    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.
