Ah yes, SimCopter, one of the most notorious Maxis games ever (well, next to Streets of SimCity). SimCopter is a helicopter flight simulator developed and published by Maxis in 1996 for Windows. It is notable for being one of the first fully 3D games Maxis created, as well as being one of 2 non-SimCity games to let you import SimCity 2000 maps (the other game being Streets of SimCity). In the game, players control a single helicopter and perform random missions, such as firefighting, traffic control, or rescue missions. Players are awarded cash for successful missions, which allow them to upgrade their current chopper, or buy a new one. Players can own multiple copters, but may only fly one at a time. If the player losses all their copters, it's game over.
