Insane to think the game is nearly 20 years old now honestly…. I picked it up near launch. Looked pretty awesome, and I liked the idea of unlocking parts to build my own mechs. Had no idea the bulk of it was online at the time….. played some campaign sorties then quickly realized…. Shelved it mainly, for Dead Rising. A month or so later a friend said he and his buds were picking it up to mess around and we started a squad. Would meet up online near nightly and blast through. Dang decent squad too considering half of them weren’t major gamers - it was all about communication. Key to victory. Also helped I was a major gamer and great at stuff like sniping/artillery. 🤣 We cycles through all the factions to unlock all the parts - I had about 98% unlocked before we stopped playing. Good times
Truly was an awesome game for its time! Have always wished for it to come back! So many memories of my friends scouting while I set up artillery to take out an enemy base in a few barrages…. Or sniping other players cockpits…. Ahhhh good times!
Would love to see a CH2 get released on modern hardware!
Had this on GameCube. Solid romp honestly. Riding on the coattails of success that was Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1,2 and 3, they tried to mirror it with BMX. And while the Dave Mirra series was good, it wasn’t nearly as smooth of gameplay as TPS was. RIP Dave, I’ll never forget your double backflip at the X Games.
My FBI handler on point tonight! I just posted a comment about wanting to see Rondo/SOTN and GBA/DS Castlevanias come to modern hardware either via NSO or more CV Collections, this is the option I’d prefer, and then this article pops up. 🤣😂😂
@Jawessome Crap! I missed that.... I woulda supported. I’ve still got my original hard copy of General Chaos, but no Genesis currently to play it on. Lol! Been debating on getting an old system, an AtGames retro remake, or a Retron multi system. Probably go with a Retron once I get some extra funds!
@jawessome Man I’ve been hoping ever since VC became a thing on Wii that General Chaos would once again grace us with presence, but alas no. Would be a great portable game. And I’m still irked that UN Squadron was a UK only release on Wii VC. Loved that game as well back in the day.
I love reading articles like this, as I grew up during this era of gaming. My first system was an NES back in 1986, and then just expanded from there. I loved my Sega machines, especially Sega CD and Game Gear. Sadly, as much as I wanted a 32X, I never got around to getting one. Opted for Saturn and Jaguar instead (was lucky to have tech head father). Looking back I think I would have enjoyed the 32X more than the Jaguar, but I thought for sure Atari was making a full return, lol. Still vastly enjoyed Alien Vs Predator, Doom, and Kasumi Ninja.
Oddly enough the game I wanted to play the most, Cosmic Carnage, was probably one of the worst on the system, or so I hear. Was really into the bloody fighters at the time, MK, Kasumi, Time Killers arcade, and CC looked like a nifty addition to that line up.
Question, anyone here remember General Chaos on Gen, or am I the only one in the world that played it? 😆

Probably the most random article I’ll see all month.

Shame though, was hoping it was coming to Switch.
