Exploring my mind

A friend showed me a strategy game. First thing I noticed in the menu was a grid in which the missions were listed. He chose a mission and was asked to take a credit. He chose some sum of money. I asked him about this and he replied: "I wouldn`t survive the level without the money."
At the display I saw a single man hanging on a rope which was tied to a helicopter. The view was centred around him and it could be rotated. Now you had to place other objects around him while flying through a hostile city.
