Maxis released an arcade side scroller called Gunship made with the Klik and Play system. It was apparently inspired by this game.
AH-64 Apache actually CANNOT mount the Sidewinder missile at the wingtips as depicted on the arming screen. The manual explained that it should be quite possible to do so, and there was no other air-to-air missile that Apache can mount at the time.
In the sequel, Gunship 2000, one gets to choose between Sidewinder and the smaller Stinger missiles (in a 2-pack!)
Gunship was so popular, it spawned a "strategy guide" from Compute! Books titled "Gunship Academy".
This game is a member of Computer Gaming World's Hall of Fame.
MicroProse had to release a later version of Gunship to deal with faster computers. The game was also not easily playable in CGA, due to the similar color of HUD controls vs. targeting radar.
