Air Rescue

Fly the rescue helicopter over a burning city at night. Each time the tall tower comes round, a man waves on top of it. Settle onto him from above to lift him off, or put out the fire first with a bomb, and then any touch saves him. Five men end a mission. Planes come in from the right: shoot them down with bombs. The red plane always arrives at your height and now and then fires a fast missile. Fuel runs down as you fly, so catch the fuel drop drifting across the sky on its parachute. A plane, the missile, a building or the man in the flames costs a helicopter.

Controls: Controller 1 (or 2). The stick flies, either button fires a bomb (hold it to fire again as soon as the last one is gone).
