NAME: The Chaos Engine series (2 titles)
AUTHOR/VENDOR: Bitmap Brothers/Renegade
RELEASED: various
TYPE: Shooter
LANGUAGE: English
PREMISE: One or two player can choose from an assortment of
mercenaries to do battle with a wide variety of mutants
in an apocalyptic setting. Collect money along the way
to buy new and improved gear.
IMPRESSIONS: The original did for sci-fi shooters what Gauntlet did
for fantasy action games. The second is a letdown on all
fronts save for the two-player split-screen mode, which
allows better freedom of movement.
VARIATIONS: The Chaos Engine (1993, states the original premise and
lets you choose from six mercenaries)
The Chaos Engine 2 (1994, only four mercenaries left to
choose from, and more reminescent of a dungeon crawler
than a shooter - this was never released, although
copies of a partially working beta do exist)
