Simcopter

Just a really fun game. Anyone have it? A buggy game, but fune nonetheless.

It is worth buying, if you are a wierd person who likes cheesy graphics! though nobody will sell it anymore, you might be able to buy it in a multi-pack with the Sim Classics.

How you do that? Have you ever seen the UFO? Have you ever shot it down? The UFO does some freaky things, sometimes it throws trees around. Other times it sucks up people, spits water, and sets fires.

It is fun to catch the speeder. I also enjoy parking my helicopter in the midle of a busy intersection, and walk back to the hangar to get my other one, or two.

EDIT- WHOAH look at all those cheats! Cheater.

Oooooh UFO are fun. Have you ever beat the game? Well I wont spoil the suprise but it has something to do with aleins. I rember shooting one down with my apache a looong time ago after like a million hits. Toss up trees? Never seen that. They ALWAYS set fires for me.

Speeders, howdya catch em? I usaly land on them. But some times spray water on them either way it works.

 

[Ohwell]

It's a LOT easier to down a UFO with missles...

Speeders, I land on them also. I sometimes, if I am in the Apache, shoot the car. But to get the credit you havce to get a cop, so it is easier if you have an officer in with you.

Did you ever get your guy(or helicopter) stuck in the solar plant? I have, the copter doen't even blow up sometimes!

 

[spycatcher34]

Yes i hate getting stuck. Sometimes the game generates like a robber in one and so they are stuck and the cops can't get to him and you can't hit him with your copter.

When you have a fire do you call the fire dept or do you take care of it yourself? Same with medvacs?

Definatley the departments! I have better things to do besides putting out fires and saving people, like raining bullets on the rioters

Actually, I am not that mean in the game, I sometimes turn the transport all the way up to help them... Though they always want you to land in the most unaccesable places...

What is your favorite job? I like criminals, and I always get every unit on to him when he is in the car so it is really dramatic (and loud!).

 

[spycatcher34]

I used to like arsonist b/c if i didnt get him fast he would start a fire. I always got a cop off a roof and thanks to me excellent piloting skillz I got him so close to the dude he was just feet away. I hate transports, they either want ot go two feet away, will run away when you try to pick them up, or want to go cross town- to a tree.

Oh yeah how many cops have you got in one helicopter at the same time? I used the bell and got like 8 or so once it took me an hour:crazyeyes !

3

But I have gotten 7 medics in at once, they are a bit smarter than cops... Though I usually have lots of Transport people in the bell so I can drop them off... At 600 feet in the air!

When playing the regular game, I really hate the first helicopter. It is so horrible! Especially with water, and even a little damage will make it haywire! I am a horrible pilot, Always crashing into high buildings :]
Do you fly high to avoid buildings? Or do you fly low, to get there quicker?

 

[spycatcher34]

I dont like the first helicopter either. Does the amount of water have a bearing on the manverability? I never knew. Do you play the carreer mode or the user mode? How can you drop people so high up? I know you press like the "D" key but I'm only able to use it for when I'm landed and need someone to get out.

Do you fly high to avoid buildings? Or do you fly low, to get there quicker?

It depends. On the city layout, the helicopter, and call. If its a residential are where its a lot of houses and a medvac I fly inches above the roofs. But if its a downtown fire, well, I just get close enough to press "F2".
