Choplifter (stylized as Choplifter!) is a 1982 Apple II game developed by Dan Gorlin and published by Brøderbund. It was ported to other home computers and, in 1985, Sega released a coin-operated arcade game remake, which in turn received several home ports of its own. While many arcade games have been ported to home computers and consumer consoles, Choplifter was one of the few games to take the reverse route: first appearing on a home system and being ported to the arcade.

I first played this one in the arcades and loved it.
When did you guys record these? Ian is a dead giveaway these are old. The hair on his head is not the same as on the podcast. Pat as well, not very Ludwig at this point in time.
I had this on tape for the Commodore 64, which played alright but looked rather dull graphics-wise, white sprites on black background, they hadn't really learnt how to utilize that machine's full potential in 1982. Later a friend of mine got a Sega Master System and this game, which really seems to be one of the best versions of it.
This game ate SO many of my quarters! Man, I loved this game!!!!
its need a remake
I didn't even know about that, neat!
Are the hostages at a disco? Dig those pants!
My favorite game on the 8bit computers. Next to moon Patrol xD
Wash, rinse, and repeat. Thanks Joe.
Sounded like "shoplifter" when the first guy said the title… haha couldn't help myself… :p
Choplifter is currently in my Master System.
Good times…..

First game to ever grace the screen of my Apple IIc back in the day, this one and Karateka were pretty much mainstays in my household in the early 80's 🙂
can someone give me pointers on pat's joke in the end?
I had this game on sega as a kid, but I never finished it. It's actually very hard and stressful; at least it was to me as a kid.
oh yeah, 8 Mile Ian
I still have this for Sega Master System II. Great game, very addictive.

WHEN ARE THE VIDEO GAME YEARS – THE '90S COMING? THE WAIT IS KILLING ME!
Yep.. I had this game on my Sega Master System. a.k.a. my Sega.
Choplifter was badass for my AppleIIc
I've played a lot of Chop III on Snes
GAME SACK!
Get to the CHOPPA, NOW!
played it at my friends house on his apple II and then on my sega master system in 1988
This was the first game I ever beat, but it was on the Sega Master System
I had this on my Apple II IE, and it was an awesome game for the green screen lol.
I played this on Atari 7800. Not always fair on there but was good for its time on that system.
Never played this one myself, but it reminds me a LOT of Cobra Command on NES. It almost feels like a sequel or spiritual successor.
Holy shit that super neo mega turbo tshirt the neckbeard is wearing is so badass! Just bought it on amazon all colored in. Ima make it look good too!! 😀
