Help: Name This Helicopter Arcade Game

[Jango]

Hi there,
I am hoping someone can ID an older arcade helicopter attack game.
It was a sit in. You sat in a cockpit which would move with your flightstick (hydraulics) and you chose areas from a map to enter missions to destroy naval ships etc.

It's driving me crazy trying to find this game

[aZz]

I remember that game cant think of the name tho, although sega had ported it to the mega drive so search segas catalog.

hey jango

im a member of a arcade/emulator forum so i will ask them there and get back to you

[Jango]

thanks guys. It was a great game and the hydraulics in the cockpit were great. Quite a hard game from memory.

[ROH]

hello jango

i believe the game is called air rescue, the wikipedia link to it is below

[Jango]

Sorry guys. None of these are it. Rather thasn a cockpit view this game has an arial view and you sit in a hydraulic cockpit mainly taking out ships and their aircraft on those ships

[ROH]

hey champ

another one that comes to mind is apache, link below



also heres a link to a list of most arcade games, hopefully a name there will jog your memory, good luck

Air Rescue might be what you are thinking of , made in about 1990 from memory there was a dual version and a dedicated single player simulator, but quite rare in Australia.

But more than likely it is Thunder blade made by Sega is 1987 ,
Heaps of these were sold all over Australia by LAI .

It was so popular the same cabinet was used for After Burner and made a fortune in arcades as well .

There is another machine I worked on far while ago but I cant remember the name of it now , it was a quite ugly green metal cabinet and weighed a ton !! another of the very few helicopter games that was fully moving

Hang on it come to me it is Metal Hawk , you can download the mame Roms from here

Metal hawk, that game was great, thanks for the reminding me.

[Jango]

Gerbertron and Joey - you guys are CHAMPIONs. That's it. It was Metal Hawk...
THank you to all

[Gerbertron]

Yeah thanks Joey

I'd been wondering what this game was called for a while now, and for some stupid reason i put the wrong utube on here, here's what I ment (Hopefully)

I put way to many coins into that machine as a kid. Never played it on a emulator. Going to have to fire it up in the Xbox and give it a play. I remeber being able to clock it on without to much trouble.
