Alfred Chicken is a side-scrolling platformer developed by Twilight and published by Mindscape for the NES. Players control Alfred, a red chicken, across bizarre levels to rescue kidnapped eggs from the Meka-Chickens — pecking balloons and switches on the ground and dive-bombing enemies from the air. Every balloon in a level must be popped to reach the exit.
