My first ever game was a copy of CI3 my parents pirated on the family pc.
At that time it was a common thing to do with any digital media. Do any boomers like me remember that ad about “You will never download a car” ?
Anyway… I never got past uco2 and dropped the game
Years later CI4 happened, got hit by nostalgia, and I spent days playing the mobile version and I was seriously intimidated by the Egg Cannon. At that time period I also suffered from being bullyed, so every gaming session helped me to relax
Then I forgot about the franchise (again) due to Minecraft becoming a better antistress for me
Years later CI5 happened, got hit with even more nostalgia and spent hours on it.
Chicken Invaders basically became a family meme: it would somehow return when everyone forgot about it
And then, as that meme was a prophecy… I forgot about the franchise again…
Years later I remembered (again) about Chicken Invaders and replayed every game from 3 to 5. And I finally had my battle with the Yolk Star… after all those years.
After that I decided to look on wikipedia and I can summarise what happened this way: “Oh cool! Every game releases every 4 years! CI6 must be coming soon! Let me search more… What is this? Chicken Invaders Universe?”
And that’s how I got into the forum
Chicken Invaders holds a special place in my heart because (as I said before) it’s the first game I have ever played. My future career has this franchise as its base, since that’s how I started gaming.
The fact that a little piece of me (The Henlley Comet) is a part of it… I don’t know how to describe the feeling

My parents did the same
Everybody pirated the game back then
I had the same problem with ci 2 where i die at the egg boss
But ci3 i won a couple of times but i am terrible at yolk star fight because when i defeated him in ci3 i was using rockets only i wouldn’t use any rocket in the game just keep them for the yolk star
I played 4 then 5 came out a year later so i played it
After i finished 5 i forgot about the game completey that’s when i got new pc
And some day When i was laying in my bed i got idea to search about Chicken invaders
I found a video about Chicken invaders evolution
That’s when i found out about Chicken invader universe
I forgot about the video for several month
Then i started searching about the game again
Thats when i found about Chicken invaders universe early access on steam
Nice i played the game for several month now and it was so heart warming how my childhood game is still going
About how i got to the forums i had a problem with a the game i forgot what was it anyway
I searched it on google and i found page asking about the same problem and someone solved it for him
That’s when i discovered about the forums
After like 2 weeks i decided to enter the forums
I found that people was suggesting
So i joined the forums but i didn’t really post
I just created an account
My first post was a couple weeks ago
Why i entered the forums
Bec This game have a part of my heart
This title made me enter gaming
The feeling that this game gave me was something i can’t really describe
The era when the games are really good
The era when all the games were too good
The era when the games didn’t require a nice graphics to be popular
And again thank you InterAction_studios for giving all of us the best childhood game from all the games 
P.s
I don’t know how this webs didn’t have any viruses included with the game

CI2 demo, don’t remember which edition though.
Here more detailed story:
(just the first post, I planned to rewrite others when CIU exits from EA, but somehow we’re still not ready for release)
3 Likes
The story is similar between every version
About every edition i didn’t really like any edition other than the main one
Fun fact : the first ci i played was ci3 xmas edition
At the time i didn’t really understand the cutscenes because i was young and i didn’t quite understand English bec it wasn’t my main language
My dad got the game and I was like 8-12 years old and I remembered the game 6 years later, I’m so happy they made more releases!

CI3 is the first CI game I discovered, it started in year 2011.
I played CI4 way back 2013, CI5 in 2019 and CIU in 2020
Somehow, I randomly found CI2 xmas (non-remaster one) on my D disk when I was young (5 or 6 iirc). I opened the game, start playing and all the enemy bullet it just like Ion gift so I… Crash into it.

So you joined around 2014 or + right ?
We all did when we were younger lol
Ci3 and ci2
The game blow up
yea, around 2015
Exploring the “My Computer” in Windows XP when I was 3, saw a folder called “Games”, immediately clicked on it. The folder had Feeding Frenzy 2, CI2, CI3 and maybe some other PopCap games.
I tried every game and liked them all, the best one was CI3 though 
.
I skipped all the cutscenes because I don’t know English at the time and clicked on random buttons until it worked, that’s how I learned the controls lol
I did not know that you can pause at the time, so every time I want to quit the game, I commit sudoku on my ship (sorry lives). I discovered pausing while playing CI5, which is like years later 
.
I did not beat CI3, got stuck at the Mysterious Ship

I had a ton of games back then + flash games
I had zuma and feeding frenzy
I didn’t finish zuma at all when i was 4 years old i would be stuck
I finished it not a long ago 2 or 3 years i think
Feeding frenzy i had a finished load of the games so i can play any level i wanted
I actually watched cutscenes but I didn’t understand anything
I think i had problems with quitting the game back then if i quit the game i think i lose power , lives and chickens
When i got stuck at mysterious ship i told my mom’s sister and she told me to use my rockets on it
That is how i beated it
