Name: The Chaos Engine series (2 titles)
The Chaos Engine
The Chaos Engine 2
Author/Vendor: Bitmap Brothers/Renegade
Released: various
Type: Shooter
Language: English
Premise: One or two players 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)
Recommended Emu: Genecyst X
