Choplifter DescriptionFly a helicopter on missions to rescue P.O.W.s. Four different levels featuring desert, sea, caves and city rescue. Avoid and shoot enemy jets, ships, tanks anti-aircraft fire. Digitized speech and catchy background music.Know anything more about this game? Game PlayBasic idea is to fly your helicopter to each 'prison' and shoot the door off. Be careful not to shoot any of the POWs as they escape, land then pick up the prisoners and return back to base, you get additional fuel for each prisoner returned (you carry a maximum of 8 at a time). Idea is to rescue more than 20 prisoners per level, if you get shot down and lose too many the level restarts. Bit Bonus points for rescuing maximum number of prisoners (24). Spending too much time of the ground alerts tanks, or flying saucers on later levels to your location they appear at the bottom of the screen and start to shell you. Also be careful of rotor blades and landing on/shooting POWs. Great digitized music, and speech. POW's shout 'don't leave' if you fly off without them. Or scream when they're killed. The screen features some really nice parallax scrolling, especially on the first level, and lots of color.

Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operators might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up. Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector. For a clue to value, compare how many people have this game vs. how many people want this game and then click on the eBay links to help determine an accurate price range.
