This is another one of those old games that you look back on and say "Who the hell is this made for?", just because it's so impossibly difficult. H.E.R.O. stands for Helicopter Equipped Rescue Operation. You play a guy who wears a portable helicopter on his back, and you fly into mines. You are also equipped with a laser beam for defense, and explosives that you can use to destroy walls that block your path. The object of the game is to rescue trapped mine workers. That sounds cool, but I don't recall ever actually being able to rescue anyone. Maybe I was just young and lacked the coordination. There are lots of things in the mines that can kill you, such as spiders, snakes, bats, and even butterflies (that's right). It would be cool to see an updated version of this game, where the goal is to rescue people in limited light.
