HARRIER ATTACK
PUBLISHER

YEAR
1984?
DESCRIPTION
Harrier attack is a horizontal scrolling shoot'em-up.
CONTROLS
A variety of joysticks can be used and the keyboard control is
redefinable.
Left and right control your speed, up and down control your
height, and you can also fire missiles and drop bombs.
INSTRUCTIONS
You are in an RAF Harrier. The aim of the game is to travel all
the way across the map back to your aircraft carrier, while
destroying as many enemy installations as possible on the way,
using your bombs and missiles, and also staying alive.
The top two-thirds of the screen show your view of the world, and
the bottom third shows you your current information, including
speed and ammunition.
To start the game, you must select the difficulty level, which
determines the height of the mountains, the number of enemies,
and the speed of the game. It does get very fast on the higher
levels!
You start the game parked on your aircraft carrier. Once you
have taken off (by pressing up), you will start to fly to the
right. Should you accidently (or not) bomb your carrier, then
it will not be there when you come round again at the end, so you
will not be able to land.
You must then use your bombs and missiles to destroy as many
enemies as possible. They range from aircraft, battleships, AA
guns and tanks. All of these will be shooting missiles and flak
at you constantly, and the planes may also try to crash into you.
Should you get far enough, you will reach the city. This is very
poorly defended, and you can have a real bombing spree on this,
destroying everything and gaining as many points as possible.
Just make sure you have enough left.
HINTS/CHEATS
Remember not to fly too fast otherwise you will run out of fuel
before you reach your aircraft carrier.
SEQUELS/PREQUELS
There was a sort of sequel (rather a follow-up) by the name of
Combat Lynx.
