CHOPLIFTER!An Action Game by Dan Gorlin

Most of us would like to be heroes. Trouble is, weÂ’re often not properly prepared when the chance to do something heroic comes along. This is your chance.

In the area which lies a few miles east of Patagonia and to the south of Kurdistan lies the Bungeling Empire. This nation of militaristic ideologues has kidnapped the 64 delegates to the United Nations Conference on Peace and Child Rearing.

An ancient treaty between the United States and the Bungelings allows the U.S. to maintain a mail distribution center near where the hostages are being kept. You have smuggled an entire helicopter into the post office by disguising it as a mail sorting machine.

Suddenly you hear the sound of explosives. Looking out on the plain you see one of the Bungeling’s barracks aflame. The hostages are running about frantically, desperate for a chance to escape. Bungeling planes and tanks are fast approaching and lives may be lost. Your chopper is ready to go and fully armed – there is no time to waste.

Please purchase this package immediately. Read the instructions for operating your helicopter, and lay out your plans for rescuing these innocent people. Then get to it. DonÂ’t blow it. Being a hero isnÂ’t easy or everybody would be one.

• Outstanding graphics and animation.
• One of the best-selling computer games of all time.

STUN THE BUNGELINGS!

The evil Bungelings have kidnapped 64 of our delegates from a World Peace Conference. You must save them!

The delegates are imprisoned in a Bungeling stronghold. But we've got a secret base nearby, disguised as a post office. You've already smuggled in a helicopter, fully armed with a machine gun and bombs. You're ready to fly it into enemy territory, snatch the hostages from their prison barracks, and speed them to safety.

But be careful! The Bungeling forces are on the alert - just waiting to shoot you down. You'll need speed and skill to get past them and save the hostages. But you can do it!

SAVE THE HOSTAGES!

Get ready for the most heroic adventure imaginable! Sixty-four frightened United Nations diplomats are being held hostage behind enemy lines, and it's up to you to rescue them. In the dead of night, you pilot your smuggled helicopter from the isolated post office serving as rescue-mission headquarters, past defending tanks, jets, and guided missiles. You pick up as many people as your chopper will hold and carry them to freedom. Keep a sharp eye out, though - the enemy, a nation of lunatics called Bungelings, will be there at every turn to thwart you!
