Cave Copter (Arcade) by DonSkeeto  I was very excited when i saw a port of this game on the gp32. I have wasted many hours at college on this beauty in its various forms on the net and what seems to be very a repetitive boring game from first appearances pulls you in and you soon become addicted. The basic idea of the game is to guide the helicopter through the cave without hitting any of the obstacles, the further you get the higher your score. Sounds easy, well it is you only have to use the A button, you hold it to increase the height and let go to drop your height to avoid the obstacles as the chopper hurtles throught the cave. It starts out fairly easy and soon becomes devilishly difficult as you start tapping A like mad thing so you can keep the height right to dart through little gaps in the obstacles ahead. Its one of those games you will keep replaying just to get that tiny bit further than you did before and it definately has that "just one more go" factor which is always a good sign. Also the gp32 has the Coin and moving modes where you have to avoid the obstacles and collect coins (coin mode), and moving mode where you to avoid moving obstacles. The graphics are fairly poor on first glance but then they dont need to be of execellent quality as you will hardly have time to pay attention wondeful renderred backgrounds when playing. In my opinion Donskeeto did the right thing and kept it simple in the graphical department. This game is definately worth looking at, its one of those games that you'll drift into for a five minute play and waste half an hour on. So if you're a fan of simple addictive arcade style games get this little beast on your SMC quick. Download Cave Copter from GP32x.de Download Cave Copter from PDRoms.de
