A500 The Chaos Engine - Intro

[nvize1]

Love this

[ToughGuyver]

Bitmap Brothers did a ton of awesome games. They all deserve sequels.

[MrAnthropophagy]

I haven't seen this game since the 90s!! It was epic!! I used to play this and a game called Alien Breed by Team 17. Can I play this on my Pc via an emulator of some sort? If so, can anyone recommend a good site to visit? Many thanks.

[ShiryuGL]

@MrAnthropophagy Google for WinUAE. =)

[MrAnthropophagy]

@ShiryuGL .....Thanks very much for your reply. Downloaded WinUAE today and am playing The Chaos Engine now. Thought i'd stop for a cuppa, as i've been on it for 3 hours now, and to say thanks. Cheers!!

[ShiryuGL]

@MrAnthropophagy Glad you figured it all out, it's not easy to explain to people who didn't have a Amiga how to properly setup the emulator. Enjoy. =)

[MrAnthropophagy]

@ShiryuGL Well it was a mixture of common sense, previous Amiga use and the help of a website as i got stuck on the switching images when it asked for 'disc 2'. Got it all going in an hour and have been playing using my Xbox controller ever since!! Going to play Syndicate next :0)

[ShiryuGL]

@MrAnthropophagy Just dont forget "Speedball 2"! Oh btw, I just uploaded my remix of "Turrican" from my upcoming album, check my channel for the most recent video and play it loud. =)

[PROMuffy]

Does anyone else see the connections to the first Matrix film? The computer turned against its creator, modified worlds, walls that vanish when you pick up telephones (in the built up levels), the mansion level, the character pictures at the start, the style of music... Or maybe it's just me :)

[foxmakeba]

This music still makes me wanna rave.

[MrNavvy69]

navvie ftw

[maastona]

If you think you are the Gentleman, fuck off. I'm the only Gentleman. Go away.

!!!=#1=!!!

[AugZF]

@KaosnGyn loved this game! so coolos!

[Happitec]

Best two player run-and-gun shooter ever made on the best computer ever designed.

Chaos Engine was also released for the SNES and Genesis but named "Soldier Of Fortune" The game is exactly the same except that Preacher was changed to Scientist and his bio was changed as well.

We grew up in a great time and we had some amazing games. Thank you Bitmap Brothers.

[ShiryuGL]

@Happitec Amen.

[DaveTheSodaGuy0]

@Happitec

so, the preacher became a scientist?

wow, and I thought people just recently became anti-religion.

[notyoursavior78]

@DaveTheSodaGuy0

That's a funny but probably true comment in this context. Great game either way though.

[neglesaks]

@DaveTheSodaGuy0 Probably because the jib about "his perverse side cannot be trusted" wouldn't jive with the US market. Just a guess.

[UnaGoblin]

Mercenary + Preacher is the shit!

[Stillwell86]

One of the best Amiga games there is. Especially in co-op!

[johnpeelslovechild]

Best Amiga game ever, and number 3 in my all time best videogames,

[lqfkdjvfhjvfh]

Navvie RULZZZZZZZZZ

[MrCaine]

Imagine if they remade this game

[Muffinthraka]

I always took precher as a sidekick 4 his medikit.

[ProSneakyD]

would be great to see this on xbox live arcade

[ElMariachi99]

OP this song was not made by nation XII but by Joy.

[ShiryuGL]

Absolutely correct. =)

[SPeacock]

I played this game so much, I even gave the six characters names :)

Mercenary - Eddie or Edward

Brigand - Gareth

Gentleman - Baxter

Navvie - David

Thug - Frank

Preacher / Scientist - Charles

Tell me what you think :)

[TheNightWriter101]

lmao crasiest thing i ever heard man but all power to ya.

'baxter' lmao

'gareth' hahaha

the navvie 'david' lol

[SPeacock]

I used the mnemonic (a way to remember a set of letters) "Every Good Boy Deserves Favour" (I made the C up on the spot).

[RGCFreak]

Noobs go Navvie and Thug!

[lorenzj86]

Brigand and Gentleman!!!!!!

[Blunder1248]

Ace game! Wish they made a new one, but same style thou not stupid 3D.

[Lenariet]

There was a sequel for the Amiga. It wasn't as great as the first game, though, as far as I remember.

[Feuchtnam]

That game was awesome!

Loved to play it co-op with a friend.

[Gamewitzer]

Preacher and Navvie all the way.

[robject09]

Back in the day!

[chunuma]

This game let me know I liked steam punk.

[MrNicefash]

preacher was cool as hell

[BraveDave]

That Prodigy-esque intro music gets me pumped just as much today as it did when I was 10! (I'm 27 now :P)

NAVVIE 4 LYF!!1!

[ultraflash]

Me too! Used to love just playing the intro over and over! Me and my sis used to play this 2 player, teamwork was great on this game.

[999mikhail999]

bad ass game !!!! spent forever playing this....!!

love it love it love it !!!

[Ankhtepot]

Thanks for posting this, cool to see this great intro after so many years, with mmories on one of best games of all times.

[His7021]

Hello!

Did "Nation XII" produce any discs?

Great techno songs.

Goodbye,

His7021

[okkamsrazor]

I have guided you here so you might set me free...the chaos has ended...YOU WILL BE REMEMBERED

[ShoCkV6]

Nostalgic moment ... 2 good!

[mentallogic]

Thanks for posting. I loved this game. Still looks sweet!!

[SHTorchico]

I always played as The Gentleman. They don´t make awesome games like these anymore.. :(

[tvhfproductions]

so true :/

[NoodlePrime]

Music starts at 0:24. Someone should really make a full mix/remix/whatever out of that, this small intro has a lot of potential.

[zooropah82]

Node : activated, entrance open, Level : complete ! :)

[ParasiticFlame]

Party power!

[loudandlovnit]

i use play this game all the time what a classic

[morderca95]

I lov this game... Node activated!

[mullin797]

i like the gentleman 'what he lacks in muscle he makes up for with whit' great memories though and a great sound track

[fortunatus]

The preacher

His perverse nature is not to be trusted.

XD

[nseagoon71]

When you used him as an AI partner he used to nick all the stuff that dropped off monsters, IIRC

[ParasiticFlame]

Yeah he did, the bastard. He could grab it fast too.

[wishcraft4u2]

@fortunatus They censored this out of the console versions for this game. In both the SNES version as the SEGA Genesis version this character is called "the scientist" and he has a completely different description.

[SPeacock]

@wishcraft4u2 That's only in the US/Canadian versions - the European/Australian versions still keep the original version of the character.

[Gamewitzer]

Learned something today! :)

[Gamewitzer]

Are there two Versions of this Game, one for old A500s and one for A1200 with AGA?

[gyromancy2]

post some amberstar videos

[Drakkan12]

Your damn right the Chaos Engine was born on the Amiga. Those were the day, running it from a floppy and then not noticing the loading times. And the music is just old school

[deferraz]

i didnt knew that this game was in this platform too, i played a lot on the genesis version ! =)

[deferraz]

can you post some gameplay movie !? :D
