You control the helicopter who has to save the refugees form an earthquake, they stand on top of a building one at a time, just move your helicopter above them and a rope will be lowered automatically and pick up the refugee. Bring him to safety to the building to the right, only then can you rescue the next one. If you wait too long a building will collapse or burn down killing the refugee on top. After you lose two refugees the game is over. The game was probably too easy at first and the designers decided too include an extra 'gameplay element': when you fly your helicopter too far to the left or the right it will crash into a building and the game will end immediately! This is extremely frustrating and adds nothing to the fun in the game! Not an enjoyable game at all.
