If you thought Broderbund's Choplifter was the ultimate helicopter rescue game then think again because Fort Apocalypse has arrived from Synapse Software.

You pilot helicopters on a lone mission to rescue sixteen men and destroy the dreaded Fort. Easy, you may think, until you learn that to reach the Fort you have to descend into the Earth's mantle, avoiding or destroying self-propelled mines, servo tank interceptors, robo choppers, laser ports, time envelopes and other hazards!

The game has amazing graphics, utilising fine scrolling (horizontal and vertical). Player missile graphics, redefined characters, and a multi-graphic mode display to name a few. American games actually run slower on the British PAL system because of the scanning lines difference, but if this game is supposed to be slower it must be impossible to beat in the States!

The price is £25 for a 32K cassette or disk.
