Choplifter Review | A Must Own On The Master System

Подписаться 11 тыс.

50% 1

In 1982, Dan Gorlin developed the game Choplifter for the Apple II computer. Four years later, Sega ported the game with updated graphics to the Sega Master System in 1986. Choplifter was one of the very first games I ever played as a child, and I have quite a few memories of it. The gameplay revolves around rescuing hostages and flying them back to your base as enemies zoom around you. Let’s get in the chopper and head into the horizon for this Choplifter review for the Sega Master System!

Hey friend this is another video that brings back one of my fondest videogame memories, as Choplifter was my second cartdrige (first was Alex Kidd in Miracle World), and I played it A LOT in my childhood. THe third level is indeed very challenging and the fact there is no continue makes it a hard game but it´s so well done that its fun to play until today. You didnt mention in the video, that the pilot can bail out with a parachute after being hit (by pressing button 2 many times before crashing) so it spares one life in the dead counting.Another easter egg is the Superman that appears if you hit 10 projectiles, which boosts the hostages speed.. Very cooL! Keep those Master System videos coming! :)

What a wonderful comment! I enjoyed reading your memories on Choplifter but I had NO IDEA that you could parachute out of the choplifter if you are going down. Hard to believe that 30 years later and I am still learning new things about this game! I will have to try this trick out next time I play it. Awesome suggestion and thanks for watching and dropping a comment for me. Happy gaming!

@@TigerChainsawVideoGames I hadnt played it in ages and had forgotten, but as a correction: its not actually parachute, but the hostages go out of the falling choplifter using some kinds of jets, u can save at least 2 hostages

When I first saw Superman in this game it was awesome. You even rescue The man of steel in this game.

@TigerChainsawVideoGames 8 дней назад

I love the Easter Eggs in this game! There's Superman, ET, and Jaws! Lots of cool little things. Thanks for watching.

Choplifter was my first SMS cartidge. We got it along with the system. Played the heck out of it those first few weeks. It was one of the games that made me want an SMS. Great review!

@TigerChainsawVideoGames 8 дней назад

That is very cool that it is your first SMS game! Heck of a game to be paired with your system at first. It's a very good game overall and one that showoffs how beautiful the SMS can look. Thanks for watching!

@MasterSystemMarceau 9 дней назад

SMS reviews? Heck yeah. I agree with your score. Really good fun shooter.

@TigerChainsawVideoGames 8 дней назад

Yes sir! It's a very solid game all around and does a lot of cool things on the SMS. Thanks for watching buddy!

A quality game for sure, and one I haven't played in an age. Great wirk TC 😎👍

Choplifter is so much fun! I really enjoy playing it from time to time. Thanks for watching buddy, great to hear from you.

@DanofWar101 8 дней назад

Nice review! I'm always amazed how they were able to get those kind of graphics out of that system compared to NES, and yet they weren't as popular over here! I don't have any nostalgia for that system since I didn't own it as a kid, but I can see why you liked that system so much! Great video and keep up the good work!

@TigerChainsawVideoGames 8 дней назад

The SMS certainly produced some beautiful games with Choplifter leading the way! It's a very solid game overall, but if you don't have any love for shooters or the SMS, you can skip it! It's a fun one though for me. Thanks for watching buddy!

@8BitBoyUK 9 дней назад

Great review TC. And ii actually learned a thing or two. Hover mechanic and firing at enemies at bottom of screen. Well done mate 👏

And here I thought the SMS King of Europe knew every secret! It's a nice little trick and helps a lot to avoid ground troops. Thanks for watching, Oli. Always great to hear from you. I hope your Summer is going great.

Thanks for this review! My local game shop has a copy, but I've been holding off because I wasn't sure how good it was. I also appreciate you using the full review scale; there are a ton of 6-7 score games out there that are quite fun especially if you enjoy the genre or are not bothered by the particular issues the game has. In this case it looks like something I'd really enjoy and will snag soon.

@TigerChainsawVideoGames 8 дней назад

I hope you get yourself a copy of Choplifter! It's a very solid experience and one that all Master System owners should play. I'm glad you enjoyed the review and the scoring scale. There are so many 6-7 range games that I've had a blast with. Thanks for watching and happy gaming!

@jakek5417 9 дней назад

Nice review. I also felt like it was a fun game that needed more content. More levels, bosses, and a story would have made this a "cant miss" game. I could not finish the first six levels until I realized you can fly backwards through the James Bond villain lair level with ease.

@TigerChainsawVideoGames 8 дней назад

I agree, I was really hoping for some more content instead of the repeating levels with different backgrounds. I love the idea of having a boss or two in the game. Yes, the trick of flying backward through the cave to avoid being damaged by the spitting lava is a classic! That cave level was so difficult when I was a kid. Thanks for watching!

Great video! I recently heard good things about Choplifter, so I downloaded it. I prefer Air Rescue, but Choplifter is as good. The first time that I've played it, I had the same question about the opening screen, when the helicopter starts shooting at people.

@TigerChainsawVideoGames 2 дня назад

Hey, thanks for watching! I need to check out Air Rescue as I've heard it is similar to Choplifter but never had the chance to play it yet. That opening screen makes me laugh every time. Thanks for dropping a comment.

@orangeblitz4786 8 дней назад

I'll have to play it at some point. Looks like a fun game

@TigerChainsawVideoGames 8 дней назад

You should give it a go if you ever have the opportunity. It's pretty easy to pick up and play! Thanks for watching homie.

I did play Choplifter on the Apple II a little at school, but that's it. I played a lot more of Sopwith on the old IBM 5150. It was definitely not as good as Choplifter, especially that SMS version! That looks slick! @3:18 rofl, I didn't even notice! Poor civilians. RIP. I love that you can just tap up a little while rescuing hostages to glitch out the ground attacks, lol This game looks fun! I'm sure modern gamers might not like it, but someone who appreciates retro games, like myself, can see the awesomeness in a game like this! The game over music is a lot of fun. The game songs I catch myself humming most are: Punch Out, Contra, Dr Mario, and Wario's Woods 😀(though that last one is my ring tone, so that probably puts it in my head) 6.5 seems fair :-)

@TigerChainsawVideoGames 8 дней назад

If there was anyone who was going to play Choplifter on the Apple II I thought it might be you! Even cooler though you played it at school! Yeah, I'm not sure what the chopper was doing but those poor civilians look like they wanted help, not to be blown into bits! That certainly is a cool trick with the lifting off and then touching down to avoid enemy ground attacks. There is a lot of fun to be had in Choplifter and I appreciate it for what it is on the SMS. The music is very good overall even if the Game Over screen is a bit extreme. Thanks for watching buddy!

@TigerChainsawVideoGames 8 дней назад

There's no point in playing this. If you can get to level 2 you will lose your life in 3 seconds and it took you all day to get there. It's garbage.

Bummer, I hope you give it another shot sometime! Thanks for watching!

@@TigerChainsawVideoGames I have about 50_ hours into the sms version of this game and reached level 2 only like 3 times and lasted about 4 seconds. I know you haven't ever got to level 2. Because I can tell. There is an actually playable game Sega made called Air Rescue which offers a high but manageable challenge.
