19. Revenge of the Chicken
It’s high time for the “food” to take revenge on the hungry gluttons who have been devouring innocent creatures for centuries. A certain peace-loving hen named Paula isn’t interested in ending up as somebody’s dinner like all her ancestors. So she has taken up arms to protect her home from the “hen hunter” invasion in an unequal fight.
Paula’s primary objective is to destroy the hordes of salivating bad guys with ravenous looks and forks held in readiness, trying to put her on their dinner-plate. But Paula isn’t easy prey; on the contrary, she is well-armed and raring to fight. Whenever an enemy is destroyed, he turns into a cactus. By in turn shooting cactuses - which block the way - coins materialize. Some of these coins represent valuable bonuses.
Not only is this game highly addictive – it provides “food for thought”. Now that you know even chickens can take revenge, you may think twice about what you’re going to have for dinner!

doctors themselves say that Computer Games are indeed beneficial,
it is as well equally true for our young children. As early as 3
years old, our kids should be exposed in this kind of activity.

Games can help with skills such as memorizing, remembering, inducing, deducing, recognizing patterns,
