I haven't even posted in Hatrack all afternoon -- a fellow employee got me started playing This Game and now I can't seem to quit

I have to rescue these people! [Big Grin]

Farmgirl, why did you show that to me?

I wonder if that will make the out of context thread? [Big Grin]

This is a fun game. Thanks for sharing.

my winch-man is a wimp. He should be able to take more punishment than that.

Posted by Da_Goat (Member # 5529) on :

So, wait, are we supposed to rescue the animals too?

Posted by Farmgirl (Member # 5567) on :

No, you don't have to rescue the animals.

Just check first to see who is most critical. Rescue the code reds first, then yellows, then greens (the greens will go yellow, and the yellows will go red if you take too long). And the winch man will give out if you take too long.

I got them all and almost to landing when I ran out of gas.

This is like the old Choplifter game, without the missiles to shoot at enemy tanks!

What happens if I need rescuing?

Posted by ClaudiaTherese (Member # 923) on :

[Eek!]

Heh, heh. I told y'all that spring was coming.

Posted by Derrell (Member # 6062) on :

CT, Is there something wrong with your eyes? Why do they keep popping out of your head like that?

Have you considered seeing a specialist about that? [Angst]

*scratches head* It makes no sense. I can't return to base. The helicopter just crashes every time.

Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :

My helicopter likes the ground.

Posted by Derrell (Member # 6062) on :

I can't get the stupid thing to hover. Real helicopters can hover in one spot. Mine likes the ground too, but the explosions are pretty. [Big Grin]

Posted by Farmgirl (Member # 5567) on :

You can't totally hover, but I can get close by tapping lightly repeatedly on the UP arrow (and control your tilt).

I don't know why you are having trouble landing -- I could -- except the time I ran out of fuel -- then your helicopter just goes straight down no matter what you do..

Bob -- if you need rescuing, I am fully certified in mouth-to-mouth resuscitation....

Posted by Maccabeus (Member # 3051) on :

I'm not out of fuel. Apparently you have to be exactly level, even on the landing pad, or you "crash". I don't care...this game is too tough for me.

Posted by MidnightBlue (Member # 6146) on :

I can't land this stupid thing!!!

And that's the problem!!!!

Posted by Shan (Member # 4550) on :

What's the problem?

"Harmless"

or

"only flirting?"

Grrr. I just spent over an hour with that thing. Well intermittent with Hatrack. But still!

Posted by Nick (Member # 4311) on :

I can't beat level one. I beat the training, but my winch-man always dies! [Mad]

Posted by MidnightBlue (Member # 6146) on :

I just almost had level one, but one of the people was about to die (they had been a yellow but went down to red while I was getting others and I hadn't noticed) so I rushed and my winch-man sustained multiple injuries.

Posted by Teshi (Member # 5024) on :

I managed to get level two (with the water) but it's so frustrating!!!! Arg!

Posted by Primal Curve (Member # 3587) on :

Geez guys. Didn't you ever play Choplifter?

Posted by Nick (Member # 4311) on :

I was one year old in 1985 Glynn. [Smile]

Posted by Hazen (Member # 161) on :

Another Helicopter Game.

This one is way easier, you just click to go up, let go to go down, and try to dodge the obstacles. My high score is about 1500.

Posted by Maccabeus (Member # 3051) on :

Yes, PC, I played Choplifter. I had a joystick, and you could hover. Landing was easier, too--if you tried to land on the landing pad, you landed, you didn't crash. I think maybe that was the case even if you were plummeting out of the sky.
