The classic Atari 2600 game H.E.R.O. (Helicopter Emergency Rescue Operation) has been remade on the PC Windows platform. Just like the original game, the player uses a helicopter backpack to enter an underground network of mines to rescue trapped victims, while fending off various creatures and clearing obstacles. This freeware fanmade remake attempts to recreate the Atari-XL version from scratch – there is no emulation behind the coding.
