Do you remember this childhood classic "Squirrel Battle"?
The game was released in 1990 with a Disney license and produced by Capcom as a video game based on the Nintendo FC console.
The image of the two squirrels we control in the game is derived from the protagonists in Disney's classic animation "Rescue Little Luck Star" (also translated as "Squirrel Adventures" and "Rescue Commando"): Chip and Dale, the chipmingo brothers. It is also the prototype of the game of "Squirrel Wars". The black-nosed one is called Chip and the red-nosed one is called Dale.
This game can be said to be a rare FC game in our childhood, and the game supports single-player mode. And the two-player mode is very interesting to play. Mutual help and mutual attack. In two-player mode, you can pick up your teammates and unleash skills to throw your friends in the direction of the enemy. This was undoubtedly a very fresh way to play at the time, which also caused that in addition to feeling the atmosphere of joy, it would occasionally be "bad" to each other. For example, in the game, deliberately walk slower and drag the camera down. Or at a critical moment, throw a box at the character controlled by the little friend, so that his character is directly stunned. If you are unlucky, you will fall directly off the platform, resulting in a street fight. However, in this way, your little friend may start an offline "boxing match" with you.
Of course, in addition to the fun two-player mode, the setting of the game "Squirrel Wars" in the details is also very rich. For example, if we encounter a place that is too high to pass, we can use throwing something to pile up the height, and by constantly stepping on the faucet to make it turn off the water flow.
Even when we lift an apple that is heavier than ourselves, sweat will come from our heads. It can be said that the intentions and details of this game are perfectly displayed.
When "Squirrel Wars" first came out, his protagonists were two chipmunks, which looked very cute and funny, and the characters themselves had cute attributes, which was very popular at the time. And the enemies in the game are neither demons nor biological weapons, but animals in life, such as dogs, cats, bees, rats and the like. This style is very attractive to children who love to watch cartoons.
Throughout the game, we can also get surprises from the scene, such as some glasses that are larger than themselves, oversized pots, large sandwiches, and electric fans that hinder your progress. Until you pass the level, you will be curious about what new things will appear in front of your eyes in the next scene. The map of each level is very cleverly designed and at the same time very distinctive, even after many years, it is still impressive.
The content of the game's plot is also very simple, starting with the entrusted task of finding the kitten and until getting rid of the fat cat trap and competing with it.
However, "Squirrel Battle" is also different from other games in the way of attacking enemies, like "Contra" is shooting the whole time, and most of the "Kombat Whirlwind" is also hand-to-hand combat, although the attack methods are different, but they all have one thing in common, that is, there is no limit on the number of attacks. However, the attack method of "Squirrel Wars" is to attack the enemy by moving things and throwing them out, if there is nothing to move around, there is no way to fight back. This means that the number of attacks by the player is limited, and they must know how to use it fairly.
"Squirrel Battle" can be said to be a rare joy-to-play game in the era of FC red and white machines. If you look at "Squirrel Wars" now, it is still a high-level FC game. From its details, the scenes, to the gameplay of the game, it can make an extremely impressive impression.
