Alfred Chicken (1993). Play online

Summary

Alfred Chicken spins a quirky platform adventure that feels fresh even after all these years. You control a plucky chicken named Alfred, navigating levels littered with balloons, phones, cheese and other off‑beat hazards while hopping, pecking switches and dive‑bombing enemies. Hitting an enemy or a spring while in mid‑air triggers a bounce that can fling you to hidden high platforms, but miss the timing and Alfred gets temporarily stuck in the ground. The game hides power‑ups like a jam‑filled bomb from Mr. Pekles or a whirling worm that shreds foes, each accessed by discovering secret telephones or cans. Two Game Boy releases exist: the original monochrome cartridge and a later Super Game Boy version that adds a level‑select screen thanks to Hookstone and Sunsoft’s Japanese release, later resurfacing on the Game Boy Color as Alfred’s Adventure in 2000.
