Sidewinder is a side-scrolling shooter. The player assumes the role of the sole survivor of a team of agents sent to capture the Sidewinder helicopter. As the pilot, the player must escape through caverns guarded by an enemy security system. The advanced technology of the Sidewinder means high fuel consumption. To refuel the helicopter, the player must shoot at fuel pods scattered in various locations in the caverns. To advance to the next level, the player must reach the landing pad located at the end of the cavern.
