Two more nostalgic SNK video arcade classic games, Chopper 1 and The Next Space, have been released onto PlayStation Network as PlayStation Minis titles.
Pocket Gamer: As a critic, you need to have a large vocabulary. If you're interested in becoming a games writer then Chopper I might just be for you - I managed to invent approximately 33 all-new swear words during my time with it.
This Minis re-release (currently for PSP only) of SNK's helicopter shmup is an unabashed coin-muncher from the arcades of the '80s.
Digital Chumps: SNK Playmore brings back another arcade classic in its large library of games with 1988's Chopper I. This game certainly redefines insane top-down shooters. While it doesn't have the charm of The Next Space when it comes to crazy power-ups amongst waves and waves of enemies, it certainly brings a new form of difficulty.
Digital Chumps: Let me just add that I was pretty damn sure that Time Soldiers was the hardest game I've ever played. Hands down, it seemed like an impossibility when it came to actually 'defeating' the title. Well, I was wrong. The Next Space certainly starts out in the most innocent of manners, as it convinces you that it is a straightforward, top-down shooter. It goes as far as to give you some confidence and allows you to get used to the game and all it's glory.
