Choky! Choky!

Choky! Choky! is a two-player shooter released in 1995 by SemiCom. Players control characters who bounce around levels, popping balloons and avoiding obstacles with bursts of energy. The gameplay shares similarities to titles like Buster Brothers and Pang!, offering a competitive split-screen experience where players race to clear the screen of targets. The game utilizes a combination of Motorola and Zilog processors for its graphics and sound, accompanied by Yamaha and OKI chips to generate music and sound effects. Controlling the characters involves using an eight-way joystick to maneuver and three buttons to fire projectiles at the numerous balloons scattered throughout each stage. While maintaining the core balloon-popping formula familiar to fans of the genre, Choky! Choky! delivers a straightforward arcade challenge for up to two players.
