Rescue Raiders is a game by Sir-Tech Software for the Apple II. The player operates a Choplifter-esque helicopter defending a user-created armored column. The objective is to create a force that can overtake an opposing column to permit a van filled with explosives to reach the enemy base at the other end of the playing field.
The helicopter begins with three weapons: heat-seaking missiles, machine guns, and bombs. As the game progresses, additional weaponry is introduced.
In 1991 Three-Sixty Pacific released Armor Alley, a recreation of Rescue Raiders for Mac OS and DOS. It added network support, which allowed up to four players to go head-to-head.
These games subsequently inspired Super Army War for the Game Boy Advance and its Nintendo DS sequel, Glory Days 2.
