What was that game with the jump pad level with the alien chickens, warp tunnel level and rocket ship take off sequence?  I remember playing that as a kid on an Atari 800.

The "alien chicken" game is Joust. Nice!

Actually, although it starts with the 800XL version of Joust, the game he's referring to is actually Cosmic Tunnels. And in the game the "chickens" were called "space turkeys."

Joust I know.  Cosmic Tunnels, that was a fun game with the combination of different game play between the levels.  Even though the games and graphics were superior on an Atari computer, I often wished I had a 2600 when I was a kid like all my friends.
