Choplifter returns with 21st century graphics and a new twist on classic game play, allowing you to take control of a variety of different helicopters on over 20 missions. Bank, hover and sidestep around danger to drop down and rescue innocent lives.
After a daring rescue saving several trapped oil rig technicians from a devastating gulf accident, you have been asked to join an elite international helicopter rescue team known as C.H.O.P. R. (Coordinated Helicopter Operations, Preservation and Rescue). As a pilot of C.H.O.P.R. you will be trained to handle any situation: from distressed ship rescue to captured military prisoner extraction.
Hey, how it's going Choplifter? Oh, it's Choplifter HD now, I see. Honestly, I didn't expect to see you at this remake party, but I'm happy you're here -- there are a lot of games I'd like to avoid at this get-together. You haven't changed a bit! I'm glad to see you're still the same old side-scrolling, hostage-rescuing, enemy fire-dodging helicopter under all those flashy new 3D graphics. Good old Choplifter! Gotta love ya, even though sometimes you're such a difficult jerk you make me want to throw my monitor through a window. Read More »

Mrs. Carlson's elementary school class, an Apple IIe, and a sign-up sheet. Those are a few of the things that come to mind when I think of Choplifter, Broderbund's classic 1982 helicopter rescue game. Get your name on that sign-up sheet, which was perpetually full of names scrawled in pencil, and you could spend recess indoors on the computer "learning." It was fantastic. I haven't played Choplifter since, and so it was with a nostalgia-filled heart that I loaded up InXile Entertainment's reboot, Choplifter HD -- an arcade adventure sporting a fresh new coat of paint, but still playing very much like the 29-year-old original.
