Rescue Rangers

Remember being kids and having one game that you played with anyone and everyone? For me that game was Rescue Rangers. There's something magical about throwing an apple at your Hawaiian shirted friend when you should really be trying to avoid the mechanical bulldog running down the road. It's my opinion that Chip and Dale was the pinnacle of co-op platforming back on the NES for both it's brevity and it's simple learning curve. It was a game that could be beaten in 20 minutes and one that can be as easy or as difficult as you want it. One team could work together to bring down Fatcat's regime of evil or you could just be jerks to each other throwing crates at your buddy while they're trying to make a jump.

I think I know what I'm going to be doing tonight, provided I find someone who's up to it.
