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.

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

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!

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.

My helicopter likes the ground.

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]

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....

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
