Choplifter (1982)

from The Arcade - Deep Dive · host Christian Heinke

In 1982, while everyone was busy zapping aliens and chomping dots, one game dared to be different. Meet Choplifter - the revolutionary Apple II game that flipped the script on video game violence. Instead of racking up a body count, players jumped into the cockpit of a rescue chopper with one mission: save lives. This isn't just another retro game story - it's about the moment gaming discovered its conscience. Ready to discover how a humble helicopter rescue game changed gaming forever?
