Airlift

About

Airlift is a fast paced arcade title where you pilot a helicopter through chaos. Your mission rescue civilians as enemy forces tear through buildings forcing you to split your attention between dodging danger and navigating tight landing zones. Basic controls hide tight timing as every second counts before structures collapse. While clearly inspired by similar titles Airlift carves its own niche with frantic reflex driven gameplay. The BBC Micro port delivers sharp visuals for its time and the single player focus keeps stakes high without distractions. Players on retro forums often praise its addictive difficulty though completion requires patience, and a steady hand.
