Chase the Chuck Wagon

Atari 2600

1983Spectravision, Spectravideo

Mike Schwartz’s 1983 Purina promo: run Chuckie through timed mazes past a dog catcher, then stop a falling dish on a reward screen. Mail-order only, proofs of purchase.

Collector note

Not a normal retail SKU — available only by mail from Purina with proofs of purchase. Loosely based on the Chuck Wagon TV commercials.

Facts

  • 60- or 30-second mazes depending on difficulty. Time remaining is the stage score; a successful reward dish is +100.
  • Three lives (Chuckies). Dog catcher contact or timeout costs a life; a bouncing object freezes Chuckie briefly.
