COMBAT SCHOOL
Ocean 1987
CONTROLS : Keyboard, Cursor, Kempston
---------------------------------------------------------------------
AIM : You are a raw recruit entering the US Marines' famed Combat
School. Can you survive the gruelling tests of endurance and enter the
Marine Corps?
GAMEPLAY : Combat School is rather like a military version of Daley
Thompson's Decathlon! There are seven different tests for you to
undergo:
1. ASSAULT COURSE - walls of different heights and an "arm walk". A
meter at the bottom of the screen shows the muscular power you're
generating.
2. FIRING RANGE - hit at least 38 targets to qualify.
3. "IRON MAN" RACE - run through rough country strewn with boulders,
water hazards and bridges; then swim across a fast-flowing river full
of logs.
4. FIRING RANGE - hit 95 robot tanks to qualify.
5. ARM WRESTLING - a man-to-man contest of bicep supremacy.
6. FIRING RANGE - hit lots of targets and avoid hitting red ones.
7. UNARMED COMBAT - take on your instructor!
Failing any of these events (apart from number 5) means you have to
do a physical penance - which means chin-ups! Once you have completed
all the events, you must attempt a full mission, to rescue a hostage
from an American embassy.
COMMENTS : "A hugely addictive challenge of speed, strength and
coordination that looks and sounds good too."
RATING : 93% (CRASH #48, January 1988)
NOW : Although it's a bit short, this is still a satisfying game.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
KEYS : Redefinable - Joystick controls
