Exciting shooter with planes and helicopters and parachutes

The Good
This is a Wickstead Design of NJ game programmed about 1984-1985. It has good graphics and interesting if limited gameplay. Helicopters and planes bomb and drop parachutists onto buildings and you play the gun shooting up at them. It works well and has great sound for the 2600.

The Bad
no scrolling

The Bottom Line
A great historical game programmed by Wes Trager later of Acclaim, and Todd Marshall later of CTW/Sesame Street. One of the first with great gameplay and sound, limited if interesting war-time graphics, and good difficulty levelling. Collectors item for sure.
