Rescue (1982 video game)

Rescue is a twin-stick shooter designed by Chris Oberth and released by Stern as an arcade video game in 1982.

[1] The player flies a helicopter over the open sea to rescue stranded paratroopers from enemy forces and sharks.

[2] As the player-controlled helicopter flies left and right, the cloud layers move at different rates, giving a parallax scrolling effect.

A "bomb" button releases a projectile straight down for destroying sharks and submarines targeting paratroopers waiting for rescue.

The reviewer commented: "With Rescue, everything ties together in a neat package that's not only fun to play, but increasingly challenging the further you're able to go into the mission.
