==Platforms== [[File:Choplifter.png|thumb|280px|Tanks and a jet target the helicopter while hostages flee a burning building in the original [[Apple II]] game.]] ''Choplifter'' was [[porting|ported]] to many other home systems of the era. These versions were ports of the original Apple II game, not the later arcade version. These systems include the [[Atari 5200]], [[Atari 7800]], [[Atari 8-bit family]] (and a graphically updated version for the [[Atari XEGS]]), [[ColecoVision]], [[Commodore 64]], [[Commodore VIC-20]] and [[MSX]]. [[Germany|German]] publisher [[Ariolasoft]] published the [[Europe]]an Commodore 64 version. In 1986, ports of the arcade version back to home versions were developed for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] and [[Sega Master System]]. Not surprisingly, the arcade version and its ports are more colorful and intense than the Apple II version. It boasts more environments (desert, sea, caves and city) as opposed to the Apple's single [[desert]] environment. The arcade version is listed in the [[Killer List of Videogames]] Top 100 and one of the four best games in 1985. {| class="wikitable sortable" border="1" |+Version history ! System !!
