So I decided to write a guide for some of my favorites. That is why this guide is here today. I hope it can help you out. ____________ Legal Notice ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ••••• ••••• ••••• This FAQ is copyrighted information of Mike Truitt.

There may ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ be some more updates in the future. _____________ Last Updated: Wednesday, January 21, 2004 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ •============================================================================• | I I I GAME MODES | •============================================================================• ______________________ One Player Cadet Level For this mode, there is only one player that will ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ on the Cadet level of the game. In the Cadet level, the planes and helicopters are much slower, and less populous than those of the Commander level. Other than that, there are no differences between the two levels of the game. ______________________ Two Player Cadet Level Hmmm... Good Luck Figuring this brain buster out. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Like most of the non-sport games for Atari, when player one looses one of his helicopters, then player two's turn sets in. __________________________ One Player Commander Level Compared to the Cadet level, the Commander level is ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ much harder and faster. You will have to master your menueverability and reflexes to get anywhere in this mode of play. __________________________ Two Player Commander Level Another one that is kind of self explanitory. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ •============================================================================• | I V STRATEGY | •============================================================================• In order to get some of the high scores and long lasting games, you will need to learn some of the basic strategies of the game. These will include agility, speed and acuracy. Just make sure that you keep your eyes glued to the screen. _______________ Flight Position Since there are trucks on the ground constantly, make sure ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ that you do not fly as low as possible, because you will loose one of your helicopters as soon as one comes up. Other than that, just make sure that you continually change your position because the enemies will fire at you. Also make sure that you do not run into any of your enemies. ____________ Fire at Will Make sure that you fire your gun constantly, this will ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ensure maximum enemies to be shot down in the least amount of time. Be careful though, because you will often not watch enemy fire when you are in "Attack Mode" and will get shot down quickly. ________________ Watch Your Speed Sometimes when there are no enemies on the screen for a few ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ seconds, you will make yourself go faster than what you are used to going and you won't be able to react. This is why you need to keep your self at a steady, somewhat hasty pace. •============================================================================• | V ENEMY LIST | •============================================================================• _____________________________________________________________________________ | # | Plane Name | Point Value | Speed | Visual Description | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ _____________________________________________________________________________ | 1 | Ol' Bluey | 200 Points | 8/10 | This is a small blue | |¯¯¯|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯| plane that is fairly | |¯¯¯|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯| difficult to hit. | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ _____________________________________________________________________________ | 2 | Casper the Ghost | 100 Points | 5/10 | The white plane that is| |¯¯¯|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯| the most highly popular| |¯¯¯|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯| plane in the game. | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ _____________________________________________________________________________ | 3 | Gone Truckin' | n/a | 1/10 | These are the brown | |¯¯¯|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯| trucks that are sitting| |¯¯¯|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯| on the ground. | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ •============================================================================• | V I I NOTES AND THANKS | •============================================================================• A great deal of gratitude is expressed towards all webmasters on the Internet that spend their priceless time and hard earned money for the sole purpose of allowing people from all different walks of life, come together and discuss and help each other with video games. Without that time and that money, the video game industry would be nowhere near what it is today. Thank You All. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ••••• ••••• ••••• This FAQ is copyrighted information of Mike Truitt.
