Rescue is a twin-stick shooter designed by Chris Oberth and released by Stern as an arcade video game in 1982. The player flies a helicopter over the open sea to rescue stranded paratroopers from enemy forces and sharks. As the player-controlled helicopter flies left and right, the cloud layers move at different rates, giving a parallax scrolling effect.
