Classic Game Room HD - CHOPLIFTER! for Atari 7800 review

Classic Game Room HD reviews CHOPLIFTER! for Atari 7800 ProSystem! This side scrolling shmup style game mixed with a rescue mission has intentionally difficult shooting controls to challenge the gamer to dodge or fire at enemy aircraft and hot air balloons while saving hostages and transporting them back to a post office to be parcel posted home. Remember kids, when you rescue hostages from evil villains you have to use regular mail or Priority Mail, not media mail! Humans do not count as media. Choplifter was designed by Dan Gorlin and originally published by Broderbund. This version on Atari 7800 is not one of the better versions of this fun old school retro video game but still entertaining to revisit (it's my game from back in the day!). This CGRHD review of Choplifter has gameplay from the video game Choplifter on Atari 7800 from 1987 showing the helicopter shooting bad guys, landing on rescued hostages and saving them too! Too bad it doesn't have more than one level! The maximum score is 64. If you want a real score then get another version of Choplifter (like the Sega Master System version). Choplifter! should not be confused with Chopper Command from Activision, they are 2 different games.

It's his show, he can do what he wants. No one is forcing you to watch the iPod or PS3/360 vids.

Who came here from the Choplifter HD video?

[mireaux7]

if this is an advanced 7800 game, why does it utilize many of the sound effects from Combat,..one of the first ever 2600 games?

@VelvetKevorkian Who gives a shit how one says "Zed X Spectrum"? If that pisses you off, you have some serious issues man.

It is nice to see a good game on several systems. I do think that the Sega Master System version is the best, because the D-pad is the best for this game. The graphics are not as good, but a decent port for a classic game.

@VelvetKevorkian I, as an American, say bring it bitch
