For some time now, I have been planning to replay some of the favorite games of my childhood - to see if they can stand the test of time. I grew up in the NES era, and today I whopped in an old classical game that I am sure many of you remember.
Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers
System - Nintendo Entertainment System
Released - 1990
Developed by - Capcom
Genre - Platform
Plot
The Rescue Rangers are going on a mission to retrieve a missing kitten for a girl named Mandy. As Gadget goes on ahead to scout the area and Monterey Jack is sent to investigate sightings of strange mechanical dogs with Zipper, Chip and Dale proceed through the streets and into a laboratory, where they are attacked by a crazed robot.
After defeating the robot, Fat Cat appears and reveals that "Mandy's kitten" was just a distraction so he could kidnap Gadget and force
Gameplay:
This is a side scrolling platforming game, that can be played in single player og 2-player coop. The game has 10 stages, where you can choose which stage to go to after completing one, and the player does not have to complete all stages in order to finish the game. Each individual stage is set up as a side-scrolling action game where Chip and Dale can walk, jump, duck, and pick up objects to throw at enemies and bosses. In coop you can also pick up the other player and throw them, allowing you to reach a couple of areas that are unavailable alone.
I rembered the game to be rather short and easy, and I can confim that still remains true. I completed the game in one sitting, after approximately 45 min where I died about 5 times. That beeing said, this is a game that is easy to pick up, the gameplay actually holds up surprisingely well, and I enjoyed my playtrough. The music is cathing, and if you have good gaming memories from this game from your childhood I recommend you giving it a shot - if only for a trip down nostalgia lane.
