Play LHX Attack Chopper (Japan) Online
Threading missiles through tight valleys while dodging jets feels tense, then suddenly peaceful when you're just hovering over a forest picking off tanks. The terrain actually matters—canyons hide you, cities force risky low flights, and running out of fuel is always a real threat.
LHX Attack Chopper came out for the Sega Genesis in 1992, published by Electronic Arts. It was part of that wave of military flight sims that tried to bring a little more realism to the 16-bit console, without overwhelming you with complexity. It stood out for its focus on the Comanche helicopter, and it felt like a serious attempt at the genre, even on a home system.
You pilot an LHX helicopter through a series of missions across different environments, from deserts to dense urban areas. Your main objective is to complete mission goals, which usually involve destroying specific targets, rescuing personnel, or defending allied units. The game uses a first-person cockpit view, and you manage your weapons systems, radar, and fuel levels while navigating. Two key mechanics are terrain masking, where you use hills and valleys to avoid enemy detection, and managing your limited ammunition and fuel, which adds a layer of strategic planning. The pacing is methodical; you spend a lot of time scanning the horizon and planning your approach rather than rushing in. It feels deliberate and tense, especially when you're low on supplies and still have objectives to complete.
