Helitack Challenge

As seen in Retro Gamer #238!

Helitack Challenge was included in the Homebrew pages of Retro Gamer magazine issue #238! Thanks to Mr. Andrew Fisher for the shoutout and for covering all the great homebrew projects.

Only you can help...

Budgets are tight and staff is short so we're looking for volunteers to help keep our parks safe and beautiful. 

Your job is to patrol the park and rescue lost hikers and contain any forest fires that might get started. If you can keep things under control for 3 shifts, you can become a full-time helitack ranger.

Your helicopter is equipped with all the gear you need to get the job done. Stay focused, stay calm, and do your best.

We also recommend reading the handbook. It might just save a life.
