Description
Choplifter is a side-scrolling action/arcade game that puts you in command of an attack chopper. Your mission: Go behind enemy lines and rescue up to 16 hostages per level. Be careful, though, because tanks and enemy aircraft will try to stop you -- and they won't stop shooting while you are rescuing those hostages!
Originally released for Apple II home computers, Choplifter was later ported to the arcades and a number of video game consoles. Many imitators and homages would follow.

Trivia
After
Choplifter! was released for the Apple II, it was not only ported to numerous other computer and console systems, but also converted by
Sega into a coin-op arcade game. This makes
Choplifter! one of the few 1980s games to start on a home system and later appear in arcades, instead of the other way around.
