The game runs very slowly under Windows 8, 8.1 or 10
This is a known issue with Windows 8+ and unfortunately there's nothing that can be done to fix it.
Technically, the reason is that the game uses DirectX v7.0, and under Windows 8 the DirectDraw part of DirectX 7.0 is software emulated, meaning that it's very slow.
Update: Some people have reported that you can use the dgVoodoo2 DirectX wrapper to make the game work correctly under Windows 8+, so you might want to give it a shot. Note that InterAction studios is not affiliated with the maker of dgVoodoo2 and no technical support can be provided. Your mileage may vary.
- Version 1.20 and below only: To quit, you need to press ESC followed by whichever key is in the 'Y' position in standard QWERTY keyboards. For example, in a German QWERTZ keyboard, you must press 'Z' instead. If you don't know the layout of your keyboard, try each letter until one works. If you still can't quit, press Alt-TAB.
- It is not possible to quit the game while you are entering your name in the high score table. To enter your name, use the cursor keys or A,D,W,X (another small omission in the documentation is how to move up and down in the high score screen - now you know) to navigate through the letter grid and press fire on the END button to finish.
- Your high scores may not be saved if, after achieving a new high score, you start another game but quit it midway through. To ensure changes to the high score table are saved, exit the game normally.
- Pressing Alt-TAB will crash the game (this, however, can be used as an emergency measure when you cannot exit the game normally).
The game runs very slowly, or there is significant slowdown when there is a lot of activity on-screen.
Update: If you have Windows 8, then the problem lies elsewhere and not with your video card. Check the relevant question above.
Do you have a GeForce card? There are certain bad versions of GeForce drivers that cause this problem. This is a problem in the drivers themselves and is unfortunately completely outside our control.
The recommended way to fix this problem is to update your graphics card drivers (go to NVIDIA's web site for this). Alternatively, there is a workaround that alleviates or solves the slowdown problem altogether. Try this:
Right-click on your desktop and select 'Properties'. Go to the 'Settings' tab and click on 'Advanced..'. Click on the 'Troubleshooting' tab and move the slider to the left until it says that all DirectDraw and Direct3D accelerations have been disabled (around the middle of the range). Finally, click on 'OK'.
Note that this workaround might cause other games on your computer to slow down, so you may have to switch back and forth between settings, but it's certainly worth a try.
There is no dedicated pause key in Chicken Invaders 1, but you can achieve the same effect by pressing the ESC key (top-left of your keyboard) — just be careful you don't accidentally quit the game altogether when you return!
After I press fire a few times the game crashes and Windows says something about 'sticky keys'.
Windows XP's 'sticky keys' accessibility feature interferes with games that use the Shift keys to fire. You will need to disable it. You can do this either from the dialog box that pops up when you press a Shift key 5 times in succession, or from Start/Control Panel/Accessibility Options/StickyKeys.
When I try to run the game I get a message '.. linked to missing export DDRAW.DLL: DirectDrawCreateEx'.
Your DirectX version is out of date (you need at least version 7.0). Download the latest version from Microsoft's web site here.
When I try to run the game I get a message 'Access Violation [..] Read of address FFFFFFFF'
Again, your DirectX version is out of date (you need at least version 7.0). Download the latest version from Microsoft's web site here.
When I try to run the game I get a message 'DDERR_NOEXCLUSIVEMODE'.
This message says that your computer can't switch to full-screen to play the game. There is no legitimate reason for this (unless you have another full-screen application running in the background). It is more likely a bug in certain video drivers (in conjunction with DirectX 7.0). Try updating your graphics card driver (check your manufacturer's web site) and/or DirectX version (here). Also, before running the game, shut down any instant messengers, and generally any program that may pop up a window. Check the system tray area (at the bottom right of your screen, next to the clock) and terminate any unnecessary programs.
Can I use my joystick/gamepad/mouse?
Can I reconfigure the keyboard keys?
Can I reconfigure the keyboard keys?
When I try to run the game, I get an error message similar to: 'Function UveDX::checkFile() failed with error 'Cannot open file ChickenInvaders.dat'.

'Situation critical. You are our best pilot. Launch immediately on an intercept course to the closest attack wave. Destroy all alien chicken life forms you encouter flapping wildly in space. Incinerate them. I want to see nothing left but DRUMSTICKS! Oh, and soldier, don't eat the eggs..whatever you do, DON'T EAT THE EGGS!'
Chicken Invaders Game Tips
- Like I said, don't eat the eggs
- Presents = good, asteroids = bad, drumsticks = good, eggs = bad
- Missiles work real well on the enemy bosses
- Shoot..a lot..like, all the time..
More Chicken Invaders Action Available
For more galactic, chicken roasting fun you've got to try Chicken Invaders 2 The Next Wave and Chicken Invaders 3 Revenge of the Yolk. Both game offer a lot more weapons, funny cutscenes, and space shooting action than this version.
Chicken Invaders Review
- Review by Brandon
Star wars despecialized edition. Chicken Invaders is a strange new twist on the classic Space Invaders style arcade game. Chickens are invading Earth and it's your job to pilot a spaceship to take them out and save the world. You'll take on increasingly difficult waves of chickens and asteroids that threaten to destroy Earth. You can face the task alone or play with a friend. Goofy graphics and sounds add an interesting touch to the good arcade gameplay.
Straight Up Arcade Shooter
The gameplay at the heart of Chicken Invaders is very similar to other arcade shooters. You control a spaceship at the bottom of the screen that can be moved left or right. The enemies sit at the top of the screen, and its your job to eliminate them. However, you'll have to be quick and alert to dodge the eggs they drop. If you get hit by an egg, you lose one of your three lives. When destroyed, the chickens drop a drumstick you can collect for bonus points, or a present that will award you powerups and points. You repeat your actions on wave after wave until you finally lose all three lives and the game ends.
Asteroids, Chickens, and Eggs
There are ten different waves you face in Chicken Invaders. Some waves have you destroying the chicken invaders (who are organized in different formations throughout), while others have you dodging deadly asteroids heading straight for you. The final wave contains a single large chicken invader, and is the boss encounter. Once you complete the ten waves, they start over from the beginning and become more difficult than before. There will be more chickens to eliminate, and more asteroids or eggs to dodge as you progress. You cannot adjust or change the difficulty settings in Chicken Invaders.
Simple Controls
Similar to the gameplay, the controls are fairly simple. The spaceship you control is moved left or right with the left and right arrow keys (or the A and D keys). You fire with the Shift key, and shoot missiles with the Control key. The controls are given to you before you begin the game, and simple enough for anyone to learn or use. One downside when it comes to the controls is the inability to change them. It would have been nice to change the controls to something easier or more comfortable to use. Another problem with the controls is needing to hit Shift repeatedly to fire. It becomes tiring and repetitive to have to hit the same key over and over.
The visuals of Chicken Invaders is hardly cutting-edge, but is on par with other games in the same genre. They also add a somewhat humorous or goofy element to the game. The portrayal of the enemy as chickens and the dropped drumsticks when they are destroyed keep the game a lighthearted affair. The various simple sounds effects also play their part in bringing that feeling to the game, although they may get annoying after hearing them enough times.
Repetitive By Nature
The biggest issue with Chicken Invaders is the repetitive nature of the game. There are only three types of enemies/obstacles in the game (chicken invaders, asteroids, and bosses) that you deal with time and again. Additionally, the same ten waves repeat over and over as you progress in the game, only change in their difficulty. Having to repeatedly hit the Shift key to continuously fire only adds to the repetitiveness of the game. Playing with a friend (each of you controlling one ship) or working towards new high scores to upload can help offset the monotony, and people really into arcade shooters may not be bothered by the repetitive elements found in many such games.
Conclusion - It All Depends On How Much You Like Frying Chickens Over and Over..
Overall, Chicken Invaders is a decent game with its positive and negative aspects. There's solid arcade gameplay at the core, but the lack of options and repetitive nature may put off some players. The options to play with a friend and upload high scores are nice additions to the game. If you like arcade shooter games, you may find this very fun and addictive. Even if you don't, there's no reason not to at least give the game a try, especially since it's free.
