Spent far too much of my life playing this along with Halls of Things!
Well, for the day, it was bloody good!

Haha I forgot how frustrating it was. Especially the collision detection on the cars... I never managed to get all the worms, so never found out whether there's a new set of screens (doubtful) or if it adds more enemies.
Cheers for the nostalgic memories!
Yup. Used to play it quite a bit though never manged to complete it; iirc I used to burn out my robot quite a bit & all I really remember about the strategy is that I need disrupter shields to protect against the fullscreen distrupter cannon thingy! But, sure, more than happy to give it bash again.
No problem, & yeah, it's the kind of game whose frustration would probably out way the loading time for me
. More than happy to give it a whirl though!

One of the best games ever made
Yep, great fun, one of my faves. Think I'll have to have a look see if something similar is around these days on Steam or someplace.

I have backed the ZX Spectrum next kickstarter and can't wait to get my hands on it. I had an Acorn Electron back in the day even though i really wanted the speccy 48k but my dad thought the Electron was better for education.
I will be trying to complete Chuckie Egg 2 which i loved on my cousins rubber keyed speccy. go on, i dare you to complete it!
Do you stream on twitch? i did just follow you on there.

Yeah, it's a cool project. If it wasn't for Vega, bills, etc I might have been more than tempted to back. Wonder if they have a button to try & 'fix' the attribute block 'problem?' Not that I know enough about it to know if it can be fixed
I think a YouTube video/live stream is in order when you do
I knew a couple of people who had C64s but they just weren't as fun as the Speccy. The games just felt more playable on my +2 even though they were graphically inferior.
I'll be playing it eventually but I won't be completing it for certain! I think I once made the toy & maybe got all the sugar but that's it! Good luck if you attempt it-I recommend something strong to drink!
Nar, just on YouTube. I'm only on Twitch to watch other streams & I don't have the bandwidth to stream to them both at the same time unfortunately.

Id stay away from the alcohol. Once you've done it, then you get told to do it 6 more times, the temptation to get hammered might be on the cards
We completed it back when it first came out. The magical ride it was back when I was 10 through the factory was the hook. Enjoy the streams, nice seeing Feud again. Love to see a 3d/vr remake of that.
Weirdly - the best format for this game was the Toshiba MSX. It was just much better than the Spectrum and C64. Fantastic music on that format as well.
Good game though.

Good advice… definitely need something stronger!
I was a huge Chuckie Egg fan back then & iirc was 6 when it came out and for me getting to the 'hen house' part in 2 was always the draw. However, for arcade adventures it was just too long and I preferred Dizzy, Magic Knight games.
Ditto. I had a quick look to see if there was a remake or something similar but couldn't find anything. Definitely a lot of potential there.
Chuckie Egg 1 was better on the BBC Micro imho & if being brutally honest, without rose tinted glasses, most games were 'technically' better on platforms other than the Spectrum but there was just something aobut the speccy that made it feel 'easy'. Weird but true.
