General Chaos

General Chaos is a tactical-action war game that was released world-wide on the Sega Genesis in 1994.


 * Cannon Fodder: The seemingly-endless armies of Moronica and Viceria.
 * Color-Coded Multiplayer: Player 1 is General Chaos (Blue) and Player 2 is General Havoc (Red).
 * The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard: During close combat, the computer will input their attack commands faster than you can press the buttons.
 * This can be made worse when the game speeds up due to a reduction in the current number of on-screen combatants.
 * Downer Ending: When you lose the single-player campaign.
 * Grimy Water: Soldiers will lose health for every 5 seconds they are in the water and will drown if they run out of it.
 * Made of Iron: Soldiers will survive and shrug off bullets, rockets, fire and bombs... at least until they run out of health and die in a comedic fashion OR are saved by a Field Medic.
 * One-Hit Kill: The Launcher and Blaster have a small chance of turning an enemy soldier into a standing skeleton. The same applies to the Scorcher who can reduce an enemy soldier to ashes.
 * Player Mooks: When playing as a two-man commando squad, you get direct control of one of them and can move around freely.
 * War Has Never Been So Much Fun: Everything in this game is not serious business. Well, almost everything.
 * We Have Reserves: Soldiers on both armies will keep fighting and dying until one side achieves ultimate victory.
 * A Winner Is You: You have the option of beating the single-player campaign up to three times, but all you get is the same, simple, one-screen ending.
 * You All Look Familiar: Both armies use the same soldier sprites over and over and over again.
 * Invoked heavily when playing as an all-gunner assault squad.
