Radio Helicopter is another Simple 2000 game that was published in Europe by the fine folks at 505 Game Street. Rather than the usual games with bikini girls, you fly around a remote controlled helicopter and complete chores for people to earn money and improve your helicopter. This game is a sequel to RC Helicopter for the PS1, a game that CaneofPacci and CavemanDCJ (Please un-ban me BTW, I'm sorry for criticizing Dragon Age Origins) have run, and it's more challenging and complex. You use the dual analog sticks on the PS2 controller to control your copter, and you press the R1 button to shoot water. There are three areas in the game, the Home, the Shopping District, and the School, and you complete tasks in them in a linear order. There is also a shop, where you can upgrade your copter in 10 levels of four different categories: Speed, Body, Battery, and Gyro, though you can go straight from 1 to 10 if you have enough G.
Let's talk route. Here is the route I came up with: Do the Targets and Roaches like normal. Then do the Lawn Cats enough times to get at least 8600 G. Then go to the Shopping District. Fly backwards to visit the Shop and get the Level 10 Speed upgrade (It's actually called Engine but it makes you go faster). Then complete more of the missions until you have enough G for the Level 10 Gyro. Once you go to the School, you can access the Shop by flying backwards one last time, and buy Level 10 Battery and Body upgrades (Not 10 for Body, you need money for the Green Helicopter and its upgrades). After you exit the Shop each time, you actually go back to where you came from, so each time you go there, go there after going to a different area. After seeing the credits for the second time after completing Black Helicopters, head to the School and buy the green helicopter from the shop, as well as Level 10 Speed and Gyro upgrades for it. Skip the White Helicopter entirely, you don't need it. And Body if you want, you won't need Battery because the time limit for the final mission is three minutes (which the Level 1 Battery grants you). Once you've completed the Obstacle Course in the School's backyard in under three minutes and collected the 20,000 points for it, stop the time.
Movement tech: If you hold the sticks in a certain way, you can fly faster by pointing the helicopter at an angle. Be sure to face the direction you're about to turn. Also, when shopping, this game does have wrap around controls. Press up once to go all the way down to get to the Level 10 upgrade. Also, when buying the Body for the Green Helicopter, it'll just start on whatever level you selected for the Orange Helicopter, as seen in my PB.
I look forward to competition from people who ran the first game (or whoever's interested)!
