- DESERT APACHE
- Copyright 1995 by John B. Graham
-
-
- Im not going to bore you with alot of text reading, or my whole life
- story, so Ill get right to it!
-
- Im sure you decompressed the file now or you would not be reading this
- (or did someone else decompress it for you) you should have the following
- files in the DesertApache directory:
-
- DA000 - DA053
- DesertApache
- DesertApache.info
- DesertApache.doc
-
- For best game play, I recommend your optimize your harddrive then
- decompress DesertApache. this will speed up loading time of the game.
- Before you optimize your HardDrive, make sure you know what your
- doing, and you have your HD backedup! (I've crashed my system doing
- this once!)
-
- Now on with the SHOW!
-
- <*>OPTION SCREEN<*>
-
- Once the game is loaded, you will be presented with a Option Screen.
-
- - Screen Options -
-
- Full-Screen FMV Action,- 1/4 Screen FVM Action -
- If you are you a 68000 with no accelerator select the 1/4 screen
- as the full-screen option will play to slow! If you are accelerated
- selecte Full-Screen FMV Action to start the game.
-
- - Skill Level -
-
- On the Option screen you are also able to select a Skill Level of game
- play, from 1 to 3. the higher the skill level the harder the game and
- the less AMO, Fuel you will have during play. The default is "1"
-
- When starting the game, you will be briefed on what you need to do to
- complete that mission. press fire when ready.
-
- - Apache Response -
-
- This option allows the Apache to react faster when a enemy is on your
- SIX. there are two modes. FAST and SLOW. FAST is the default, so
- when a Enemy is on your SIX and you make your move, the game will
- continue to the next Video Clip. SLOW mode will let the video finish
- after you make your move..
-
- - About -
-
- Information about Desert Apache and how to Register.
-
- - QUIT -
-
- Exits Desert Apache and returns you back to the WorkBench.
-
-
- <*>MAP SELECTING<*>
-
- Now its time for the action. On your screen you will see 5 areas marked
- on the map, select a area quickly, when your pointer is over the marked
- are, it will turn RED, so press fire! If you take your time selecting
- your area, a enemy chopper will HUNT you down!
-
- <*>ENEMY ON YOUR SIX!<*>
-
- When a enemy is behind you, a WARNING will flash on the screen, Now its
- time to do some flying! As the WARNING appers, you can move in FOUR
- directions, UP, DOWN, LEFT or RIGHT. Tap the joystick in eather direction
- to turn your Apache, the object here is to OUT-FLY the enemy, so try
- not to select the same moves over and over, this will give the enemy
- chopper and much better lock on you! This is a DO or DIE! eather you or
- the enemy will become scrap metal, so stay ALERT and make your move
- quickly!
-
- Once you have out-flyed the enemy, your Apache will fly in behind him
- quickly move the pointer and go for a LOCK! when you hear the LOCK tones
- press FIRE! note: the enemy knows when you have a lock, so be quick!
-
- <*>GROUND ATTACKS<*>
-
- Remember them POWs! here they are, and there waiting on you to save them!
- quicky move the pointer on the flashing object, when you hear the TONES
- press fire! If you take to long, they will fire back causing MAJOR damage
- to your Apache. so take AIM and FIRE! If you miss, you might end up
- killing a POW, so watch your AIM!
-
- <*>DEATH AND GLORY<*>
-
- Remeber, you only have so much AMO, FUEL, and your Apache can take only
- so much DAMAGE! On your game screen you will see 3 Icons on the TOP
- RIGHT and two on the LOWER LEFT. The very TOP Icon on the right
- of your screen is your DAMAGE to the Apache, the Icon below that is
- you AMO, and under that icon is your FUEL. Keep a eye on these! and
- dont waste your Shots! If your DAMAGE hits 0 your DEAD! same goes
- for FUEL, as for your AMO, yep! you wount die as soon, but your
- luck will run out sometime! The ONLY way to reload your AMOS, FUEL, DAMAGE
- is to complete the MISSION, Note: the higher the SKILL LEVEL the less
- AMO, FUEL you have and less TIME to move!
-
- <*>MISSIONS<*>
-
- You MUST complete a MISSION to move on to the next, Each Mission has a NEW
- set of obstacles so GOODLUCK!

-
- Special Thanks go to Seumas McNally for the extra programming and effort
- he help put into this game! mainly the 2x2Zoom code! Seumas, I could
- have not done it without you! THANKS! The 2x2zoom code is what allows
- us to Display Full-Screen Video Action. This eliminates the HUGE video
- files, plus the game will operate on ALOT LESS MEMORY!
-
- I would like to also thank "Video 3 Footage Library" for the uses and
- permission of the IN-AIR Apache Video, Also Cola Video Archives for
- the fantastic In-Flight footage, and CHAS, AFB for the Apache Documentary
- video.
