Copter Capers (A 'n F)
It's more than normally difficult to write about this game as it is hard to criticize and yet it does not merit great praise. Probably the most realistic appraisal of its worth can be best illustrated by saying 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder'.
Instructions are on screen and are more than complete, their appeal being enhanced by scrolling in the manner of the game Ghouls. Whilst there is no alternative to using the keyboard the few keys required can be redefined and in addition to a pause and mute sound facility the program contains most of the refinements accepted as normal.
The setting is the early 1900's with you flying a time-slipped helicopter. Your role is to rescue survivors from the sea whilst at the same time killing submarines and avoiding Air-ships. These Air-ships fire heat seeking missiles whose accuracy grows as the levels of play progress. Accumulate points for successful rescues and for kills made and finally proceed up the customary Hall of Fame table upon completion .
Following your achievements every two levels of progression sees an added task being that of landing your helicopter accurately on a points graduated landing pad avoiding other craft and defying the elements.
There are many nice touches within this program including descending ladders, good sound effects and pleasant graphics but, if you're over twelve years old, with little to enthuse about.
