Chip’n Dale – Guaranteed 8-bit stripper-free game!

Tic, tic, tic, tic et Tac, risk guards… That’s how the catchy song of the cult cartoon Chip’n Dale began. However, in 1992, the eponymous version of the Nintendo NES video game was released in France. Back on this blockbuster movie from another time it doesn’t seem to be untouched.

Chip’n Dale Video Test on NES with Gameplay

Tic and Tak, two detectives with inspiring hair

So Chip’n Dale is an 8-bit game،, which was first released on the Nintendo Arcade system, has been released PlayChoice-10 in 1989. Developed and published by CapcomIt was then ported to the Nintendo NES in 1990 in Japan. Previously, the Disney catalog starred with its bloated franchise portfolio, notably with Duck Worship Tales. When Chip’n Dale hit stores, I was lucky enough to catch it a few months before it hits my local little import store. At the time, the gap between the US and Euro versions was such that having an early version in your hands made you a village lord.

Among the anecdotes, I found out after many years that The hairy pair I saw were squirrels, it was actually a squirrel, small rodent mammals of the family Sciuridae! Having learned that Mario Bros. doesn’t turn into a raccoon, but a tanuki, I think video games will eventually make me a real Darwin. In short, other than that, the appearance of our rodents also hides an open secret that my pre-teen eyes have crossed. The Tac (Chip) and Tic (Chip) Floral Hawaiian Shirt and Adventure Suit are just imitations of the iconic Magnum and Indiana Jones outfits. !

The two bankable champs of the late ’80s really inspired the look of ferrets!

Some translations are sometimes of a questionable character. Here, the lack of translation is what confuses. In fact, to give a pair of heroes, the name of the strippers can make you smile at the time. Moreover, pronunciation errors may lead to more ambiguity, I imagine. Finally, note that the name of the series deserves recognition The late British interior designer Thomas Chippendale. Go find the link, I can’t see it.

Chippindale: Scenario

Inspired by the adventures of Tic et Tac, the video game experience is designed in a cartoon-style. You play as one of two avatars, which is your choice. Accompanied by your loyal companions, you will have to rescue the beautiful tool mouse from the clutches of the evil Catox. The very bad cat, public enemy #1 in the cartoon, has already kidnapped the little mouse. Fortunately, she was able to tamper with a device and hijack it where she was held. Thus, she communicates with you to guide you in the rescue process. For information, a second episode came to try to thicken the script, but it didn’t have the same success as its predecessor.

Little Gadget has been kidnapped by the vile Catox! Fortunately, it’s a trick!

Delightful graphics for a dreamlike soundtrack

Compared to the animation, the character design is great. From the point of view of aesthetics and sound, this small cartridge from 118 kb It sends a pixelated version of the original work with an accuracy rarely matched by this generation of consoles. The environment summons the extremely colorful universe of duck tales. The disproportion between characters and groups makes for a great show in the genre honey i shrunk kids. We will find this aesthetic in illusion castle employment huge engineBy the way, the same year. But on the NES, at the time, it was just beautiful.

On the one handAnimation, 8 bits of NES are used admirably And generate excellent positions. For example, your ball will stun you during boss fights and you will sweat while carrying heavier than usual items. When hiding in a cage, the eyes of the rodent scan the surroundings, etc. In short, this Small details highlight the visual richness and overall design quality of the software.

The graphics may act as a detail to you, but they meant a lot at the time!

Playing at the crossroads of masterpieces

Fly like Megaman, sting like duck tales!

Using the A and B buttons on the NES panel, The gameplay works great with the joystick. One key to jump, one key to grab/throw something, and everything else done in conjunction with the multi-directional crossover. You will be able to grab a bunch of weapons like chests or apples. You can throw them, right or left. Chests also allow you to hide there by pressing down. In this position, you can even throw the box low to the ground.

On your way, gather Bonus items Like acorns, stars or flowers. At the end of the courses, you can access an additional course that allows you to refuel. These moments of relaxation, uninspired, are always the same and do not evoke any particular difficulty. Depending on the training and challenges, You will also have to interact with the scene to move forward. For example, by jumping on the tap several times, the flow of water will stop. Again, these manipulations were revolutionary for the time and we loved them.

The immobility of Avatar, his manner of receiving and his movements in general are undoubtedly reminiscent of Megaman from Capcom Moreover. This Department of Physics, allied with itDisney World As We Already Met In Duck Tales, pushes Chip’n Dale to the top of the NES standards. Difficulty may not be adjustable The only downside, because finally, after a few hours of playing and a bit of focus, you’ll have finished it.

The gameplay against the bosses is basic and repetitive. However, it is fun!

Map and items, but above all players mode

You move from internship to internship, and you browse the map between exams. You can choose your own path and prefer one environment over another, that’s fine. Bosses close the main stages. It’s very easy to get frustrated. Often times you have to attack them with a red ball. The real challenge wouldn’t be not raising a self flag by bouncing your ball.

in the last, High score culture is not really brought up Where you can only monitor your harvest stocks. Thus, by pressing select, you can access the list of points where you will be notified of the number of collected objects, namely, living things, stars and flowers. This simplicity goes hand in hand with the lower requirements in terms of difficulty elsewhere.

Admittedly, the title is quite simple. But hey, the fun is elsewhere. Especially in the possibility of playing simultaneously. In fact, Very rare to get a title of this quality at that time, you can play two at the same time, each playing Tic or Tac. Even better, you can even carry your buddy to throw it at the enemies. This title is perhaps the precursor to the missing link for a collaboration like ours at AAA today… Darwin, if you look at us, we’re still talking about you!

Animation “cute”!!

Conclusion: Two prominent investigators who set the law?

And how are their law! This Chip’n Dale did not leave anyone indifferent. Talk to the fads around you and they will tell you either they still play with it or they remember it as it was yesterday. you know It is an electronic gameyou sanded Call of duty Not like everyone else, but remember that all of this would not have been possible without him Fun Essentials. And for fun, Chip’n Dale is at the top of the food chain.
