Atarifever Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I totally agree I have played Choplifter on both the 7800 and SMS. Lets just say the SMS version is a million times better. But it is also a million times different. This is like saying you think Joust 7800 is a million times better than NES Balloon Fight. Those games are similar, yeah, but they aren't the same game. 7800 Choplifter is not a rushed version of Choplifter (like Karateka is to other versions), it is similar to most other versions, and is very good. SMS Choplifter is a reimagined version of Choplifter that is better than pretty much any other version, ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desiv Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) I have to agree on Choplifter. I like it.. I only ever played the Vic-20 version before this(back in the day), which I liked... I read/saw reviews which didn't like it, and I was like, "Oh, that's too bad." Then, when I finally played it, I thought "this is pretty good." I still enjoy it. (And the Vic-20 version too..) desiv Edited January 30, 2013 by desiv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defender II Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 A remake of Karateka would be great. Make it like the 8bit version and with the abilty to save. A good candidate for the expansion systems capabilities? I hope someone finds the source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakasama Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I would welcome a remake of Karateka only if to kill that damn bird countless times over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much the second best version on a console. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trip_Cannon Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I know, right? This guy usually ranks them in order of what he thinks is worst to best.. graphically it stands up against the rest... for me it's just the gameplay.. kind of bleh overall..

Graphically it looks alright, but the tanks are way too long. It also plays like crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atarifever Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Graphically it looks alright, but the tanks are way too long. It also plays like crap. No it doesn't. It plays like Choplifter. Exactly like Choplifter. If you don`t like Choplifter, well, that`s another thing I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 No it doesn't. It plays like Choplifter. Exactly like Choplifter. If you don`t like Choplifter, well, that`s another thing I guess. No it plays like a crappy Choplifter. I grew up playing the Apple II version (in green monochrome no less) and then the Atari 8-bit version (the Broderbund version). Those play like Choplifter should. The Atari 7800 version is just... wrong. It feels off every time I've tried it. Just a matter of opinion I guess.

KevinMos3 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 The long tanks are really the only thing that ever bothered me about Choplifter. I thought it was a great port. Here's an edit with the tanks shortened and a few other graphical touch ups: Choplifter (Edit).a78 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allpaul Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 The MSX and SG1000 versions look like Jupiter is visible in the night sky.. The MS Dos (?) version definitely looks like the sun is out at night.. Weird.. Back on topic, if Karateka gets fixed up, I'm in for a copy!

Defender_2600 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I do have Choplifter on the SMS, but I never compared them because it's so different from the computer versions, I think of that in a completely different category (same with Montezuma's revenge). :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinMos3 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 BTW, those binaries in the post above are old and have been updated in the hacks forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
