Summary
| Why did the chicken cross the road. Not to get to the Kentucky Fried shop that's for sure! To discover just why our feathered friend made this perilous journey you'll have to key in the game - and remember, if you get a top score let us know.
This is a version of Frogger. Except this time the cute little green hopper has been replaced by flustered character of the feathered kind. Just like the frog this chicken has to cross a busy highway to get home. Will she make it? Over to you! You get four lives to start with, and get an extra life for every 200 points scored. There are two skill levels. The player must select which one he wishes to play at the start of each game. You use key 5 to move left, 6 to move right and 7 to go up. |
