-
-
- Flying Tigers is designed to be a fast pace shoot-em game with
- multiple weapons, power ups, enemies and bosses. The object is simple:
- survive and see how far you can get, while racking up a few points in
- the process. But, seriously your objective is to destroy the bosses who
- are attempting to take over the world, this won't be easy each boss has
- it own way of attack!
- In scenario 1(sharware version) you will be thrown into the middle
- of 1942, the techno bosses are starting transfering technology to the
- Japanese Empire. It is your job to stop these bosses at all cost!
- In scenario 2 and 3(registered version) you will be in 1972 and 2012
- fighting the techno bosses. Beware, these bosses are not like the first,
- they are much smarter and tougher.

- Hints for faster game play (if needed)
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
- Flying Tigers was designed to run as fast as possible on the PC's.
- However, the speed of the game is ultimately decided by what type of
- video card and how fast memory is copied to the card. The methods used
- might also cause some type of snow effect on some cards.
-
- Try playing a harder skill level, planes and your ship move faster
- the harder the skill level.
-
- Using a joystick or game pad also slows things down a bit, try using
- keyboard if extra speed is needed.
-
- Sounds take up a good deal of time to process, it would be a good
- idea to select a low sound quality while in the setup program.
-

- Known bugs
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Keyboard Problems
- You may notice under different keyboard configurations some keys
- might have a tendancy to stick or not respond correctly, this is due to
- the way interrupts are handled under protected mode. To correct this select
- different keys definitions for the keys that do no respond correctly.
-
- Novell DOS 7:
- The DOS Extender of Flying Tigers has problems with EMM386 that is
- delivered with Novell DOS. Please REM out EMM386 from your config.sys
- file or make a bootdisk. See your DOS manual for instructions on how
- to make a boot disk. If you have a compression program such as
- DoubleSpace or Stacker you will want to see their manual on how to
- create a boot disk.
- If Flying Tigers does not run under Novell DOS 7 you may have to
- remove the SETVER.EXE command in the config.sys.
