Flojomojo Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 http://www.videopac.org/games/59/index.htm How closely does this play to Choplifter? Is it fun, or just rare and expensive? The fancy Videopac intrigued me, I only know of it from obscure magazine screenshots. I guess I need to fire up O2EM and go ROM hunting!

VPB--- Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Helicopter Rescue Videopac #59 is fun, rare and expensive. The prototype of this game was labeled MASH but Philips didn't buy the license. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superbee Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 VP 59 is something like Choplifter meets Battlezone. Check my video: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doug0909 Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 (edited) Why do you need that when you already have this? Edited July 14, 2018 by doug0909 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted July 14, 2018 Author Share Posted July 14, 2018 Ha ha ha, seriously. I wonder why they chose the same name? Pro: it's familiar Con: it has a stink halo around it many miles in diameter 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.BAZ Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 That is amazing for Videopac! How the crap did someone pull that off?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatPix Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 This game use the full capabilities of the Videopac+ mode, which is roughly equivalent to what you could do in BASIC on a CPC 464 computer. It's not compatible with standard O2/Videopac machines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VPB--- Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 This is the HELICOPTER RESCUE prototype. Eproms labeled MASH. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airshack Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Why do you need that when you already have this? Hahahaha! This game was so simple I was able to port it over to the TI-99/4 in BASIC, at the age of sixteen. My first port! Of course I misspelled the title screen to read “Helecopter Rescue.” Found it in the TI-99/4 Gamebase 36 years later! How fun!
