CHOPPEROIDS: 1Player, Joystick. ÔÒÁÎÓÌÁÔÏÒ ÒÅÑÕÉÒÅÄ  ¨ØÌ ¦ ØÅ© You're a chopperoid pilot on a life- and-death mission. Navigate through the deadly asteroid field to reach a disintegrating sattelite with nine scientists on board. You must transport them one at a time back through the asteroid field to the safety of the heliport. After the game is loaded, you will see a title screen for a few seconds while the game initializes. Press the SELECT button to choose one of the 3 levels of play. Press the START button to begin play. One of your three chopperoids will appear in BLUE on the heliport at the bottom center of the screen, while your remaining copters stand by in the lower-left corner. Manuever the chopperoid with a joystick in port #1. Your goal is to navigate through the asteroid field to the landing pad of the satellite at the top left of the screen. A collision with an asteroid will force you to make a crash landing and switch to a new chopperoid. When you have landed, one of the stranded scientists will run out and board your chopperoid, which then turns RED. You must deliver your passenger safely through the asteroid field to the heliport at the bottom of the screen. When you land at the heliport, the rescued scientist will alight from your chopperoid and run into the base station, leaving your chopperoid ready for another mission. You get 50 points for each scientist rescued and a 250 point bonus for rescuing all nine. Forunately for you as the chopperoid pilot your craft is not defenseless. Use the fire button to blast any asteroids that come too close to your chopperoid. You will be awarded extra points for each disintegrated asteroid based on its size and speed. But you can't spend too much time blasting asteroids because all the while the research satellite is melting away. You have only a matter of minutes before it's all gone. When all nine scientists have been rescued, the game begins anew with a new satellite. There's no rest for the weary chopperoid pilot. If you fail to rescue all nine scientists before the satellite completely melts away, or if you crash all 3 chopperoids before rescuing all the scientists, the game ends. If you've managed to beat the high score, your total will replace the current high value. The game can be restarted at any time by pressing the START button.
