Aim of the game

It is 1942, and war is raging in the Pacific. The enemy's fleet and airforce are growing in strength. It is up to you to restrict their numbers in a daring solo mission. Your carrier will take you as far as it dares, but from then on you are on your own! Fly your plane over enemy territory and installations, scattered islands and rough terrain. Smart manoeuvering and skilful aerobatics are required to outwit the enemy planes; recovering the mystery power capsules (labelled POW) will give your plane extra capabilities. Be prepared - enemy gunners have their sights set on you, and their pilots are prepared to die to thwart your mission. The carrier awaits your safe return - but have you the skill to survive?

Comments

"A reasonable conversion of a game that wasn't very good to start with."

A poor shoot-em-up, even by standards of the time.
