-
- They're ugly. They're stupid. They're weak. They're so unfriendly that
- they can't even get along with each other. Unfortunately, there are a lot of
- them, and they're all out to get you!
-
- You managed to get stuck in an anti-aircraft bunker in a strategic area,
- without any troop reinforcements. You know that the enemy is going to be
- coming in droves, so you're glad that you have a huge supply of ammo to
- defend yourself.
-
- SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
- 286 required, 386 STRONGLY recommended.
- VGA graphics card.
- 640k, with 535k free from the DOS prompt.
- AdLib, Sound Source, and SoundBlaster optional.
- EMS optional.
- Mouse optional.
-
- THE GAME:
- Your bunker is at the bottom of the screen. You control the position of
- the gun with either the keyboard (using the left & right arrow keys to move,
- and the spacebar to shoot) or the mouse.
-
- The enemy aircraft will be coming across the top of the screen, dropping
- paratroopers as they go. You need to prevent the paratroopers from landing,
- because if three of them land, they'll be able to invade your bunker and
- overpower you! (Fortunately for you, they bicker amongst themselves so much
- that if they land right next to each other, one of them will kill the other.)
-
- You can shoot the planes. You can shoot the paratroopers. You can shoot
- the paratroopers' chutes off, and watch them plummet helplessly to the
- ground (killing any paratroopers that happen to be underneath). Basically,
- if it moves, shoot it...
-
- Be extremely careful with the smart bombs - they're deadly!
-
- SCORING:
- Paratroopers are worth 2 points.
- Big planes are worth 5 points.
- Little planes are worth 10 points.
- Smart bombs are worth 10 points.
-
- Every time you shoot, you lose a point, so be sure to aim carefully.
-
- INTERMISSIONS:
- After you've beaten back enough of the enemy troops, there'll be a chance
- for your compatriots to supply a few things to satisfy basic human needs.
- Enjoy the reprieve while you can!
-
- SETUP:
- While the demo loop is running, simply press the "SPACE" key. This will
- take you into the control panel.
-
- When in the control panel, use the up and down arrow keys to move between
- the selections, and the "SPACE" or "ENTER" keys to make a selection.
-
- The first selection is the device to use for sound effects. You can
- choose to turn off the sound, use the PC speaker, or, if you have one, use a
- Sound Source or SoundBlaster.
-
- If you're using the Sound Source or SoundBlaster, you can choose how
- many digital sound effects can happen at once (one, four, or eight). More
- sound effects sound better, but will make the game run slower. If your
- machine is slower than a 16MHz 386SX, choose "one." If your machine is faster
- than a 16MHz 386SX, I'd recommend "eight."
-
- If you have an AdLib, SoundBlaster, or compatible, you can turn music
- on or off with the next selection.
-
- The next two items depend on whether or not you're currently in a game.
- When you first go into the control panel, the choices are:
- o Start game
- o Back to demo
-
- Once you've started a game, they change to:
- o Stop game
- o Back to game
-
- No matter what, there will be another item labeled "Quit to DOS," which
- allows you to do just that.
-
- CONCLUSION:
- What are you waiting for? Go to it!
