Let's start with how the game works. 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.

*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.
