-
- Your mission is to destroy many ennemy bases on the path of your
- bomber, a B-29. The first B-29s were created back in 1943 and have been
- used a lot by the american army. The B-29 is equipped with one 20mm cannon,
- a double .50mm machine gun and 22,000 lbs of bombs. It has been modified
- a little for this game!
-
- Many obstacles are on your path such as tanks, helicopters,
- warships and many more! Will you be able to keep up?
-
- Bomber is a game which has many features that makes it a superior
- quality game, such as:
-
- ■ Stunning 256 color VGA graphics
- ■ Musical theme and digitized sound effets on a Sound Blaster or compatible
- ■ Many unique levels
-
- I hope that you'll enjoy bomber. Many hors of work have been put in
- this game, therefore I ask you to consider registering Bomber if you like it.

- machines, sorry. The game supports the Sound Blaster for the playback
- of music and digitized sound effects.

- │ III │ THE GAME │
- └─────┴─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
-
- Bomber is very easy to start from DOS, you only have to type
- BOMBER.EXE and it will automatically detect the type of sound card installed
- in your system. The keys used in the game are the following:
-
- Direction of your bomber: Cursor keys
- Fire bullets : CTRL
- Fire bombs : ALT
- Quit the game : ESC
- Pause : Space bar
-
- That's it! Now, try to destroy the 3 bases of the game! You'll start
- in a forest and the ennemy base will be at the end at about 200Km (120
- miles). After that, other scenarios will be presented to you, it's up to you
- to discover them! Note that the red cross is your aim and it's at its
- position on the ground that your bombs will blow up.
-
- You can eliminate gound ennemies with your bombs and helicopters with
- your machine guns. There's no ammo limit, this game has been created for you
- to let go your frustrations and not to frustrate you more!!! Let go your
- destructive instinct and enjoy! You'll start with three livesl you gain one
- more for every 10,000 points scored.

- │ IV │ QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS │
- └─────┴─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
-
- Q: BOMBER hang, why is it for?
- R: Maybe you have one exotic configuration, or are using bomber under a
- special memory manager. BOMBER works well with EMM386, but seems to
- hate QEMM. If problems persist after removing the memory manager, use a
- boot disk. If problems persist, try the '-nosound' option and send me
- some mail!
-
- Q: Can I have the source code for this game?
- R: No!
-
- Q: What do I do if I like BOMBER?
- R: Simple: you register it!
