9 years ago, I was trapped in an abandoned factory for 3 weeks straight. There
was very little light and almost no food or water. I discovered two things that
helped me power through this time in my life. A cheap desktop from 2004, and a
copy of Chicken Shoot Gold on CD-ROM. Using the manual powered generator I found
in the basement of the factory, I did nothing but play Chicken Shoot Gold until
I was rescued by the missing persons detectives. Playing it now brings a warm
sentiment to my heart that I cannot obtain anywhere else. I think of the
struggles I have faced and how I know I can power through them, no matter how
hopeless it seems. It all comes back to me with this game. I would rate it
10/10.

1st of all I have to say - the GAME itself is very good. It's great! Even better
than Moorhuhn, because you will have various kinds of weapons, multiple
different levels (while Moorhuhn has one level per game right) even secret
levels and BOSS levels! The game is colorful and fun to play, so good times for
kids and their parents.
And now why you should not buy this game EVER on steam:
-Save files doesn't work
-You have to enter the game key once you open the game, and guess what? You will
have to do it every single time you run the game because those saves are broken.
-2003 resolutions - 800x600 is the biggest possible, and it looks stretched af,
so only works okay with 4:3 monitors which are hard to find nowadays.
-Mouse speed is crazy and you have no option to change it.
-the game has the indescribable amount of bugs and NONE of mentioned above are
going to be fixed because devs abandoned their game a long time ago.
Even with the 90% discount this game will be overpriced (not because the game is
bad but the steam version) because there even
-no steam cards
-no steam achievements
-no fun allowed
Do not buy. Stay away.

Buy this, so that if anyone asks "Why have you never played my favorite
videogame?" you can say "Fuck you, have you ever played Chicken Shoot!?"

brought me to tears multiple times and the gameplay is unlike anything before
it. 10/10

Cheap and lazy oorhuhn clone. See, most of the people probably forgot about
Moorhuhn nowadays, but back in late 90s / early 2000s, it was a huge thing. And
not only in Germany. It started as the promo game for Johnnie Walker whiskey
(yep, a lot of fun begins with whiskey), but ended up being installed on most of
the computers around the Globe. The idea was totally simple - we were supposed
to use mouse to shoot chickens. For points. The end. But since it was only the
late 90s and the mobile gaming the way we know it today wasn't really a thing
yet, it was kind of... addictive and... fun... sort of. It was just a cute way
to kill some time at work, before school, or something like that. You were
waiting for your mom to make breakfast? Moorhuhn was a cute way to kill some
time. As the result, Moorhuhn series became pretty big (it even has its own ARPG
at this point, which you can also find here, in Steam) and, as usual when
there's something big, there were clones. Like this one. It started as a browser
game, but eventually grew up into this. A version that includes both the
"classic" mode, where you just shoot chickens for high score, and so-called
"arcade" mode, where you have lives and progress through some levels. Sounds OK,
but... design isn't nearly as good as in Moorhuhn series, it isn't really
well-made and dang, it keeps asking me for the CD key again and again at
start... So, yeah... you want something like this, you go for Moorhuhn. No
reason to compromise. Like... at all.

It barely runs on my computer but thats okay. For me, chicken shoot is a out of
body experience and it worth every single cent i paid for it. I had a massive
orgasm the first time i booted up this game on god.

Yeah. This game is indeed, bad. I knew I shouldn't have bought a key for this at
Games On A Shelf. The guy at the register kept trying to get me to pre-order
Cyberpunk 2077 even though I wasn't interested.

Short version: 73%
Chicken Shoot Gold/2 won’t revolutionise the light gun shoot ‘em up genre and
they probably won’t entertain you for more than 20 minutes, but they are perfect
to just whip up a simple little game to pass the time when you feel a bit tired
or lazy.
They are also exceptionally great to keep little kids occupied. Trust me, it has
been proven numerous types, your little brother/sister or your young child can
sit in front of it for hours on end while you will be free to do anything.
Especially if you show them there are more levels so they can play with a goal
to progress.
Long version:
Chicken Shoot Gold and Chicken Shoot 2 are actually cash-in games that rode the
success of Moorhuhn (Crazy Chicken), a franchise that lasted 10 years and 30
games. Apparently Germans really like to shoot chickens around the turn of the
millennium; during that time you could find dozens of these themed (usually
cartoonish) shoot ‘em ups on the internet and on gaming magazine CDs.
Chicken Shoot’s primary selling point is the hand-drawn graphics, and I have to
admit, they look good even in 2014 on a full HD monitor. While the game itself
is simple as a stick (you get a gun, you shoot chicken, you reload, then shoot
more chicken), the small details can really add a few layers to it here and
there.
For example all levels (there are five of them in the first one, six in the
second, plus an end boss screen in both) feature hidden bonuses you can shoot
for additional points: shooting a mine cart into an abandoned mine, blowing off
the top hat of a snowman and so on; this also emulates Moorhuhn’s crazy level
secrets. And these are just a few of the Easter eggs you can find in the game–
apart from those the chicken throw in your face of course.
Yes: the games have several levels. Most people who try the games out will never
notice that, because you either need to kill all chicken (Arcade) or get to
2500/3500 points/level (Classic) to advance to the next stage.
And yes, there is actually an end boss in both games, and in the second one
beating the Chicken King can be a really difficult task. So… good luck if you
try it.

Anybody who supported this kind of shovelware shouldn't exist. They should be
exiled from being a thing. Whoever bought shovelware should disappear. *poof*
Overall I give it 4.5 kneeslaps.

This has to be up there on my list of top 10 games I have ever played. As I shot
the chickens as is instructed in the title I began to question all authority and
the semblance of the person I really am. Why was I illing these chickens? Was it
because the game ordered me to? Does commiting a mass genocide against chickens
to get a high score seem morally right? These tough questions are a deciding
factor in this game being a philisophical eureka. 10/10

This is not the same game you played when you were kid.
- There is no windowed mod.
- Max 800x600 resolution.
- Always ask cd key when you open and multiplayer doesn't work.
Bury your good old memories in your heart and don't buy this game!

I originally bought this game for my sexual desires, the wide variety of sexy
chickens, and the amazingly sexy Bill, the hero of Chicken Shoot and the sexiest
man of all time, but this game served more purpose then sexy chickens. This game
slowly took a new meaning. At first, when playing this game you think that this
is a 2.5D shooter, rack up points, beat a boss, that's it. But! You slowly see
the purpose of this game. It represents the creation of God, you see, Bill IS
God. The chickens represent the devils attempting to harm Bill, and who is
creating Bill you may say? BIG MAMA CHICKEN, the boss of Chicken Shoot. I am a
Chicken Shoot pro, I have bought this game on multiple devices. I own a GBA
copy, Wii copy, and now this brilliant, perfect version on PC, playing this on
800x600 resolution just makes me wish that every game was played like this, the
blurry and already shitty graphics, the constant crashing and distortion of the
graphics, colors and sounds when ALT+Tabing out the game makes me feel like what
Jesus went through trying to get his voice heard. The 20mins worth of gameplay
of shooting chickens has so much replayability. This game is the best game to be
created, EVER.
-8/10 only buy on sale this game gives me a tumor why'd I buy it thrice?

Chicken Shoot Gold is a game in which you shoot chickens for points... and as
you can tell by the screenshots up there, it's not very interesting, there are
free flash games out there that are a magnitude more complex and interesting
then this one, all you do is point and click, reload when you run out of
bullets, should say something that I only played this game for ten minutes and
could already tell you not to buy it, very few modes or changes to the formula
as the game goes on, just shoot chickens and gain points.
Should also be noted this game has some form of DRM which is yet another knock
against it, all and all even for the low price of seventy cents when on sale
(Lets not even talk about the seven dollars max) you are better off using that
money on just about anything else.
