You are a pilot of the latest jet fighter plane, and
your mission is to protect the island on which you are
based. Enemy bombers are flying towards the island,
what will be their target? The Power Station? The Airbase?
Who knows?
The
game is a simulation, setting you in the hot seat of
a jet fighter. When loaded you have the opportunity
to change the skill levels, from novice to pilot to
ace. From here on you are alone. You can either sit
on the runway all day, or fly off into the sunset performing
intricate acrobatics.
The
screen display is split between a view out of the cockpit
and a view of the instruments. Using a joystick you
control the movement of the jet, and by using the keyboard
the dashboard is operated.
Before
taking off you must reach a velocity of over 200 ft/sec,
pulling back on the joystick then allows you to take
off. Having done that, pull up the undercarriage, and
you're off!
A
map can be accessed, showing the whole of the island
and the locations which must be protected from your
enemies. After battling it out with the incoming bandits,
it's time to refuel and return home, the pride and joy
of the island. Hoorah!
