It took 20 years for me to finaly get my ultimate gaming moment. One of my all time favourite games for the spectrum is Chuckie Egg 2. I had been everywhere in that game and had seen every room. I had collected all ingredients and toy parts but could never complete it. I turned the generator on but then went back the same way, thus turning it off again preventing me from completing the game. I recently found out that a funny green cactus thingy was actually a ladder I could pick up. I dont know what made me think of it but I tried picking it up and it enabled me to get back up a different way, keeping the generator running. I had goosebumps playing the rest of the game because I knew what needed to be done in order to complete it and when I did, I felt nothing but relief. 20 years of weight was lifted off my shoulders. Nothing has compared to that - not even completing GTA san andreas with 100%.
I hope in the future you do a feature on Chuckie Egg 2. It got a brief mention when you did your chuckie egg feature and I was a little disappointed. Many regard CE2 as inferior but I loved the idea and the implementation of the gameplay. I'm sure that I'm not the only one to love this game so; so if possible, can we have a feature based on Chuckie Egg 2?
Cheers
