- Possibly the first Base Attack game, this was fun to discover. It's surprisingly playable, even though the graphics is a bit hard to read.
- OK, I guess the black planes are bombers that destroy your carrier, and everything else shoots at your chopper.
- I watched Will Wright's GDC talk about this game, so I know that I'm supposed to bomb the factories to halt the production of enemy vehicles or something.
- The map seems to loop around in both x and y.
- The carrier seems to refill bombs and repair my chopper.
- Oh wow, I can actually land on a specific spot on the big airfield island with two factories, and it refills my bombs!
- When I get shot down, I can kamikaze and destroy something with my wreck.
- My understanding of the bottom line:
RADAR DAM-xxx BMB-x SC-xxxxx FR-6 LR-4 | | | | | | carrier chopper damage bombs score factories lives direction 0-100 0-9 remaining remaining
- Completed the game and got the score: 44150. I did it! After playing for 1.5 hours, I beat this classic game. It's pulse-poundingly difficult, very cool game.
