Blast from the past: SimCopter

I recently started playing Simcopter again. It’s a game from 1996, and around 1997 or 1998 I’ve played it for the first time, and I only had the demo. Still, I thought it was an amazing game.

And I still think it is. Sure it has some flaws and bugs, but the gameplay remains great.

What do you have to do? Basicly you get in a helicopter and extinguish fires, resolve traffic jams, catch robbers and transport (injured) people. There’s not a lot more to it, but it’s always challenging, because after a while you’re just packed with missions, so you have to transport 4 people, while there are 2 arsonists on the run while there are riots all over the place causing traffic jams.

Here are level 1 and 2, played by me, unfortunately without sound. Future videos hopefully will have sound, if I can get it to work.
