Astro Chicken was the name of an arcade minigame in Space Quest III. Gameplay consisted of attempting to land a chicken on a trampoline. The mechanics of the game were similar to those of Lunar Lander, with the exception that the chicken would rebound unharmed if it struck the trampoline too forcefully. When the chicken landed safely, it would exclaim "Bacock!". The Astro Chicken theme music is a variation on Chicken Reel, a traditional folk song best known for its use in animated cartoons.
Sierra also released the Astro Chicken minigame as a demo to promote Space Quest III.
