Amiga version


This was a quite a solid little helicopter sim, with good graphics and sound, challenging game play, and a wide range of combat scenarios. The other thing I remember is that it was incredibly complicated to control at first and took a lot of patience to get into.

The reason behind this was that all the cyclic, collective, weapons and targeting controls were all controlled by the 2 button mouse. Holding down or clicking one, or the other, or both buttons on the mouse plus moving the mouse up or down actually activated various functions - as well as the mouse being used as the cyclic without, plus a keyboard full of key commands to boot!!

The main storyline was that you were hired by the US Government from the US Army to fly the new AH-73M prototype helicopter in various hotspots around the worlds. The sim did have quite a nice animated intro giving details of how the operations were started and how you got chosen to fly in them. There were no training missions as I recall ( you could have done with a few for practice with the controls! ) you just went straight into the campaigns.
 















MiGMan thanks Rob "Bomber" Henderson for the recollections.
