Chase the Chuck Wagon is a 1983 promotional video game written by Mike Schwartz for the Atari 2600 and distributed by Purina.
The player has limited time (60 or 30 seconds depending on the difficulty setting) per maze to accomplish this.
[4][5] If the player misses, no points are awarded and the game advances to the next maze screen.
If the player does not press the fire button, the dish falls repeatedly and the game does not advance.
The player uses the joystick to move Chuckie through mazes and to change his facing on the reward screen.
The fire button is only used to stop the dropping food dish on the rewards screens.
[9] I was approached by a good friend who ran TMQ/ICOM and he badly needed this game programmed over a weekend.
