chuckie Egg, had been working on a Mr. Do!-style follow up that never came to fruition.2 With Alderton's move to Ocean Software, A'n'F took development in a different direction.
