Game won't load on Mac M1
No matter what I tried, I wasn't able to get it past the initial screen...

The Chaos Engine
Description
Sometime during the last century, an experimenter with time, space, and early computers created a bizarre machine. The inventor's name was Baron Fortesque. The machine was... THE CHAOS ENGINE. Although primitive, the machine became incredibly powerful and went crazy, turning humans into razor-toothed, armor-plated killing machines.
This gripping, action-packed adventure takes you through four distinctive graphic worlds and 16 challenging levels – alone or with a friend! Each level is loaded with fiendish traps, secret passages, and puzzles. Which means to survive this maniacal gauntlet filled with hordes of different monsters, you'll need to use not only arsenal of hands-on firepower but also your mind! And if you can survive all that, you still have to take on the Chaos Engine itself.
Co-op notice (Mac): Co-op on Mac is still being developed and might not work properly.

Hell yea, one of the elites
Well well well, is it not the good old Chaos Engine? The one I had to constantly start over the 3rd World, since my elder brother's Amiga floppy version was not correctly playing the last level, the Chaos Engine, and since I always forgot to write down (or maybe simply didn't want to) the last world's "Level Code". This game was so much fun that I kept on playing and playing, even while I knew that I could not play the last level. Puzzles were pretty hard sometimes. For example, in the World Three, there was a treasure room which was visible but blocked by a stone. That room was in the beginning part. I always looked at that room with envy, hoping some day I would get those things. I could not :) Walking hands. That's all that keeps following you in many years. In your dreams, I mean. Great concept, greater application. I'm so very tempted to buy this game again. Well, I think I will now. I rarely recommend a game. This is one of those few. By the way, about 5 years ago, I managed to complete the game (the last level). By using WinUAE on my old computer. I also played Chaos Engine 2 there, which really sucked. This Chaos Engine is the best one. p.s. Never managed to complete Shadowlands, though. I hope Shadowlands also comes to GOG "with a walkthrough" if possible :)

Great GAME!
OK I am not reviewing this version. But this is a CLASSIC GOG from probably the best gaming company in the late 80s-90s: The BITMAP BROTHERS. I spend numerous hours with the original game! I hope to see more Bitmap Brothers game coming live on GOG (in particular the Speedball series!)

EEEEEEEHAAAAAH!!!!
This was the time waster of my Amiga collection. I played this until the floppies wore out! (Remember 880K floppies on the Amiga?) This goes to the number 1 spot to buy.... I may even Stop playing Skyrim for this...
