Choplifter (Europe)

An adaptation of an action classic from Sega, Choplifter puts you at the controls of a helicopter tasked with rescuing hostages in a war zone while facing tanks, planes and enemy defences. The demanding piloting, the management of back and forth runs and the tension of the rescue form a simple but gripping concept, pioneering in its time. The 8 bit production stays readable despite its age. For a retro action fan, someone curious about arcade classics or a player after strategic tension, the title keeps a historical interest and a still valid challenge.
