Hi :wavey:

When i was a wee lad i was playing a game on my nintendo. Stuff i remember

- you controlled a helicopter (simple controls, it was not a simulator)
- the game was a sidescroller, not top down, not isometric. It was Contra-view. (also, Contra-ish graphics)
- the main part of the game was rescuing people on the ground; as you neared the people a rope dropped from your plane and the people would climb the rope slowly. All this while you were still figthing stuff.
- it wasn't anywhere near the usual helicopter games where you keep going to the right and shoot scores of atackers; here the pace was much slower and you would even go down in caves and stuff
- it wasn't in the far future with really wierd stuff (you fought other helicopters mainly, and stuff on the ground iirc) But it did have several slighly SF stuff.
- first level was probably a jungle/island

That's about all i can think of for now. Help me find it pls.

:please:
 
I'm not sure - i can only find a few screenshots. It's possible.
I'll look for it tho.
 
There's a big chance this might be it.
A lot of things add up:

Even the caves:


But something doesn't feel right. I looked through all the series and i couldn't see the rope climbing civilians. That was the most fun in the game. But too many things add up. I will try to find it somehow.

So no need to close the thread yet, maybe someone has other ideas.
