3-D Helicopter Simulator description

Extremely little-known helicopter simulator from Sierra. No specific plot no – you just need to control the helicopter with first person view and with possibility to change to other perspectives (e.g. side view), first go through the tutorial (only flights without battles), and then engage in combat operations, fighting with some imaginary enemy. Fuel in the game of course.

If you touch the name, then the game can be described as three-dimensional a stretch, but a certain detail of the landscape there, and some of its elements (different for different missions) even seem three-dimensional, plus has the ability to scale the image, and the helicopter our side looks good, but the instrument panel, on the contrary, drawn not too good and the management is difficult to attribute both simple and complex (although it is possible to fly in nearly all directions). Interestingly, supports a variety of graphics cards – from Hercules to EGA. You can play (i.e. to fight) together, and the modem (for the time this was unusual, of course). Perhaps it is this mode of the game and were focused.

The result of this is: the game is pretty strange, although there is nothing bad about her to say, of course - on the contrary, for its time it was innovative in many respects.
