Your Favourite Helicopter Game (or Sub-Game)
After a 20-month wait wait and a recent messed up poll (thanks for deleting!) I have started this long-awaited poll as Fred recommended !
This can be a helicopter game (or helicopter sub-part of game, e.g. Armor-Geddon). Any game (not just a traditional sim) is valid for inclusion where you are given the appearance of being in full left/right up/down/turn control of the helicopter and are free to roam where you please - thus the reasons why Desert/Jungle Strike are included and yet Silkworm/SWIV are not. Now get voting, and remind me if there is any missing that you want adding. Last edited by Jim; 24 April 2004 at 11:38. |

What? Fortress Underground isn't on the list? What a travesty!

Please add Zeewolf/Zeewolf 2, when poll editing allows. They should count as one entry really, as 2 is basically 1 with some tweaks.
I'm not gonna vote for either of them anyway, because I prefer the Strike games, they just popped into my head. ![]() |

There should be separate Gunship and Gunship 2000 options, as they are very different.
The following should also be added: Jetstrike Thunderhawk Super Huey |

I've edited the poll and reset the votes.
Super Huey 2 has been removed, as it's not an Amiga game. Jetstrike takes some time to getting used to (mainly due to the controls being tricky). Anyway, fixing a poll because of personal views is the action of a cad! |

It's a new poll, so the votes are reset. Otherwise it is a skewed poll, as the original voters might have voted differently if the new games had been an option.

The others I have played in the list felt too quirky & less like a combat game, air cavalry was created to be fast and manoverable over sensitive or complex control systems in games loses that feel. Otherwise you might as well be using a 100% flight sim IMHO

I deleted your first poll and I have voted for Zeewolf. Including Hunter is a tad tenuous, no? I know it includes a little helicopter action but....
What about SWIV ? Or SIlkworm? They have a helicopter player sprite. |

Silkworm/SWIV are just horizontal/vertical shoot-em-ups, you cannot go back where you came from - the scrolling controls your movement. I had to include the likes of Desert Strike in the poll as this is probably the only helicopter game a lot of people have played on the Amiga. If we stuck to a strict "3D Flight Sim" model then pickings would be even slimmer. |

I love these polls on here - they just turn into arguments about what should or should not be included. It's just like Mornington Crescent!
