Planet Bob - Playing Mr. Heli (C64)

Hi there!

 

A cute little Non-R-Type shoot'em up from Irem, onverted by Probe Software:

I'm sure this game must have an amazing background story, but all I can tell you is that Mr. Heli is on a mission to shoot everything that moves in 3 different themed, pretty detailed levels.

 

They're all loaded separately, so each is considerably long and has Mr. Heli fighting through a variety of vertical or horizontal scrolling passages. At the end of each stage there's a bigger guardian, uhm... guarding the entrance to the real endboss.

 

The extra weapons system, no actually the whole game when thinking about it, reminded me a lot of Blood Money. I'm pretty sure that the Arcade machine has "influenced" the development of Blood Money a lot to say it politely ...</img>
