Hi, I am trying to find Chopper like game I used to play 20 years ago. It looks exactly like this https://media.pocketgamer.com/artwork/na-glir/chopper_i1.jpg but it was from jungle (not from desert).

Skimmed list of arcade vertical shooters with a chopper and early jungle or jungle-like theme...

There are WAY more with planes, spacecraft and dragons, but these are the ones I spotted with a chopper:

Ajax by Konami

Gyrodine by Crux Co. Ltd.

Hammer Away by Santos/Sega

Ketsui by Cave

Liberation by Data East

S.S. Mission by Comad

Thunder Dragon by NMK

Tiger-Heli by Taito

Twin Cobra by Taito/Romstar

Twin Cobra II by Taito/Romstar

Twin Eagle by Taito

Twin Eagle II by SETA Corp

I may have missed some, but if it isn't any of these, perhaps it wasn't a helicopter/chopper game?

Thank you, nice collection but any of these is what I am looking for :(.
It was exactly Chopper I but from jungle. It was the same game.

. The same music, the same style but from jungle. I am not mistaken. I see it like it was yesterday.
This is ridiculous. I lived in some parallel universe back then or what :)

There are four (4) versions of Chopper I. MAME calls the ROMsets:

CHOPPER.ZIP (US Ver 2))
CHOPPERA.ZIP (US Ver 1?)
CHOPPERB.ZIP (US)
LEGOFAIR (Japan)

Let me look into A, B and LEGOFAIR and see if any are Jungle themed.

Chopper does have a jungle stage, you can check it in a playthrough

roslof

...and I checked the other variations. None start with the jungle stage. Just in case, I tried changing the "Difficulty" DIP switch, but it doesn't affect which level loads first.

@mitu
I went through video but there was no level from jungle I am looking for :(.

While I can't find anything any port of Chopper I or anything with exact UI or music, maybe check Sky Adventure or Sky Soldiers.

Sky Adventure starts with a jungle theme... but not with a helicopter.

Sky Adventure

Neither are helicopters, but they're both vertical shooters from SNK (like Chopper I). Best I can think of right now.

@roslof
It must be Chopper II or Chopper I v.2 or something like this. I never saw it in any library on internet. I saw it only with my own eyes between Dragon Dragon a KungFu Master coin machines.

roslof

@sirren with you. One thing for certain, it should have come from SNK. Might help you on your continued search. Cheers!
