Choplifter III: Rescue-Survive is a side-scrolling action game released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Players pilot a helicopter through hostile environments to rescue hostages while avoiding enemy fire and obstacles like buildings and trees. The game features challenging navigation and various missions that test players' piloting skills in a dynamic battlefield setting.
In this third installment of the Choplifter series, it is once again your job to fly your helicopter through enemy territory to rescue hostages. The helicopter does not only take damage from enemy fire, but also from contact with buildings, trees, walls etc., which makes some levels difficult to navigate.
