This was something we found on a shareware compilation CD back in the late '90s, and I've never been able to remember the title. It was a side-scrolling helicopter shooter (I'm pretty sure it was free-roaming horizontally, ala Defender) set in an urban environment; I can't remember if the chopper was named, but I'm pretty sure it was an AH-64 Apache. It was very arcadey, nothing like a flight simulator. I think it may have had a rescue element like Choplifter, but if it did it was rather secondary.
The thing that immediately sticks out in my mind technologically is that the helicopter sprite was quite large, probably 64x64 on a 320x200 screen. I know it was VGA, and by what I remember of the graphics I'd say it was mid-to-late '90s vintage, probably no later than '97 (when we got the computer.)
Anybody have any idea what this game was? I've been itching to play it again for years.
