If you've never heard of Chip Chan Kick before I wouldn't be surprised. It's a legit fun single screen platform action game on the NEC PC-FX...not exactly a console many people know anything about lol
BUT...I am sure plenty of everyone on here has played Bubble Bobble or Parasol Stars before...and if you enjoyed those two Taito classics you would 100% love Chip Chan Kick as it's basically 100% a clone of those games. Really it feels closed to something like Parasol Stars than Bubble Bobble in how the mechanics of the game work but Chip Chan Kick is definitely wearing it's inspiration on its sleeve gameplay wise.
But seriously there is nothing wrong with a clone game. I mean everything is in some way, shape or form a clone right? But that got me thinking...what other games are just obvious clones of other successful games?
Think Zuma after Puzzloop from Capcom/Mitchell Corp or any of the "fast" 16 bit platformers that came out after Sonic (Bubsy, etc)
