When you've crossed the street, the game's speed will increase (starting each level, or after you've been hit by a car, at the game speed chosen at the title screen.) When the speed is past 4, you will advance to the next level. Each level has more cars, but only up to 6 a lane. Once past difficult (level 4), boulders appear from the top of the screen. In level 4, they fall straight down. In levels 5 and 6, they zigzag each time they hit the road, and in levels 7 and above, they follow you. When you're hit by a car, or boulder, you die, and the SPCA send an ambulance. If it's a car, the police slow the traffic down to the selected game speed.›When you've crossed the highway 5-game speed times, you advance a level.›› SCORING››The only way to get points is to cross the highway. You get 3 * LEVEL points each time, and another 100 for when you avance a level.›› LIVES››You start with 3 lives. Every 1000 points you get an additional life, but you can have no more than 4 lives.›› SCREEN DISPLAY››At the top of the screen, your score ("SCORE:0" at the left), level ("1" in the mid-right) and lives ("LIVES:3" at the far-right) is displayed.›NOTE:Score and Lives are yellow and Level is blue.››CHICKEN!››BY BILL KENDRICK›ATARISERV 1989››Released June 1994›New Breed Software›kendrick@vax.sonoma.edu›59 Palm Lane Novato CA 94945›
