Heli-Shooter (ヘリシューター) is a discrete logic 3D combat flight simulator arcade game developed and published by Sega Enterprises, Ltd. Released in 1977,[1] it is an evolution of the 1970 Sega arcade game Jet Rocket, utilizing a CPU microprocessor and more sophisticated screen projection technology.

Featuring free-roaming movement above a realistic three-dimensional landscape, Heli-Shooter is the first 3D open-world game. It also features first-person shooting in a 3D environment, making it one of the earliest 3D first-person shooters.

Sega later developed arcade helicopter games that can be considered spiritual successors to Heli-Shooter, including Thunder Blade (1987)[2] and Air Rescue (1992).[3]
