- message after it has been read)
-
- TO: RED TEAM LEADER
- AT: FORTRESS
- REGARDING: Green Forces Pending
- Aggressive Action.
- FROM: RED TEAM COMMANDER
-
-
- WARNING! We have received advance
- scout reports of verifiable enemy
- activity in your area. We currently
- estimate that anywhere between 5 and
- 15 Battalions of Enemy Troops are
- emplacing operations in the ruins of
- Civilian Buildings opposite the wall
- of Red Team Fortress. We are only able
- to provide you with four boxes of
- Ammunition at this time, as we have to
- conserve our own supply. You are to
- hold the fortress at all costs.
-
- This is a Direct Order. There can
- be no withdrawal under Hostile Fire.
- We expect that the Green Team will
- begin their assault on your current
- location at Daybreak tomorrow morning.
- Expect Enemy incoming by 0800. It will
- probably get pretty hairy down
- there. Good Shooting...and Good Luck!
-
- ---END OF MESSAGE---
-
- We've never published a really
- gungho military game in Ahoy!, so I
- figured it was time to do one. In this
- short and sweet BASIC-ML hybrid
- program, you fight off a communist
- horde who are launching a massive
- assault on your location.
-
- As they appear in the windows of
- the bombed out ruins on the other side
- of the stone wall of your fortress,
- you attempt to shoot them before they
- can get a bead on the wall with their
- LAWs (Light Antitank Weapons). If you
- are too slow, they fire a rocket which
- blows away a portion of the wall. The
- resulting damage is registered on the
- red bar at the bottom of the screen.
- When this bar vanishes, the fortress
- has been overrun.
-
- The game uses a joystick in Port
- 2. The white cross represents your
- aiming point. Center this on a soldier
- as he appears in the window and press
- the button. If you hold the trigger
- down, the gun will fire continuously.
- This is very unwise, however, because
- you only have four boxes of ammo to
- begin with, and when they are used up,
- you're at the mercy of the GREEN
- aggressors.
-
- The game has four different attack
- waves, with complete havoc breaking
- loose on the fourth one. Soldiers will
- be popping up in every window and
- firing everything they've got left to
- try to destroy the fortress. If you
- manage to survive this last attack,
- the RED army will be victorious over
- the GREEN forces. Otherwise, you'll
- end up reading propaganda and growing
- potatoes.
-
- The soldiers are worth 150 points
- apiece, multiplied by the number of
- the wave. Any score over 70,000 is
- good.
-
- It's very difficult to repel the
- GREEN forces. They're mean. They're
- hateful. They cross the street against
- the light. They've got tons of overdue
- library books. Just last week, they
- killed Rambo by inserting bullets into
- his body manually.
-
- Good luck!
