Fun in Simcopter

brings back the good oldd daysss

Wow i was 6 when i played simcopter i just wanted the apache and blow everything up

You can perform the train rescue by waiting in the path of the on-coming train, hover about 10 feet off the ground. When the train passes under you, the victims will automatically be shoved into your chopper :-)

i remember this one mission someone had gotten hurt on top of the never stopping train and i crashed like 200 times while trying to land, pickup, and take off from a moving train. great game tho.

You had to use the harness to get them off. Eventually the train would blow up if you didn't get them off it.

My god, the memories, the fucking memories.

Aw yeah. I played this a LOT. I remember once a paramedic got himself hit by a train. Oh, I also blew up a nuclear power plant with my special helicopter. I'd also always keep making people go nuts with the "Greet" key which I think was F10? "Be happy!" *hot blonde shoots at my helicopter* I'd do that "Greet" thing next to hospitals like crazy and take the people over there and get money! Even the dogs got injured!

I used to sit for hours playing this game on my 486 machine with 98SE.

Once in a while I pull out the CD to play it and bring back memories. There is an option to play from CD ROM without install. I find that it will say "can not find Gluide.dll" (which I found happening on more than 1 computer). If you had this problem also, do this. Search the CD for that file. Should be in a system folder. Right click and use open with. Choose SIMCOPTER.EXE on the CD to open it. Should help it start.

hmm good point, i had that problem too, which is why i always installed, but thanks for pointing that out! :D

No problem. At least I know I'm not the only 1 that had that issue.

Had kinda the same with other games doing actual "install." It will say that the Dir. X needs update but then says it's not a MS certified file. I skip it and proceed. Start the game and it says can't find D3D such 'n' such. Do kinda the same thing. Find it on the CD. Copy and paste in system32 folder.

I sit there saying "yu stupid computer, do I have to do everything for yu." HAHAHAHA!
