Description from the packaging.

Q: Why did the chicken cross the road?
A: To get to the other side.

But that isn't as easy as it sounds. In this arcade-style game, your guiding hand determines the chicken's fate. Imagine them fighting traffic on a busy ten lane freeway, dodging the unexpected hazards of rushing police cars and increasingly heavier traffic. Your efforts don't go unrewarded, a bonus chicken is earned every 2,500 points.

Funnier than the punch line, this program will give you hours of entertainment. Whatcollection would be complete without this outrageous classic. Great sound effects. You can even hear the siren of the approaching police car.
