Chopper Rescue›› Atari User Vol.3 No.5››On a mission into an enemy country five of your marines have been capsized into›the sea and you have to fly in to rescue them. You have one of the fastest super›helicopters, equipped with the latest armament, and your task is to rescue the›men as they struggle ashore.››This may sound easy but you have limited fuel and an enemy bomber is covering›the area dropping bombs and large rocks in an attempt to destroy your helicopter›and stop the rescue.››Your helicopter is controlled by the joystick plugged into port one and you fire›by moving it in the appropriate direction and pressing fire. By shooting›downwards you can blast a tunnel to the trapped men.››Once a passage is clear you can move the helicopter through the narrow tunnel.›You pick up a man by positioning your helicopter over the man and once he has›boarded the craft you fly him to the safe landing platform on the left of the›screen.››Watch for the plane which is dropping rocks and bombs - shoot it if you can.›Once you touch down on the pad the man will jump out and you can return to›rescue the next one. Remember, you can only collect one man at a time.››You start the game with three lives and lose one if you are hit by a bomb or›rock or if you crash into any other object on the screen.››The men can also be killed by the bombs and rocks. It's okay to land on a dead›man but not surprisingly, you cannot pick him up. If you crash when carrying a›man he dies and you lose a life.››There are 10 screens on the first level and you have to collect five men on each›one. When these screens have been completed you move to level two where you have›to rescue six men... and so on.››After 10 levels the game restarts at level one, but this time considerably›faster.›› SCORE TABLE›Action Score›Shooting soil or rocks 1›Picking man up 30›Shooting the bomber 50›Taking man to safety 60›Shooting falling bomb 100›or rock›
