Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers

Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers turns a city into a giant playground. Chip and Dale are tiny, so fences, pipes, flower pots and kitchen tables become mountains to climb, and every crate, apple or ball is a weapon to pick up and throw at Fat Cat’s gang. Played by two, it is one of the best co-op games on the NES. It is Capcom’s 1990 game, and it plays right here in your browser with no download.

3. Press down while holding a crate to hide under it: most attacks bounce off.
4. Collect the flowers and stars along the way, and pick your route on the map between zones.

About Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers

Capcom released the game in 1990, two years after the Rescue Rangers cartoon began. Its two-player mode, where one chipmunk can pick up and throw the other, made it a favourite for brothers, sisters and friends, and a sequel followed in 1993.
