Hello, everyone! My first post here.
I remember playing a game, which I’m sure I played on the Commodore 64 (yes, I’m that old!).
The game was where you controlled a helicopter and you had to pick up people that were trapped in houses. You had to shoot the house to let the people out. There were aliens that would try to pick up a person and if the alien reached the top of the screen the person “died”. As the alien with a person was ascending you could shoot the alien which would then drop the person and you had to swoop down to catch him before he hit the ground.
You could also land on the ground to pick up people, but if you landed on the people it would kill them.
I believe it had a Defender style forward and backward looking radar at the top of the screen where you could tell if an alien was picking up a person and carting them off and if there were any people on the ground.
Does anyone remember this game and what is was called? Anything similar like it written in Java?
Thanks
