Chuckie Egg on Acorn Electron vintage home computer.

I was a real saddo when it came to this game - I'd set players for 4 and play through as each one to see which one of me could get the furthest lol

@cmdfarsight which is testament to how much I loved this game. Many wasted hours on this.............well actually not wasted at all cos I thoroughly loved it.

This is my favourite game for the Beeb. It's not the best graphics in the world (or even for the Beeb) but that's not important. It's simple, fun and, despite being hugely frustrating, incredibly addictive! The only difference between this one and the Beeb version is the sound (by necessity). Yes, other consoles and computers had versions with better graphics, sound, etc, but here they've taken basic graphics and made them look wonderful! I just love it!

Thanks for uploading this video, really enjoyed it. When I was a kid my friend owned this for his Electron and four of used to have competitions with each other for best scores. For me I feel that the Acorn Electron version was the best. Brings back so many fond memories seeing this again, thanks again.

This is a hyperactive little game, running around like a maniac, making crazy suicidal jumps, swinging off the bottom of the ladders, getting trapped by the duck in a corner and risking making a run under it or jumping over it, so much fun. Or the tension of the lifts you've got to get off before they reach the top and crush you, but will your exit be clear?

I remember years ago my parents' friends fascinated watching me play this for hours one morning having stayed over after a party.

hey, it's the guy from miner2049'er!

[itsabomberscope]

Sure looks like him!

[laatmaarzien]

It looks and sounds like the main character is also starring in manic miner 2049. At least you can fall without dying right away. In some of these old games you will die after falling from 1mm!

touche, someone already noticed! the resemblance is identical!

[silntdoogood]

reminds me of a combo of hugo and donky kong haha, this looks like it could be a very addicting game

This is one of my all-time favourites, and (along with the Beeb) the best version to boot! Things really spice up later when the giant hen starts to chase you around the screen. On the third play-through you get ostriches AND the giant bird. Brown trouser time!

Err falling through the platform at 4:15, still looks solid, if not as nice as the Amiga version you put up
