Chuckie Egg is a platform game released by A&F Software in 1983 initially for the ZX SpectrumBBC Micro, and Dragon 32/64. It was ported to the Commodore 64Acorn ElectronMSXTatung EinsteinAmstrad CPC, and Atari 8-bit computers. It was later updated for the AmigaAtari ST, and IBM PC compatibles.

The game was written by Nigel Alderton,\1]) then 16 or 17 years old, inspired by arcade games including Space Panic\2]). After a month or two of development, Nigel took a pre-release version of his Spectrum code to the two-year-old software company A&F, co-founded by Doug Anderson and Mike Fitzgerald (the "A" and "F", respectively). Doug took on the simultaneous development of the BBC Micro version, whilst Mike Webb, an A&F employee, completed the Dragon port.

Levels are largely the same between versions, and all the 8-bit versions have been cited as classics

This song still bounces around in my head sometimes. Which means it was a very effective ad! Has a level of style I just don't see in modern ads.
