Overview
Defend the skies in a challenging, 7800 adaptation of an arcade classic. This vertically scrolling shooter game was first released in 1985 as an arcade game, and became a hit thanks to its fun, challenging gameplay and detailed graphics. Though Tiger-Heli has been ported to numerous other consoles, it never made its way onto an Atari console until now. Fly across 4 challenging stages and destroy 12 different enemy vehicles and infrastructure as you rack up your high score.
You have been given command of the Tiger-Heli chopper, one of the most advanced pieces of equipment available, with orders to take down a rogue nation plotting worldwide destruction. Maneuver your chopper over dangerous terrain with hostile fire trained on your position. Cripple their defensive capabilities with blasters and bombs to rack up as many points as possible. Recruit Mini-Helis to fly at your side to double your firepower. Your goal is to make it through four stages into the heavily fortified military base known as the Mega-Fortress.
