    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.
