The long awaited sequel to the Spectrum mega smash Chuckie Egg, but is it a good as its predecessor? Well, yes and no. Yes it is better than Chuckie, and no, it isn't up to the standard that we now expect from Spectrum games.

Anyway, here's the game. Henhouse Harry now resides in a chocolate egg factory which contains 120 rooms, so it's not small. The aim in the game is more or less as before, but this sequel has much more of an adventure feel to it.

For instance, you have to collect objects on screen that will only become useful on later screens. A nice touch but it's a real bind having to retrace your steps if you get stuck. There are pink elephants and a creeping hand after you as well as sail the usual ledges and ropes to negotiate as you attempt to collect the parts of the toy kits (to put inside the eggs of course).

One other feature that makes this an arcade-adventure is the adventure-style Save game feature that means you don't have to do all 120 screens in one go.
