Description

Fly your chopper to rescue 64 hostages, avoiding interceptor jets, homing mines, and tanks. Challenging, realistic, and playful. Stunning graphics.
One of the few games that appeared first on a personal computer and later was translated for play on a coin-operated arcade game.
You really wanted to rescue these little people running out of their barracks, waving to your helicopter for help (and ignoring the enemy aircraft and tanks that were shelling them and your copter.
