A Review: Chopper Attack, N64 1998

Chopper Attack, or Wild Choppers in Japan, is a helicopter-based action-shooter developed for the N64 by SETA Corporation and published by Midway Games. This game is very simple and allows the player to take control of one of a roster of pilots and guide them and their helicopter through a series of missions and modes. The game features numerous mission types in a variety of locations, such as bombing enemy bases, escorting Air Force One, and rescuing prisoners of war. This is one of those games for me that just wasn't quite long enough for me to really get into. I liked what I played and thought that it was a pretty fun little shooter with some strong mechanics, but there just wasn't enough of a game to really enjoy. The play was nicely simplistic but also repetitive, and after a while, it felt like you were just playing the same scenarios over and over. The meat and potatoes of this game were pretty average, I found, but it had moments where you could honestly have some good ...

A Review: Chill, PC 2019 (18+)

**THIS POST IS ABOUT AN ADULT GAME, PLEASE BE WARNED** Chill is an endless maze puzzle game developed and published by ZELENIUK for Windows and sold via the Steam online store. The game allows players to use their mouse to move a small dot through a series of mazes with progressive difficulty. Each level completed adds to the player's high score and can also unlock a new pose from the CGI girl in the background at every fifth level. This game is the first in the series and seems to have met with a rather mixed response from gamers. This is one of the many, many games that I have played that doesn't really have a whole lot of anything to talk about. It is literally just a game that allows the player to guide a dot through a series of mazes in an endless cycle. In fact, there is so little to really talk about that I'll probably just copy and paste this series of games' reviews and just update and add something here and there for each one. There seems to be no end goal in ...

A Review: Chicago 90, AMIGA 1990

Chicago 90 is a racing game developed and published by Microids for the Amstrad PC, Atari ST, Amiga, and MS-DOS computer systems. In this racing game, the player can choose to drive a red sports car similar in appearance to a Ferrari Testarossa and outrun the police searching for them. Or you can assume the role of a police officer and drive a pursuit vehicle in an attempt to catch the fleeing red sports car. When I first loaded this game up, I thought that it was a lot longer than it actually is. I honestly spent several hours researching this game, looking for a content pack or patch. I thought that I had only managed to find a demo version, but no, this game is that short. I mean, it is ridiculously short and can be completed in four hours at the very most, and that includes time to dink around and get good. I think that I put it best in my original 'Final Thoughts' for this game. It is literally a digital version of cops and robbers or tag, but with cars. There are no extra...
