Choplifter was the very first game I ever played on the Master System, and the first time I became aware of parallax scrolling as a concept.

This is an awesome game to be your first experience on the console.

Dang!! I was not expecting the scrolling background depth effect on the SMS! 😳 And it's done so darn good!

They really did an outstanding job with that SMS port.

You see it in Hokuto no Ken/Black Belt as well.

Choplifter is a lot of fun. My first experience with it was renting the NES version, and though that version is fairly frustrating, I still had fun and rented it a few times. Sega did a great job up-porting this game to the arcade. I do prefer the arcade version over the SMS port of that version, but the Master System port is great too.

This is such a great game that really has that early 3rd gen feel to it. The NES port is really good and I even like the 5200 port but for the home console ports I've tried I think the SMS is the best. The arcade version though is probably the best way to play this.

I played the Eff out of Choplifter in the arcade I lived behing and on my beloved SMS. This is one of my favorite side scrolling shmup. There is so much good to say about the arcade and the badass home port the SMS put out. Winner: Tie The SMS pulls out so damn well if you haven't played the arcade in some time the quality will blur memories. Nice showing and another thats not easy to pickup and play. Nice job man!!!

This game rules! That's so awesome that you had the arcade right by where you lived, I would have played the hell out of it too if I had that readily available back then. I really like every port I've played but the SMS is my favorite of the 8 bit versions and it's actually one of only a handful that made it to the big 3 of the 3rd gen being ported to this, the NES & 7800. Thanks for the kind words my friend:)

@@RetroComparisons Yeah this is such a good game, a hell of a challenge in the cave level. Anyway man you are a badass keep up the awesomeness!

@@mikec3260 Thanks so much buddy!! Oh lord I don't think I've made it more than a minute into the cave level and that was like one time out of all of the ports that I tried.

Me too, that SMS port is very well done.

@MKF30 Ай бұрын

Doesnt look like a bad port the sms. I'd play it for sure

@RetroComparisons Ай бұрын

It's really good, probably the best 8 bit console port.

@@RetroComparisons Looks cool for sure 👍 Yeah sometimes the 8 bit consoles surprise us with a solid arcade port depending on the game.😎

Choplifter didn't originate in the arcade, but rather on the Apple II.

The arcade adds enough new material that it's pretty clear where the Master System drew inspiration. It's like Sega's take on Pitfall and Tetris.

@RetroComparisons Ай бұрын

It's always weird when the arcade port isn't the original kind of like Pitfall 2.

@@RetroComparisons Kinda like Ninja aka Ninja Mission, which was an 8-bit computer game that got an Amiga-based arcade port later on.

Graphics: Arcade Looks Like A MS Paint Drawing, And The SMS Has More Color With Widen Screen, Scroling Gives It Points Presentatuon: Nothing To Complain Sound & Music: Arcade Sounds Bad For A Arcade Game Since It Really Sounds Like A SMS Game, Which SMS Makes It Perfect Gameplay: Both Look Like They Play Smootly Game: Good Conversion

This is a very unusual situation where this was a computer game that was later ported to the arcade which maybe explains the audio.
