Kid Chaos (previously known as Kid Vicious) is a side-scrolling platform video game developed by Magnetic Fields, and published by Ocean Software, for the Amiga and Amiga CD32 in 1994.[3][2]

On 5th May 2018 a retrospective video documentary/review produced by Everything Amiga was published on the subject. [5] It tells the story of the games' troubled development history, and assesses its impact on the Amiga scene at the time, and long after.

Former Magnetic Fields artist, Andrew Morris, agreed for a scan of his original protagonist concept artwork to be included. This was the first time it had been revealed to the public. 'Cosmic Kitten' (alternatively 'Claws') as he was then known was to be the Amiga's answers to Sonic the Hedgehog. However, before publication the character was re-designed as a caveboy known simply as 'Kid' to avoid any legal conflict with SEGA who have always been very protective of their intellectual property.
