Brand new Choplifter on Ebay!

Post by 16KVIC20 »

20 of them, brand new, starting at £199. Nothing to do with me, I just happened to look at what VIC 2o goodies may be lurking there, and I saw that.

I was sorely tempted, but there is no point, I have a Mega Cart, maybe others may be interested though.

I was disappointed with Choplifter for VIC-20. The first and only time I played it, I saved all the people and the game was over. You never level up, you just win, and it's super-easy. Number Nabber-Shape Grabber has more replay value.

I've never stuck with it long enough to reach the end. I always thought it was a nice looking game though.

I've always found Choplifter to be very well done and fun. Used to show it to friends as one of the best examples in VIC games of the classic era.
Also, it always had good reviews ever since it appeared on the shelves, up until the present day.

Didn't know it was so pricey, i sold my complete boxed set in vgc a while ago for a few euros :cry:

Don't be too sad Orion70, I think it's £199 for all 20 of them, which makes each one £9.95, you didn't sell the family silver after all!

I agree that it's a fun and impressive looking game. I think another impressive one from that era, albeit on tape, is Skyhawk.
