You play a guy with a helicopter on his back and it is your task to rescue entombed children from an old mine. The game contains all levels of the original game by Activision as well as new levelpacks and an editor to create your own levels.
Might not cope with other “H.E.R.O.” clones when it comes to sound and graphics, but it really breathes the spirit of the great Commodore classic. In fact it’s that true, that it has the same issues like the original game, which are mainly control issues (it’s quite hard to keep the balance between falling down and flying up).
If you loved “H.E.R.O” when you were young, you will certainly like “Greenie” as well.
Another thing that really makes Greenie: The Helecopter Hero enjoyable for me is how it manages to stay interesting even after playing it multiple times. Many games feel repetitive after a while, but here, the experience still feels fresh because of the small details and different ways you can approach the gameplay. As you continue playing, you naturally start improving and understanding the mechanics better, which makes everything feel more rewarding. I also appreciate the balance the game maintains—it’s not too difficult, but it’s not too easy either. You can play it casually for a short break or spend longer sessions without getting bored. That flexibility is one of the biggest reasons why I keep coming back to Greenie: The Helecopter Hero. Overall, it’s the kind of game that doesn’t just entertain you for a moment, but actually gives you a consistently enjoyable experience every time you play.
