Chopper I Longplay (Arcade) [QHD]

Game Info --------------------------------------------------- Developer: SNK Publisher: SNK Year of Release: 1988 Game Review & Impressions --------------------------------------------------- Released in 1988, Chopper I is a rather innocuous shoot 'em up that features, in my opinion, some of the best pixel art seen in games of this, considering the time of its release. The addition of a motion blur effect to the rotation of chopper blades, plumes of smoke as the jets of your rockets ignite, not to mention the ground shadows of the teeny-tiny troopers running along the ground, are nuances and kind of attention to detail which still weren't exactly common place. The actual gameplay isn't too shabby either, although is largely representative for the genre as a whole. Players blast through waves of jets, helicopters and ground forces hell-bent on their destruction, taking down end-of-level bosses, then proceeding to do it all over again in the next stage. You also better enjoy this sort of thing, too, because with 12 stages set of two loops, Chopper I is a pretty long game. Beating the second loop to see the somewhat lacklustre ending is going to take time, patience, not to mention a whole sack of coins.
