Hostages have been captured and sixteen are being held in each barrack. One of the barracks has been blown open and, using your chopper, you must collect the hostages and return them to the Post Office.

Tanks and aircraft fire at you. You should either avoid or shoot at these.

A nice touch is that the men stand and save if they see you, as you land they come and climb on board. You may fly in all directions and rotate through 180 degrees to fire at whatever you want to hit.

Choplifter!

The graphics do not include any fantastic effects, they are simple and straightforward. The game could have been improved by having a 3D tape background to give it depth, it is very plain as it is.

The program comes recorded on chrome tape and loads without problems. The instructions are adequate - there is not much to explain.

You are given a chance to win a SX64 in a free competition which you can enter when you buy the game. A voucher also allows you discount off certain CBM 64 peripherals.
