Rating: 4.4/5
Released in 1989 and developed by Irem Mr. Heli no Daibouken was released in North America as "Battle Chopper". It's a standard arcade "cute 'em up" with a great style, and lots of chaotic action. While it doesn't stand out too much from all the other stellar shootemup games on the PC Engine, it has charm and is an overall good time. One major change is the game is mostly a horizontal scroller, but your main gun shoots in front of Mr. Heli. You can turn around to shoot in other directions, but it does make the game somewhat unique.
