One of those games in which you must rescue people with your chopper, this time in side view scrolling, wit cannons shooting at you from the ground, and a nice starfield.
Mostly, I've bombed the people I should have saved or or I've directly crashed against them.
I don't think they'll renew my contract.
2,25/5

Just about as unplayable as you can get. You just either constantly crash or end up shooting yourself. Most of these Players games haven't been great but they haven't been this bad and this unplayable.

This game is a clone of Chop Lifter, the arcade coin op. There are several clones available for the Spectrum, this one is not the best. Initially I thought I was playing Airwolf, because of the similarities of both Helis sprites, but
like expected from a Chop Lifter clone, this is a rescue game. You get to shoot enemies, but very scarcely. The main game is rescue 3 men at a time and bring them back to base, then start all over, each time a new enemy danger lurks around, you get missiles, tanks, etc. It's playable enough but a bit too simple and little care as been taken to small details, which rather spoil the game a bit.
