Concept: The idea of the whole game is to succesfully destroy each
|
|||
|
|
wave of enemy fighters and bombers.Those planes are: MIG-25's
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
MIG-23's
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
TU-26's
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Your planes are:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
F-15's
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
B-1's
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You are an AWAC plane. A plane which flies around the screen and
|
|||
|
|
pinpoints the locations of enemy planes and relays them to missle
|
|||
|
|
silos on the ground.The keys for movement are...
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I
|
|||
|
|
J K
|
|||
|
|
M
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Planes are indictated on the screen by flying numbers. They range from
|
|||
|
|
1-9. To identify which type of a plane a certain number is that is
|
|||
|
|
flying on the screen, you hit that number on the keyboard. Example...
|
|||
|
|
Say the number 3 was flying around on my screen.I hit the #3, and at
|
|||
|
|
the bottom of the screen the name and blueprints of the plane will
|
|||
|
|
appear.You can then decide whether to destroy it or leave it alone. To
|
|||
|
|
destroy a plane (or number flying on the screen) you must currently
|
|||
|
|
have that plane and its blueprints at the bottom of the screen.
|
|||
|
|
Example..... Since I hit 3 (above), the blueprints of whatever 3 is
|
|||
|
|
(let's a MIG) will appear at the bottom of the screen. I can then hit
|
|||
|
|
the RETURN key and a missle will launch from the nearest U.S. missle
|
|||
|
|
silo (indicated by the squares on the screen.) If I hit a number on my
|
|||
|
|
keyboard, and that number is not currently visible on my screen, no
|
|||
|
|
blueprints will appear and it will give the message NOT IDENTIFIED. A
|
|||
|
|
word of advice. A number will not neccesarily be the same plane
|
|||
|
|
throughout the entire game. Example... The #3 could fly on my screen,
|
|||
|
|
and I could identify it as a MIG. Before I have time to blast it,
|
|||
|
|
however, it flies off. 10 seconds later the same number (3) could fly
|
|||
|
|
on again, but it might just be a U.S. plane. It's a good idea to check
|
|||
|
|
before you blast.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Fuel: The fuel indicator will get lower and lower as the game goes on.
|
|||
|
|
If you run out of fuel before you wipe out the enemy, the game is
|
|||
|
|
over.You do have 1 chance per wave of replenishing your fuel supply.
|
|||
|
|
If your fuel supply is running low, you can hit the T key. A funny
|
|||
|
|
little beep will sound, but other than that, that's all that happens.
|
|||
|
|
What has really happened is that one of your bases has dispatched a
|
|||
|
|
fuel plane, which is a KC 707. Don't blow this up if you see it! You
|
|||
|
|
only have one!! Once you hit "T", the KC 707 will automatically fly
|
|||
|
|
up to you (it will also be using a number) dock with you,and return
|
|||
|
|
home. You can only do this once per wave, so use it wisely. Another
|
|||
|
|
feature is the PANIC button. On the right side of the screen is the
|
|||
|
|
word PANIC written vertically.Along with the word will be either 1 or
|
|||
|
|
more warheads. If things ever get too crowded, and too many enemy
|
|||
|
|
planes are flying towards you, you can hit the "/" key.This will alert
|
|||
|
|
all bases currently on the screen to help out, and they will destroy
|
|||
|
|
every enemy plane on the screen. Each time you hit the "/" key, one
|
|||
|
|
warhead disappears from the side of the screen. Again,you only get one
|
|||
|
|
per turn. But..unlike the fuel plane,if you don't use the panic
|
|||
|
|
button, you get to keep the warhead you didn't use, and get an extra
|
|||
|
|
warhead for completing the wave. Also...don't hit the "B" key. I don't
|
|||
|
|
know what the hell this is, but whenever I hit it, it drops me into
|
|||
|
|
the monitor. After a wave is completed, you recieve bonus points for
|
|||
|
|
however many bases are still up (the enemy planes like to drop bombs
|
|||
|
|
on your bases, that's why your destroying them). After all the bonus
|
|||
|
|
points have been tallied, your fuel tank will be filled, you will
|
|||
|
|
recieve and extra PANIC warhead, and a flashing READY will appear on
|
|||
|
|
the screen. Hit return, and the game will proceed with the next wave
|
|||
|
|
of enemy planes.
