This is an excellent game. Well worth playing even today. Sideways scrolling shooter, a British version of Scramble in some ways. Red Rat software produced some of the best games for the Atari800xl

Do you have what it takes to fly the advanced Laser Hawk helicopter deep into enemy territory and blast the headquarters of all those inferior '80s home micros? Only one way to find out... Let's Play! https://youtu.be/FxuByIrLVAQ

The best part is where you have to destroy the Commodore-building :)
