Chip n' Dale: Rescue Rangers is a video game for the NES. It is loosely based on the Disney cartoon about crime-fighting chipmunks of the same name.

[edit] Storyline

The game begins with an exposition scene of Gadget speaking to Chip and Dale, about the latest scheme cooked up by Fat Cat. Then the game presents a map of various locations throughout the city, in a similar format to other Capcom games such as Mega Man and Bionic Commando, that allow the player to choose which levels to enter into. Each individual stage is set-up as a side-scrolling action game where Chip and Dale can walk, jump, duck, and pick up various objects to throw at enemies and bosses. Each character can withstand only three direct hits before they lose a life, and there are no passwords.

After defeating the first set of levels, an exposition scene reveals that Fat Cat has kidnapped Gadget, and it is up to the player to save the day. The other guest starring characters make occasional appearances to help out the player, and bosses are defeated by tossing a special projectile at them.

[edit] Game play

It can be played either one-player or two-player simultaneously. In two-player mode, Controller 1 is Chip, Controller 2 is Dale. This popular game was followed by an unsuccessful sequel for the same console shortly before new games for the NES were discontinued by most distributors.
