==Overview== [[File:Choplifter title.png|left|thumb|The title screen of the [[Apple II]] game ''Choplifter'']] In ''Choplifter'', the player assumes the role of a combat [[helicopter]] [[aviator|pilot]]. The player attempts to save [[hostage]]s being held in [[prisoner of war]] camps in territory ruled by the evil [[Bungeling Empire]]. The player must collect the hostages and transport them safely to the nearby friendly base, all the while fighting off hostile [[tank]]s and other enemy combatants. According to the backstory, the helicopter parts were smuggled into the country described as "mail sorting equipment." Although the [[Iran hostage crisis]] ended the year before the game was released, Gorlin has stated "the tie-in with current events was something that never really crossed my mind until we published."<ref>[http://www.dadgum.com/halcyon/BOOK/GORLIN.HTM Interview with Dan Gorlin in ''Halcyon Days''], by James Hague.</ref>
