Abandonware DOS title

3-D Helicopter Simulator

Released in 1987, this is less of a simulator and more of a fever dream where you pilot a flying box over a grid pretending to be terrain. 3-D Helicopter Simulator was ambitious for its time, with wireframe graphics that suggest a helicopter-shaped object doing helicopter-shaped things. You’ll take off, hover awkwardly, and then promptly crash into something invisible. It’s not about realism - it’s about imagination. A flight stick helps, but prayer might work better. Still, for anyone who’s ever wanted to fly a polygonal mosquito through a Tron landscape, this one’s a vintage treat.
