legeek Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 Wow, I finally got to play Choplifter on 5200 with analogue two button control and it is so fun! I was used to the C64 version, and the added control makes the game so much better! Anyone else really like it? Cheers, Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeybastard Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 Yeah, Choplifter is a great game all around but the 5200 and the CV versions really shine in my book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory DG Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 I liked the 7800 version the best. The dark background on the originals made it seem like you were on another planet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZylonBane Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 Your favorite version is the most singularly godawful version? Hrm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZylonBane Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 The 7800 Choplifter port was by the same company that butchered 7800 Karateka. I'd say their incompetence has been established well beyond the domain of mere opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZylonBane Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 His opinion is that he likes the 7800 version the best. Actually that's a fact (he likes the 7800 version best), based on an opinion (the 7800 version doesn't suck). The opinion part is pretty inexplicable though, considering that 7800 Choplifter is inferior to every other version in every quantifiable way. It's kind of like those freaks who think 5200 Ballblazer is better than the 7800 version. BTW, the "dark background on the originals" is called night. We get it right here on Earth, every day. Anyway, the Sculptured (XEGS) and Sega versions were also set during the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah and I don't like the 7800 graphics either Cool. I don't like the blocky 5200 graphics so we'll call it even! Like I said before, the 5200 is nothing but a waste of solder and plastic.

Zaxxon Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 Choplifter is one of my least liked games of all time. It's fun for about 2 minutes max and then it just turns into,"I wonder how many people I can kill at once by crashing my copter into a crowd of them".

Charlie_ Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 Like I said before, the 5200 is nothing but a waste of solder and plastic. No. That would be the 7800. Chaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DracIsBack Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 No. That would be the 7800. Man, 5200 owners are a sensitive lot with some major penis envy! You still haven't recovered from your system being discontinued within two years of being introduced and replaced, have you? J/K 7800 owners (and Lynx and Jaguar owners) have it too but for a different reason. We had to deal with the Tramiels and their tight wallets - the 5200 was killed by Warner who at least invested some money in game development.

Judging the size of the 5200 vs the 7800 Id say the 7800 would not want to enter the shower if you know what I mean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DracIsBack Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 I forgot clean about that other thread, the obvious flame bait from ElectricTroy who prompty entered my "IGNORE" list. It also reminded my of the not-so-subtle biases of Sku-U and Tempest. I will give 5200 fans this: They can play ADVENTURE II and 7800 fans cannot.

oesii Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 I think you're heavily outnumbered around here, Drac. The 7800 probably has the fewest amount of hardcore fans, I think the number one reason is the NES was so dominant at the time. And a secondary reason is that many gamers had moved on to XL/XE, ST, C64, or Amiga computers by the time the 7800 came out. Both 1 and 2 apply to me But I admire your 7800 fanaticism Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
