A prototype of Chicken Challenge for the Commodore VIC-20.

Notes

• Earlier incarnation with a frog theme known as "Super Frog"; this was likely changed due to legal concerns
• VICSoft is credited in the title screen, rather than programmer Paul Hope
• Some sound effects are different
• True drive emulation must be disabled for the player inputs to work correctly in VICE; this is also true in the final Chicken Challenge game
• .TAP and .DMP dumps are provided
