About this game
Hen Pecked is a barnyard-themed action game for the Texas Instruments TI-99 and TI-99/4A. The cartridge is described as a clone of Williams Electronics’ 1982 arcade game Joust, recasting its territorial contest as a struggle between a rooster and hens.
Players can choose one- or two-player mode and control the rooster with the keyboard or joystick. Movement uses the arrow keys or joystick directions, while flapping is assigned to the Q key or joystick fire button. The game can be paused with the P key.
