    Is that the one where you would land and wait for these little guys to run into your helicopter, then you had to fly back to base and drop them off? As someone else mentioned that sounds like choplifter on C64. Also reminds me of a really great old school WW2 fighter plane side scroller. I can’t think of the name, but it was made by a company called broaderbund or something.

      You might be thinking of Jungle Strike, which was awesome, but on Sega Genesis.

      CHOPPER was extremely basic but so well done. I’ve never had a chance to use a C64.

        This was Choplifter, which ran on C64 and Apple IIe. I imagine it also had an 8086/8088 PC version. Not sure if that’s what you mean by “IBM”

        I do see something called Chopper Commando. Is that what you are thinking of?

        The other side-scroller I mention above was called Wings of Fury. Also on Apple II and later on 80x86. Whenever I think of Choplifter I always think of this next.

          Holy shit you got it! Chopper Commando is the one! You won the bounty - PM incoming. The others look fun by the way.

          Wings of Fury looks intense. I’m going to try to emulate all of these. Maybe even try to get a controller working for them.

          No, but I love all three strike games. There’s a new one coming out and I’m excited!

              I’m not having any luck searching for it. I read about it a few days ago, sorry.

              I realized in my search that I wasn’t even aware of the two games that came out on PlayStation.
