Mission Statement
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
I was looking through a bunch of my older games and was wondering to myself
why I didn't write any FAQs for these classics. 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.

| 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 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.
