Game Description
Strap into the cockpit of a rescue helicopter in Choplifter!, a gripping arcade action title brought to the Sega Master System. Players take on the role of a daring pilot tasked with infiltrating hostile territory, dodging enemy fire, and safely extracting hostages from war zones. Every mission demands quick reflexes and precise maneuvering, as one wrong move can cost lives.
What makes Choplifter! memorable is its high-stakes tension — balancing offense and defense while carrying fragile human cargo. Originally a computer classic, the Sega adaptation added bold colors and fluid gameplay that highlighted the system’s ability to deliver arcade-caliber action at home.

- Rescue stranded hostages while avoiding enemy tanks, jets, and anti-air fire
