Chop Suey is a martial arts fighting game developed by Adam Billyard for the Atari 8-bit computers.
The action takes place on a box-type stage, watched by an audience sitting in several rows of seats in front of two competitors.
At the top of each wall air vents will open occasionally, allowing scorpions to drop to the floor and scuttle away.
Adam Billyard wrote some routines to draw large bitmapped sprites, and he wanted to use them in a game.
He was at college at the time, and got so absorbed into writing Chop Suey that he missed his end of the year exams and was expelled.
