THE GAME
The Bungeling Empire continues the course of war, this time
by creating the ultimate weapon of irresponsibility: a War
Machine programmed to take over the entire planet.
As a highly skilled helicraft pilot, your task is to freeze
The War Machine by halting the production of the six war
factories, which appear as colored L-shaped buildings with
smokestacks. Each factory is supplied by computerized tanks
and boats of the same color.
THE WAR MACHINE:
The War Machine is located on islands spanning an area of
100 screens. The screen wraps around from top to bottom and
side to side.
YOUR HELICRAFT:
You have five helicraft to accomplish your mission. They can
hold an unlimited supply of missiles and nine bombs. When
your damage reaches 100, your copter will die. You can
repair and reload with bombs at any time by landing on your
carrier. You may also discover a supply of bombs on one of
the islands that is yours for the taking if you land nearby.
If your carrier is sunk, then the copter you are flying is
your last one and you cannot repair damage.
YOUR RADAR:
The small square in the bottom left corner is your radar. It
covers an area of 9 screens. Your copter is represented as a
small blue dot in the center. The ocean shows up black, the
islands brown and the enemy units as yellow. Your carrier is
a tall blue dot.
YOUR WEAPONS:
BOMBS can hit everything except airborne planes. MISSILES
can hit everything except factories and the battleship;
these must be bombed. A factory is almost destroyed when
smoke no longer rises from its smokestacks.
ENEMY WEAPONS:
TANKS AND BOATS - These supply the factories and increase
the rate of production. They also fire at you with small
arms causing light damage. The boats are color-coded with
the factories they supply.
ANTI-AIRCRAFT GUNS - These guns can cause heavy damage. On
the higher levels (three or less factories remaining), they
fire heat-seeking missiles.
FIGHTER PLANES & RADAR - The white planes are fighters which
fire air-to-air missiles resulting in heavy damage. If they
find you they will chase and fire at you until you lose or
eliminate them. The radar installations on the ground aid
the fighters in locating you.
BOMBERS - The black planes are bombers which occasionally
attack your carrier. When this happens you will receive a
warning message and will have a limited amount of time to
return to the carrier and shoot them down before they sink
your carrier.
BATTLESHIP - The battleship is built on one of the islands
during the course of the game. You can delay its
construction by bombing it. Once it is built it will put out
to sea and head for your carrier. It will eventually attack
and sink your carrier if you do not sink it first. It is
armed with heat-seeking missiles.
