Kids today will never know the screeching sound of a hostage getting killed under the helicopter. I pumped a lot of quarters into this game. Amazing gameplay!
Loved this game as kid - I now realize that what made me hooked on it it the swoosh-swooshh of the helicopter blades. Top three arcade with Wonderboy and Kung-Fu
Back in the day, it didn't take me long to master this game. This was when Sega was gaining traction in the industry. I remember hearing the hostages screaming if they got shot or crushed by the chopper.
Omg.U don't know how meany years i searching this game!I remember i played in a Game hall in Hungary (i born in Hungary) and i played this game but i remember not enough just 20 hostage escape and always falt in the 3th stage,maybe 30 or more need escape.I onlye 10 years old maybe when i played now i almost 40.But so mutch good time spand this arcade game for me. THX so mutch now i know what need to download the MAME simulation.God bless u!
I remember flying backwards through caverns well. Such a good game. One trick was to rapidly hop so those tanks don’t come. 07:15 Cheat mode engaged. 😂
The only arcade game i was really good at. I could pass all four levels over and over again and even flip the score board. To play it properly you MUST have the actual arcade flight stick joystick setup =)
And those initials at the end... Who knew that Richard Stallman was an ace at a proprietary game. I didn't realize the SMS port of this game was actually pretty good. The arcade version is clearly superior, but the difference isn't as big as you'd expect for a port to an 80s 8-bit console.
Esse era o jogo da minha adolescência ...virava 3 vezes com 1 único crédito ... Cara da loja dizia ...tem que liberar a maquina ...outros querem jogar ....😂😂😂😂😂
Shoplifter is legendary with Spectacular graphics and STUNNING gameplay The levels are 2Fast 2Furious The action is Fast and Furious This is a classic arcade game with a vengeance
Wow, the Master System/Sega Mark III version is way harder! If you touch anything, you're dead: enemies, ground and buildings that weren't destroyed beforehand. The port is very well made, though. Graphics and sound very similar to the arcade, as it seems.
For years, I didn't know what this game was called. I must have been only about five years old, when I played it a few times on a machine at the local chip shop (A British thing.). I was absolutely terrible at it, I didn't understand the gameplay aspect at all. I was just happy flying the helicopter, and was annoyed at everything in sight trying to shoot me down. For the sake of closure, I need a rom hack version which removes all the enemies and just lets me peacefully fly around.
I notice the originator played out the 5th sortie to dispense of his lives. Does that mean the game keeps repeating the sorties over and over or was there an end to the game?
The difficulty is fairly extreme; you'll take ground fire from cannons, tanks, and jeeps, as well as air fire from enemy planes. You can't stay in any place for long, especially when picking up prisoners. This is one exciting game.
I think I was playing this game in my 8th grade computer class . Teacher got mad cause I was supposed to be doing my work instead of playing games. Plus I had a mean Teacher
I can't get this to work on MAME anymore - says the ROMs are no good, and also says "no good dump known" for some of them. Yet it used to work. Any ideas?
Why the digital USA allowed so many hostage to be capture and we only have one chopper times must be tough up on the digital hill ! Getting a digital vote for rescue opps dang even in video world old school games things remain the same Great game though back in the day !
According to game sack, this machine is just 8bit but i doubt as the graphics & sounds seems to be 16bit,, unless only the cpu is 8bit,, or it uses 8bit chipsets along with expansions and tricks to simulate 16bit,am very curious about this.
I have this actual arcade cab in my garage.. It's hard as SHIT.. It's fun but man can it piss you off with no continues.... This "mame" looks way easier.. I do like how you know to tap up while people load to stop enemies from shooting..
Nes versoin is the only 8 bit version instead of the 7800 and SMS versions, that had the 4rth sortie stage, with the new city. Still like the 7800 and SMS versions better though.

One of my favorite arcade games. When I first played it I was hooked.
Yes, it's inspired our game alienblackops, maybe a little bit harder.
The opening is great
"That helicopter! Its here to save us!"
Machine guns open up....
If Sega decide to put out more Sega Ages stuff, I'd love to see this and Bank Panic. Both games deserve to be updated and preserved.

That´s why it's inspired our game alienblackops
Brilliant, one of my all time favorites.
Never did get to the last level.
A very underated game imo.
My new idea part 2
Me too.. That´s why it's inspired our game alienblackops
I saw this in an arcade a long time ago and decided to play it on a whim. No regrets. I was hooked immediately and had a lot of fun.
Back in the day, it didn't take me long to master this game. This was when Sega was gaining traction in the industry. I remember hearing the hostages screaming if they got shot or crushed by the chopper.
40 yrs later I finally found it. Thanks
oh my god i remember this game! i used to be the best at it, we always used to stop in the 7-eleven after school to play it
I have the PCB in an actual arcade console...this game is so hard, and you make it look so easy.

This game is very challenging. Thanks for the playthrough, I've never seen these later stages of the game till now.
The noise you mention is a hostage saying "Thank You" I believe.
Filipe Estima A very high pitched "thank you".
That's what i thought too...
It was. It was a lot clearer in the actual arcade game.
Always thought They saying 'take it' (as in 'take off')
Really?@@bozotheclown169
I remember flying backwards through caverns well. Such a good game. One trick was to rapidly hop so those tanks don’t come.
07:15 Cheat mode engaged. 😂
I thought I was the only one who did that! Me and my mother used to play this game on SMS. Nostalgic meta flying backwards. Lol😂
Kids now a days, will never know the real life of gaming :-D
soy niño y este juego esta de 10
懐かしい。
若いころは、ゲームセンターでこのゲームをよく遊んでいた。
でも、結局は洞窟の面がクリアできなかった（笑）
it has past 27 years since i played this game and until now i see it again!! wow
Era un as en este juego. Hoy no paso la tercera pantalla aún. Hermosos recuerdos de la adolescencia
Que nostalgia amigo... 😊
This was one of my favorite games at the arcades when I skipped school
in the 80's..... "OVER HERE"
my first console - videogame ever, it was christmas and i had a sega master system + choplifter
Por Dios es uno de mis primeros juegos arcade cuando tenía 6 años
childhood memories of playing this at the arcades in felixstowe.loved this game.
Wow a classic loved playing this.....
Finally I found out,after so many years,what the hostages are saying:Thank you!
8/30 de la mañana ya estaba yo esperando en el local de vuelta de casa ..solo para jugar a este hermoso video juego !! Lo amaba
Y cuando te quedabas sin fichas? Te quedabas dando vueltas deleitándote, aunque sea, viendo a otros jugar!!! Que tiempos aquellos... Nostalgia 😢
Una maravilla que nos hizo pasar momentos s inolvidables
Scoring over a million when I was young. Now I can't pass 100 thousand!!!
It's a classic I love it
This arcade game is super hard. I honesty battle with it! I'll try play this again soon.
Choplifter is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING and STUNNINGLY AWESOME
We agree!
Sure! That´s why it's inspired our game alienblackops
This game was real fun back in the day
I remember my family owned one these machines and how hard this game was lol
Increíble este lo jugué en 1988... q recuerdos!!!
i love this game.
The only arcade game i was really good at. I could pass all four levels over and over again and even flip the score board. To play it properly you MUST have the actual arcade flight stick joystick setup =)
Whats up with the intro?. Some guys waving for help and the rescue helicopter fires?. :)
Was this a false flag operation?.
And those initials at the end... Who knew that Richard Stallman was an ace at a proprietary game.
I didn't realize the SMS port of this game was actually pretty good. The arcade version is clearly superior, but the difference isn't as big as you'd expect for a port to an 80s 8-bit console.
CJ B say yes one to go choplifer and chopper first round
COOL GAME TOO, I LOVE THE NOISE WHEN THEY GET INTO THE HELICOPTER....HEHEHEH THANKS 4UPLOAD....GOOD MEMORIES IN YOUR CHANNEL....
Esse era o jogo da minha adolescência ...virava 3 vezes com 1 único crédito ...
Cara da loja dizia ...tem que liberar a maquina ...outros querem jogar ....😂😂😂😂😂
I had 8 year with that vídeo game I remember. 1985/1986.
This game is cool, but it's very difficult. Your skill is incredible.
Wow first time seeing the arcade version, only played the master system one
Shoplifter is legendary with
Spectacular graphics and STUNNING gameplay
The levels are 2Fast 2Furious
The action is Fast and Furious
This is a classic arcade game with a vengeance
I think it would be a polemical game similar foi gta, but shoplifter it is…. Don’t get caught stealing!!!!
i was playing glory days on the ds and this game feels very similar to it
Nostalgic!
Thank you for Upload!
When I was a kid, 85-86 approximately, in the original game the chopper had a different sound!
Awesome..
Thanks for the vídeo
Wow, the Master System/Sega Mark III version is way harder! If you touch anything, you're dead: enemies, ground and buildings that weren't destroyed beforehand. The port is very well made, though. Graphics and sound very similar to the arcade, as it seems.
10:47 Kobe!
Thank you for this i always wondered how the rest of the game was after lvl 2.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Glad I could help!

C'était l'un de mes jeu préféré en borne d'arcade
Looks like you got a bit bored when the 1st level repeated at level 5! Great work getting there, this is the only time i'll get to see level 4!
Wonderful game. A true gem imo.
that's right!
THE MEMORIES!!!!!! 😯😯😯😯😯😯😯😯😯😯😯
ファミコン版と比べてグラフィックが綺麗だね。
当時アーケードでこのゲームでてたの？
みたことないな～。
Amazing, Sega took an Apple II game, and made an arcade version.
Wow looks so easy I remember this game being so hard 👍🌿
Bro … this shit was dope 💯😎🔥
It's just like the VG (video game) called: 'Speak and Rescue.'
Loved the Sega Master System version, but WTF is a space mine, which flies upward in a zigzag motion from that underground silo at 1:24 ?
@Arjay9975 did you at least hit the buttons to get them to bail out with parachutes?
I notice the originator played out the 5th sortie to dispense of his lives. Does that mean the game keeps repeating the sorties over and over or was there an end to the game?
Puzzlefan30 false information, in the arcade version you restart the level instead of game over when over 12 hostages died.
Pretty much.
Jogava no bar em 1984 ô saudade viu
Goodmemories😢😢😢😢
Gran partida
Es mi juego favorito y lo tengo en mi canal subido
Gran video
Pero en la ultima pantalla ni disparaba
@NadrianATRS I think this game was actually supposed to be about Iran. It was made a few years after the American hostages were being held in Tehran
I cant find a working Choplifter ROM... Where can i get it???
The difficulty is fairly extreme; you'll take ground fire from cannons, tanks, and jeeps, as well as air fire from enemy planes. You can't stay in any place for long, especially when picking up prisoners. This is one exciting game.
Please tell me that afterwards you joined the Air Force! What a talent!!
gracias amigo🙃
Great game
2019 , first time seeing this game .
cool choplifer good game
2:50 files straight through a group of enemies and their shots :)
awesome stage 3 and stage 4 future city....
Here from Edward Snowden's book
This was very monotonous, what I really enjoyed about it was the noise the hostages made when you accidentally shoot them of crushed them! 🤭🤭🤭
I think I was playing this game in my 8th grade computer class . Teacher got mad cause I was supposed to be doing my work instead of playing games. Plus I had a mean Teacher
horas y horas jugandolo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
arrh, I was an Ace to this game. *sob* :-)
wee-oo! (thank you)
The Sega Master System version was very close but missing a level
Imagine trying to play this backwards with a broken controller.
Oh, vai bater meu recorde...
Creepy "Thank you"
I can't get this to work on MAME anymore - says the ROMs are no good, and also says "no good dump known" for some of them. Yet it used to work. Any ideas?
Mannnnn. 😢
nice
In 1988 my rekord was around 30000000 point. 😊

+kylel l Difficulty dip switches were probably set to hard on yours.
Da War die Welt noch in Ordnung
well played, i got to 3rd level with infinite lives and just gave up it bloody hard but in an addictive way.
has anyone ever completed this???.
I did
7:15 fireball passes through the helicopter, active cheat?
@MamePlayer i thought sortie 5 looked familiar.
Wow!!
Nes versoin is the only 8 bit version instead of the 7800 and SMS versions, that had the 4rth sortie stage, with the new city. Still like the 7800 and SMS versions better though.
Joguei muito esse jogo em fliperama.
