Aim of the game
As ace helicopter pilot Stringfellow Hawke, you have been
chosen to fly the top-secret AIRWOLF helicopter. To test your prowess,
the CIA has assigned you to a dangerous rescue mission: five important
US scientists are being held hostage in an underground base deep
underneath the Arizona desert. It's your task to guide AIRWOLF through
the caverns to destroy the base's defence control boxes so that you
can penetrate to the heart of the complex and rescue the scientists...
Game play
AIRWOLF bears some slight similarities to the old arcade
classic DEFENDER, with a nod in the direction of GALAXIANS as well.
You must shoot your way through the defence fields and electric fields
protecting the caverns within the base, and avoid the incoming fire
from the large and strategically-positioned guns. As well as this, you
must also prevent the AIRWOLF from crashing into the base's walls and
the various obstacles around it, which is not an easy task!
Comments
"Addictive, playable and fun, excellent."

As they said at the time, it is a love or hate game. It is
hard, so be warned!
