Red Baron
I must agree with Chris Kent. The fact is, that you can almost always
recover from a plane behind you if you make a sharp turn in time.
In fact, you can continue playing with bullet holes in your windshield.
Also of note: Try the following-- Wait over a mountain for 3 planes to
come at you firing. Then fire at one and while it is exploding, dive and
crash in to the mountain. About 50% of the time or more, the 6809 processor
will completely "crash" and reset everything. In fact about 1 in 100 times
it will go so wacky that it will even trash out the EAROM where the top
three scores are kept and you can take the high score.
I would say that Red Baron is one of the best video games around mainly
because of the excellent graphics and 3-D perspective.
Also, if anyone is in the market to buy one, I can relay the information
to a prospective seller. It's in real good shape, but how many times can
you play one game?
