Choplifter III — About this game
Choplifter III for Game Gear puts rescue at the centre of helicopter combat. Fly into hostile territory, clear enemy units and land where hostages can board. The helicopter carries up to ten people, so meeting the rescue quota takes repeated trips rather than a single sweep. Returning safely matters as much as destroying enemies. Watch the damage bar and the selected-weapon indicator while avoiding gunfire, birds and harmful clouds. Lettered pickups supply weapons such as bombs and missiles. Fifteen missions span five sectors, and passwords allow a return to specific stages. Plan a route between pickup points and base instead of staying in the air until every threat has been destroyed.
