I still can't believe how they managed to make such great animations of people with only 8 pixels. And the chopper animations, when it's hovering a little from side to side and then going to full speed... that blew my mind as a kid. One of my favourite games at that time.

I've always loved this game! It's simple but one of my favorites. It has great animation of the helicopter, jets, and the characters, I love the parallax effect of that fence row a bit to the left of the base, and there's something rather tranquil about the twinkling stars.

The difficulty is fairly extreme; you'll take ground fire from cannons, tanks, and jeeps, as well as air fire from enemy planes. You can't stay in any place for long, especially when picking up prisoners. This is one exciting game.

My Mom bought me a C-64 back in 1985, and the external floppy drive... I do not remember a screen being included, though. It had the really old school U connectors to connect to the TV set that you needed a phillps screw driver to connect... Did they offer a monitor as well? They may have had those monitors in the computer lab at Newman Prep in Boston, where I first used a C-64 back in 1984... I am fuzzy on what the monitors were, however. I do know they were NOT five foot (5') monitors, nor were they either monitors as small as five inches (5") - but I could be wrong... 1984 was a long time ago. - PS - The current Secretary of Labor went to HS with me at Newman Prep. He was a BOOB way back then, and he's an even bigger boob now, in 2023...and there are classmates who will back that up.

I am well aware that Choplifter is ancient, but invoking the C64's limitations as a justification for its ugliness is just wrong... Look at what the C64 could really do in games such as the sensational Mayhem In Monsterland.

+Privacy Matterson Will definitely check some of your stuff out! I agree in part about using the limitations as an excuse but in the same part you can't compare a game from 1993 with one from 1982. As with all home systems developers begin to learn more about how it works and what it can do/can't do as time moves on. Just take a look at PS3 games from 2006/7 V 2013 they're almost chalk and cheese
