About the application:

Choplifter. One of the best arcade mini games ever. In Choplifter, you assume the role of a combat helicopter pilot. The user attempts to save hostages being held in barracks in place ruled by the evil Bungeling Empire. The user must collect the hostages (described in the backstory as "delegates to the United Nations Symposium on Peace and Kid Rearing") and transport them safely to the nearby U.S. Postal Service building, all the while fighting off hostile tanks and another opponent combatants. According to the backstory, the helicopter parts were smuggled into the country, disguised as a "mail-sorting machine". You must be attentive to protect the hostages from opponent fire as well as avoid hitting the hostages with his own fire. Rescue the prisoners by first shooting one of the hostage buildings to release them, landing to let the prisoners to board the sortie, and returning them to the player's starting point. Each of the four buildings holds 16 hostages, and only 16 passengers can be carried at a time, so a few trips must be created. When the chopper is full, no more hostages will attempt to board; they will wave the helicopter off and wait for its return. Each trip back is riskier than the latest, since the opponent is alerted and has deployed a counter-attack. For everyone who likes or used to play the C64 / ZX Spectrum / Atari / Apple II / MSX / BBC Micro / Acorn Electron games. This mini game brings back old times, is completely off-line playable and is lot's of fun. Enjoy it as much as we do!
