Rescue is a multidirectional shooter arcade video game in which the player navigates a helicopter over the open seas to rescue stranded paratroopers from enemy forces and sharks.[1] It was designed by Chris Oberth and released by Stern, as an upright arcade machine, in 1982.[2] Rescue combines the dual-stick controls of Robotron: 2084 and the core pick-up/drop-off gameplay of Choplifter.
Gameplay[]
The game uses one joystick for movement and one for firing as well as an additional "sub-bomb" button.[1]
Reception[]
Electronic Games reviewed Rescue in 1982. The reviewer comments: "With Rescue, everything ties together in a neat package that's not only fun to play, but increasingly challenging the further you're able to go into the mission."[1]
