SimCopter

Get over SimCity in action-packed helicopter missions. Soar through pre-built cities, or import your own SimCity 2000 cities and see them in hyper-realistic 3-D. There are fires to fight, shipwrecked Sims to save and traffic to un-jam. SimCity 2000 not required but maps can be imported from that game. Nerves of steel recommended.

Trivia:
Sometimes included in lists of censored games because of the himbo controversy. One of the programmers, Jacques Servin, designed a civilian model with runway lights for nipples that wore skimpy speedos. These characters would seek out each other in the game for makeout sessions. They would also appear in extreme large numbers on certain dates. All of this was intentionally done by Servin in protest of the severe working conditions the programmers had to endure. But, an unintended emergent behavior occurred with the himbo characters, they would sometimes mindlessly swarm the helicopter. This resulted in hundreds of sliced up civilians and the player would earn massive amounts of bonus points when emergency vehicles were dispatched to cleanup the mess. Maxis fired Servin and corrected the problem soon after the game's release. This is not considered censorship because Jacques Servin secretly added the content without consulting the other members of the team that had creative control of the project.
