RC Helicopter
RC Helicopter (originally released as "Simple 1500 Series Vol. 53: The Helicopter" in Japan) gives players control of a remote-controlled chopper and plenty of challenging tasks. Levels include a house, train station, and a haunted high school; successful completion of a mission gives players points useful for new batteries, parts, and different helicopters.
Missions steadily increase in difficulty, and several hidden missions can be unlocked for play. RC Helicopter flight engine is based on flight dynamics for small craft, and the PlayStation's analog controller attempts to replicate the remote-controlling experience.

About This Game
A dad has just brought home an RC helicopter, and it belongs to the player now. It can be flown indoors for fun, or taken outside to complete a variety of missions for friends and family — tasks that range from cutting the grass in the backyard to filming ghosts. Each completed mission earns points toward helicopter upgrades or entirely new helicopters, and unlocks additional missions. The helicopter is fragile and runs on a battery, so both durability and power management matter.
