Chopper Rescue is a true arcade-style game with an unusual plot.

An aircraft is flying across the top of the screen, dropping bombs and radio-active waste onto the heads of some poor scientists who gradually become entombed in the green, gungy waste.

You must fly your helicopter as your fuel ticks away and use your blaster to make shafts in the waste, to reach the scientists and carry them to the safety of the helipad.

If your chopper is hit by a bomb or a lump of falling waste, it explodes. The explosion is multi-coloured and noisy, which is as it should be.

This is a true arcade quality game with an original plot (I believe), with excellent sound effects, well-chosen colours and a high degree of skill level required.

There is a high score feature and on-screen score which change colour in true arcade style.

The only thing that I could find fault with were the instructions, which do not tell you how to pick up the scientist.
