SOMETIME IN THE LAST CENTURY,
AN EXPERIMENTER WITH TIME,
SPACE AND EARLY COMPUTERS
CREATED A BIZARRE MACHINE.
ALTHOUGH PRIMITIVE, THE MACHINE
BECAME INCREDIBLY POWERFUL AND
TURNED AGAINST ITS CREATOR.
ITS POWER TO CORRUPT TIME AND
MATTER WAS OUT OF CONTROL.
A CLOUD OF CHAOS DESCENDED
OVER THE LAND.
HUMANS AND ANIMALS WERE
TURNED INTO RAVENOUS BEASTS.
ENTER SIX HARD NAILED
MERCENARIES FOR HIRE.
The Chaos Engine is a multiplayer overhead scrolling shoot-em-up game made by Bitmap Brothers. It was widely ported to both consoles and home computers, including the SNES, Sega Mega Drive, Amiga and PC (TenMinJoe adds that a Gameboy Advance version is under development). While superficially similar to gauntlet, it is very well
polished and has lots of variety in weapons and monsters.
Released March 1993. Awards include: SEGA Awards 1994 Best Action Game, SEGA Awards 1994 Best 3rd Party Game of the Year, POWERPLAY Multi Player Game of the Year.
