The Chaos Engine

Classic game in a lackluster package

The header pretty much says it all. "The Chaos Engine" is as legendary as its creators, The Bitmap Brothers. It was a great game in its time, and although modern run-and-gunners have naturally surpassed it in most regards, the creative vision and polish that made it famous do still show. But this port is simply lacking, especially in comparison with similar recent efforts like the brilliant "Chronicles of Mystara" port of the classic Dungeons & Dragons arcade brawlers. It's just thoroughly pedestrian - functional but with no flair, no fan service, nothing to show the LOVE that fuels projects like this. You'll get more options and extras by running the original game in an Amiga emulator. Although, if you do that, you might still want to buy the game just to give money to the people who've worked on it and placate your weaselly black pirate guts. I know that's what I did. :)
