I remember Fire Truck. It was hard.
Chiller I don't remember. I'm surprised that one made it to the floors.
However, Jr. Pac-Man is a great game. It was disconcerting at first (for the same reason Mappy was), but I was a kid. Now I love the game (as I love Mappy), and see it as an imminent successor to Mspac. (Superpac and that lot were all just hacks of a sort on the pacman theme.)
Further, the jrpac play shown there is quite masterly. The article author apparently hasn't played much pac or mspac very far, much less seen someone go to the killscreen on them - let alone seen a perfect game, which I'm sure requires at least some measure of 'corraling'.
That was almost a perfect board, too. He just needed to go up instead of the left - which would've fit his 'pattern'.

Am I the only one who thinks Chiller is a sick game to play.

I’m convinced Mario is a hobo.
He wakes up everyday in the same clothes, runs around in sewers, and collects coins for a living.
At the end of the day, he uses the coins to buy mushrooms

It was a product of its time. Splatter movies were huge in the '80s. The sicker and gorier, the better. Looking back now, a lot of the "shocking" special effects in those movies were hilariously bad, but it was pretty edgy at the time.
