I downloaded a Div game from Div Arena many years ago that had you playing as an egg roaming around a Mode7 farmyard. The aim of the game IIRC was to eat worms until you hatched into a chicken.

My son has been bugging me about this for a while now, so I thought I'd put fingers to keyboard and ask about it.

What was it called and deoes anyone have a copy of the game?

wooow this is realy old even I can't remember that game's name! :O

I think you should get into remaking it for your son =] I think he would like it much more on 16bit game made by his cool dad, he could brag about it to his friends :D

I would surely would have done that for my son ^__^ well when I get married and all that crap :P

thought you reminded me another game which I remember and disliked I think it was killingzone? it was in mode 7 and u were playing with smileys shooting each other... that was lame :P sorry...

Hi Ariel - I tried, but my son just isn't into coding at all :(

He loves retro games, but playing only. He's proud of what I do, but doesn't want to do it himself. Hopefully he will at some point.

I can't remember that smiley game though. Div Arena had a real mixed bag of games. Some were ace, others were very poor.

BTW I think the game I'm thinking of might have had turkeys in it, not chickens. I might be completely wrong about this though.

lolz Ecko bullseye! :P

oh well I didn't like it cos I was losing to those smileys all the time and it pissed me off pritty bad :P

Rockford - well I doubt your son will get excited from coding the kids of today have higher standards and arn't intrested to know the art of coding untill they mature enought to understand how complicate everything realy is and cool to play with it yourself =]

I was thinking of the idea that you try to invent that game from scratch you want it to be turkeys? so be it :P
as long as several key elements of the game are present then it would be cool! and besides you can allways come back here for ideas! we are a bunch of very sick and creative people and we will most likley enjoy your game if something will happend and your son won't like it =]

in any case good luck with it and post us screenshots now u must code it! :D

Sorry for the double post, but I think I might have found more info about the game -

It might have been "Turkey Run" by Peter Van Dalen.

Anyone have contact with him? Is he a member here?

[EDIT] He is a member here, but hasn't visited for q long while :(
