Copter Combat
I found this old Pocket Arcade game as I cleared my childhood bedroom in preparation to move house. Looking like a clockwork GameBoy I couldn’t resist dissecting it.
The aim of the game is to shoot down all three helicopters using a yellow missile that travels downrange to the static targets along a cellophane strip. You aim shifts from left to right as the sprung-wound action slowly releases. Having shot all three helicopters, revealing ‘bang’ symbols, you can flip the ‘reset’ switch for another round of clockwork fun!
