You are a helicopter pilot that is sent behind enemy lines to rescue prisoners of war from being held captive and returning them to your main base so those poor captured soldiers can return home safely to their loved ones. To do this, you must fly around each stage and destroy the enemy camps by shooting them to free the prisoners and picking them up. Once you pick them up, return them to your base where you started the game. Now that you understand the concept of the game, it's time to start explaining how to play it. For each stage, you are only given a set amount of fuel. You can refuel your helicopter by returning some prisoners to your base. Start to fly around to find the enemy camps and shoot them with your gun, not the bombs. Break them open and let the prisoners escape. You have to slowly fly down to the ground and let them hop into the helicopter. Fly slowly when you approach the ground or you will slam into the ground. Also don't land on the prisoners or you will crush them and kill them. To change angles, hold the A button. If you tap it, you will only turn half way which changes weapons. If the front end of your helicopter is facing you, it will only drop bombs. These bombs are only used to kill vehicles on the ground that are approaching you, not moving side to side. If your helicopter is facing to either side, you will shoot the gun. As you fly, you will angle the helicopter which allows you to shoot targets on the ground. The gun kills most enemies. Most of the enemies trying to bring you down are surface to air missiles being shot from the ground, jeeps and jets. They will always be moving around no matter where you are on the stage, moving or not. When you land in some stages, tanks will approach you and try to shoot at you while you are on the ground. They can't shoot very high so you can escape easily. These are the only enemies that bombs will kill. _______________________________________________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 3. - Stage Layouts _______________________________________________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ *Please Note - In the enemies section of each stage, in between their name and description is the weapon that you should use to kill them. *Please Note - In the Map section of each stage, I won't list the moving vehicles since they appear at random intervals. ____________________ Stage 1 ____________________ Number of Prisoners to Save - 20 Number of Prisoners Available - 32 Camps - 4 Enemies: Jeep - Guns - These will drive along the ground and shoot you.
