Chopper

Chopper is a video game in the action genre developed by Severn Software and published by Sparklers originally released in 1985. It is currently playable on Commodore 64.

In this horizontal scrolling shooter with the screen constantly scrolling from right to left, you are the pilot of a helicopter who must shoot and avoid helicopters and balloons before trying to destroy a base. With 6 skill levels to choose from, the game is divided into three sections: in the first you shoot and avoid helicopters, but you can only move up and down. In the second section you can't shoot and, again, you can only move up and down while avoiding various types of balloons and missiles. If you touch any ship or missile you lose one of five lives and when they run out it's game over.

The final section is viewed from the side with the entire section on the screen. You face a base on a cliff on the left of the screen and to destroy it you must fire missiles down three thin wells in the cliff to destroy the energy. Once the three wells have been shot down, a gap moves up and down a wall in front of the base and you must shoot through the gap to destroy it. A helicopter keeps taking off and trying to destroy you as you fire your missiles. Between the sections is a refueling section where you must try to get your fuel tube into the fuel tube of a large plane while you are in the air.

It is possible that we have multiple downloads available when different versions exist.
