old helicopter arcade game

moabrocks · Feb 7, 2019

searching for the old arcade game where where you fly a Huey I believe horizontally to the left, find and pick up soldiers and try to return them to the base. Memory seems like it was a green line type game w/o any other real colors or extensive graphics. My searches so far uncovered "Choplifter", but that doesn't seem like the game I'm after.
I don't remember if it was on Atari or other home consoles.

kinda vague but ill just throw a game out there. is it armor alley? i know this is a dos game but it has many of the elements you are looking for except the rescue part.

It's gotta be choplifter, you may be mis-remembering the title

hmm,, lots of good replies.. I just don't remember color graphics nor flying over water. annnnddd yes, my memory is not so goooood.

+1 for Choplifter. It dont recall it on Atari 2600, but most likely was on Atari 800, C64, and Apple II.
Your description sounds like my first experience with the game, which was on the old green Apple II monitor.

Wasn't that PC ?, and that's no huey. used to love that game along with Apache

There was on on the PC although it was not a left to right scroll which was based in the Vietnam style. Dam name escapes me right now but i do remember trying it a few years ago and it would not work at all.

EDIT:
The one i was thinking of was called M.I.A Missing in Action

Here's link to the one i was thinking of apparently has a download link to it too which could be illegal and the only reason i havve posted it is due to all the info and picture's it shows of the game.
