Keep the Chopper Flying
OK, This game will frustrate you. Do not try this at work.
The rules are: Hold your left mouse button down, it goes up. Release it, and it goes down. I suspect the real gamers will excel, but I didn't. I'd post my score, but it's so low, it's embarrassing. Another answer to what do you do all day.

Stupid f*$^%##@ game! Who would have thought that it's easier to destroy helicopters than to shoot sheep.

I tried 3 times and quit. That is one of the great things about retirement. If I want to I will, if not, I quit.

You should -- I got to 522 after killing about 150 pilots -- may do better later.
I must say though, this game is carpal tunnel waiting to happen.

One trick is that it drops a lot faster than it rises. Also, you've got to get used to looking ahead.
But, I stopped after a few trials, because it was putting a lot of stress on my laptop mouse button -- you tend to jab down pretty hard on that.

-- not to mention the wear and tear on the mouse cord caused by the friction of all those moving electrons...

If helicopters are so safe, how come there are no vintage/classic helicopter fly-ins?
— Anon
Apologies to Wayne Newton. I recall him saying this on tv many years ago but I can't find a quote. Paraphrasing:
How do you tell the difference between a good helicopter pilot and a bad one? The good ones are still alive.

465 after three tries, definitely tricky and fun! Perhaps I'll waste some time on it...nicely done.
Oooh, 1102 on 4th try, nice tip T-al! I find that rapid clicks of the mouse give you more control. Tap tap tap to inch up or down depending on cadence. From Adagio to Allegretto

I went about 500 ft before i got bored, this game has a lot of similarities to the old Pong game.
