I was a massive fan of Chuckie Egg on the BBC Micro when I was about 10 years old. There have been a couple of ports, but it wasn’t until 2009 that Mark Lomas released the ultimate version built on an BBC emulator for the PC.
This is my guide to each Chuckie Egg level:
Level 1
- Difficulty:
- Best score: 2,260
- Number of hens: 2
- Speed of hens: slow
Level 1 strategy
The first level is dominated by a central ladder running through all five platforms. Two hens start in the top left of the level, moving slowly towards the bottom. They can sometimes get in the way on the central ladder, but several nearby platforms can be used to wait them out.
The bottom two platforms have plenty of ladders to avoid getting trapped and to practice running and jumping.
Hi,
Nice series of level guides — hope you find time to continue it! The best score on this level is definitely more than 2260 though. Remember that to get the best score it’s important to collect the birdseed as it pauses the bonus clock for a while.
Thanks! I can’t believe I’ve never noticed that collecting the birdseed pauses the clock. Hope you enjoy the rest of the guides as I make them.
