- ** WINGS OF THUNDER V1.0 **
-
- The year is 2023, and the worlds top scientists (working together to find ways
- to make living conditions better for the earth's inhabitants) created a
- unique type of artificial lifeform. They were astounded to find that their
- creation has humanlike qualities and is highly intelligent. All of them
- agreed that this new discovery would surely benefit mankind in one way or
- another. They decided to call their creation a "Mandroid". However, to fully
- understand how this being could help the human race, an experiment had to
- be performed. The scientists and top government officials got together and
- worked out a strategy to create 50 Mandroids, place them on a remote part of
- the globe, then return 5 years later to see how they progressed. This top
- secret project was called "The Mandroid Experiment"
-
- The year = 2028. The government brass sends out high altitude surviellence
- aircraft to take pictures of the Mandroid area. The following day, the
- scientists and officials gathered together to inspect the newly developed
- pictures. Anticipation was high and there was chatter all about. Topics of
- discussion were "How did they survive?", "Were they able to live off the
- land?", "Were they able to develop any new kinds of technologies that man
- hasn't thought of yet?". After viewing the first few pictures, everyone in
- the room was quiet, motionless, and had a look of shock on their faces. In
- total disbelief, it was evident that there were not 50 Mandroids but hundreds,
- perhaps thousands. They've discovered how to duplicate themselves!. Even more
- frightening was the fact that they have become alarmingly hostile. They've
- learned how to develop primitive weapons, such as tanks and missile launchers!
- It's obvious that their intentions is to dominate the world. There have also
- been reports that they've been slaughtering innocent women and children in
- their conquest. An emergency is at hand.
-
- At this point in history, the world is at peace. Most of the weapons of
- destruction on the planet have been destroyed. Luckily, stockpiles of bombs
- such as air to ground missiles and rocket launchers have been kept hidden
- away in underground bunkers, but there are no more jets on the planet to
- launch them from! Fortunately, a couple of retired air force generals
- were able to scrape up an old A10 Warthog that was barely flyable, but it
- could still get off the ground. The plane, they say, was affectionately
- nicknamed "Wings of Thunder" back in it's heyday. Luck is on our side!!
-
- It's time to eliminate the Mandroids. Government agents, posing as traitors,
- infiltrated the Mandroid colonies, and in the process installed homing
- devices all around the landscape at strategic locations. To locate these
- devices, dual homing device detectors have been installed on the aircraft.
- Your mission is to tune into the frequencies of these homing devices, pay a
- visit to all these important locations, and destroy everything in your path.
- A base has been setup close to where the Mandroid activities are. Should you
- accept this mission, view the Missions log for the finer details.
- The Mandroid Onslaught Must Be Stopped!!!
