"Chuckie Egg was a simple-looking platform game had you wandering around a chicken shed, collecting eggs and avoiding the patrolling hens. But when you reached level eight, a large duck was suddenly let loose and would stalk the player like a feathery missile, completely changing the pace and tactics of the game."
"Originally released on the ZX Spectrum, BBC Micro and Dragon 32 in the autumn of 1983, it immediately topped the charts, encouraging its publisher, A&F Software, to begin porting it to as many machines as possible."
"A&F Software was not some global corporation. It was run by two friends, Doug Anderson and Mike Fitzgerald, out of their computer shop in Denton, Greater Manchester."
"Chuckie Egg was created by the shop's 15-year-old Saturday employee, Nigel Alderton, who was fascinated by computers after discovering them in school."
