Good But Hard For 1984...Mediocre and Hard Today
gangstahippie26 July 2006
Rated E.

Flicky is one of the games that was included in my Sega Smash Pack 2 game collection.Now IMDb says this game was released in 1984 but I played it and it said it was released in 1991 on the title screen.Flicky is a fairly cute and fun video game but it is also very hard.You are a bird named Flicky(which apparently appears later on in Sonic The Hedgehog) and you must save other birds from tigers.The more birds you save the more points you get.You can also kick flowerpots onto tigers.This game is hard because its hard to predict the tigers pattern and its extremely easy to get caught by a tiger.Flicky is a fairly fun,cute but hard family game!The graphics like most if not all titles from the 80's are dated by today's standards but they were good for the 80's.

6/10

One of the hardest games ever made
famelovingboy6823 March 2005
It has tacky music and animation, because of how old it is, I first found it when I unlocked it on Sonic Mega collection and it was so tacky and old looking I didn't know what to think of this game I didn't even think it could of possible been sold in stores, the music and animation was funny enough to make me pee my pants. But this game is one of the hardest if not the hardest video games ever amade and also one of the most annoying if not the ultimate. A pain in the ass, even literally if you have the patience to sit down and play it for hours, but I still like it. It just takes more patience than skill for me. It's honestly not as hard as it is a freaking pain in the ass. You are a blue bird named flicky and you collect chicks and escape from orange cats and from round four on, some iguanas, who seem like your best friend compared to these cats from hell, are also on every level, and you need to make it to one of the many doors with all the chicks on the round. The houses or whatever they are change after three rounds and a bonus round where you catch chicks in a net, and the houses or heck if I can make sense what they are, are distorted looking as if it was made by someone manic with a deluded perseption of houses, each one seems to be the size of California. But The creators also could just have a good imagination and see just a house, like a poet sees things. The cats that all look the same and are all named Tiger, just pop out everywhere like cars on the freeway. I'm one of the most gentle and pacifistic people, but after playing this game for a while, I want those carnivorous cats, who seem like ultimate sociopaths slaughtering a pretty little bird, to die as horrible as possible. If you work on your patience, or at least if I do, it's a really fun game, I do enjoy it, But it just goes on and on. My brother made it to round 50 and didn't beat it yet, it seems like it's neverending and levels just keep getting made and it freaks me out, as if the game is just an evil set-up from hell. But Don't get me wrong, I'm still glad I found this game.

Quite an addicting game for '84
hashtagpantz16 August 2020
Flicky is a cat-and-mouse-chase-style game, where you play as Flicky, and collect baby chicks while getting chased by a cat and an iguana. It is hard enough to keep you hooked, but easy enough for you to not tear your hair out in frustration. 8/10
