Remember Choplifter ?
Choplifter was a PC video game released in 1982 by Dan Gorlin for Broderbund. The premise involves saving hostages and returning them safely to a friendly base. While flying these rescue missions, the player must fight off enemies in the hostile Bungeling Empire. There were many versions of this game, the first being the version for the Apple II. Over the years, other systems ported this game, including Nintendo and Sega. Choplifter was also released in arcades. You can view a video of the Commodore 64 version here.

Good News Choplifter Fans! - Chopper is here.
There is an updated version for OS X! This version, called Chopper is published by Majic Jungle Software. Chopper is shareware and sells for a mere $15. This price is well worth the fun you’ll have! The lastest version, 1.2, features some really beautiful graphics and 3-D sound. There are 72 levels of gameplay in three difficulty levels. The game is different every time you play, because each scene is generated randomly. If you are a fan of Choplifter, you’ll be thrilled with the beautiful landscapes, graphics and sound effects in Chopper. You can download a trial version here, which will give you 60 minutes of gameplay. Somehow, I don’t think 60 minutes will quench a true Choplifter fan’s thirst; you’ll want to buy this one.
