  J2ME Chuckie Egg
I decided on Chuckie Egg, which you may remember from computers such as the BBC B and ZX Spectrum in the mid-eighties.
Chuckie Egg is programmed in Java, more specifically 'J2ME' (Java 2 Micro Edition) and uses the MIDP 2.0 API (Mobile Information Device Profile).
My original idea was to recode Chuckie Egg from the original BBC B assembly code, so as to make the gameplay identical to the original.

In the game you play Hen House Harry who has to collect 12 (a dozen) eggs from each level, while avoiding the ducklings.

Unfortunately, it looks like chuckie-egg.co.uk has been setup with the sole purpose of illegally re-selling Mike Elson's Chuckie Egg for Windows which is, of course, still freely available.
Alan's Chuckie Egg history goes back somewhat further than this release, however - his brother was also an old school-mate of Sean Townsend.
As well as being crammed with new features, this release is particularly notable as it contains an implementation of the popularly mis-remembered second duck (a hawk, in this remake), that has a different speed and acceleration to the first.

 kevin-adams.co.uk - Chuckie Egg   (Site not responding. Last check: )
In 1983 AandF software released 'Chuckie Egg' which was a simple platform game orginally attributed to the then 16 year old Nigel Alderton.
The game's cult status was helped by the fact that schools used BBC Micro computers, and many schools had a copy of the game, introducing it to a wide audience of egg collectors.
