- BATTLE VALLEY
-
- TYPED IN by PHANTOM LORD (MEDWAY BOYS). EDITED BY PARASITE.
-
-
- SCENARIO
- The peace summit was succesful. An army treaty has been signed. All medium
- range missiles have been destroyed... except for two which have been
- captured by a group of Terrorists who plan to destroy the Western World
- unless their fellow terrorists are released from a penitentiary in the
- United States.
-
- Your task, as a mercenary employed by the United States Government, is to
- capture the terrorists bases in their desert outpost - Battle Valley - and
- eliminate the two missiles.
-
- AIM OF THE GAME.
- The player starts off at his central H.Q. and his aim is to progress there
- to capture all terrorist bases, three located in either direction. Then the
- two missiles have to be destroyed in their silos, found before the
- countdown reaches zero, otherwise the missiles will be launched and the
- world destroyed.
-
- In between the bases lie many different weapons, which steadily increase in
- speed and complexity as more ground is covered. Most of the weapons can be
- eliminated by using the helicopter. The remainder must be destroyed using
- the tank. Note that the terrorist bases and the missile silos themselves
- can only be destroyed by the tank.
-
- The helicopter has a winch which is used to collect pontoons for memding
- broken bridges or to collect extra ammunition from rooftops. The tank
- collects ammunition when it is halted on the grid at an ammo dump.
