Gameplay
Similar to Choplifter, players are required to rescue a set amount of people and bring them back to the helipad for the missions to end. Unlike Choplifter, in which helicopter must land to rescue prisoners, in Air Rescue, 
can be used to lower helicopter's ladder to pick them up. Helicopter is also armed for self defense: 4 different weapons can be changed between in helipads, and fired with 
.
Helicopter itself (which looks like a S-70) is lightly armored and one shot is enough to bring it down. After all lives are lost game ends and continue screen shows up.
