THE EVIL CHICKEN OF DOOM
by Mel S

Review: David Whyld

My fave out of all of the one hour games, The Evil Chicken Of Doom was genuinely comical in places and (in my humble opinion anyway) quite a bit better than some of Mel S' full length games.

At heart it's pretty much a nonsense game about (yep, you guessed it), an evil chicken that has two noses. On account of this, you and your friend Steve decide that the best thing to do is kill it. Cruel? Perhaps. But then it does have two noses and is giving you evil looks.

Buried amidst the silliness there is actually quite a good game here. Short, of course, being written in an hour but proof that you don't have to spend ages on a game to write something worthwhile. Re-written as a full size game, this would be quite something.

7 out of 10
