Chuckie Egg, a classic ZX Spectrum game from 1983, is being remade for mobile phones. Created by teenager Nigel Alderton in his bedroom, it was a hit due to its smooth controls and challenging gameplay. The game is a single-screen platformer where players collect eggs while avoiding chickens and a giant bird. Initially released on the Spectrum, it was later ported to various other 8-bit and 16-bit computers. Despite being largely forgotten, Chuckie Egg remains playable today and is now available for pre-order on iPhone and other mobile devices. Alderton's game was one of the best-selling titles on the Spectrum in 1983, alongside other classics like Jetpac and Manic Miner.
