Your mission as Commander of the special service troops is to fly “Supercoptor” to an enemy island where a nuclear warhead has been activated. The warhead is set to exterminate your country in a matter of minutes and unless you can land on the enemy island in time to defuse the bomb your country will be exterminated.

SCREEN 1: Internal view of cockpit.
ALT= Altitude
DIS= Distance from enemy island
ASI= Air Speed Indicator
RPM= Revs Per Minute
AFI= Air Fuel Indicator
PI= Pitch Indicator
BI= Banking Indicator
RF= Rockets available
DV= Deviation from original course

SCREEN 2: Radar map of flight path.
The enemy island is surrounded by a Forcefield (broken red square). You have to be below 200ft. to enter it. Mountains should be avoided if you are below 3,000ft., or you will crash into them. A Laser Screen (white line) stretches between the mountains and you can only pass by it at under 1,500 feet. Beware of the Radar Balloons (black crosses) as you may crash into them. You have 3 rockets on board with which to shoot them down. Beware of the Air Missiles (red diamonds). They can’t be seen from the cockpit, and if you fly over them they lock on and blow you to shit.
You can view your coptor as spinning yellow rotor blades moving along the flight path.
“Supercoptor” can’t be controlled while in RADAR map mode.

SCREEN 3: Enemy Island.
Upon successfully reaching the enemy island your view will change to a view of the enemy city. Your objective now is to land exactly on the Helicopter Pad (H.P). Wind turbulence, anti-coptor guns and gravity all hazard your landing.
If you touch any of the buildings other than H.P you will crash.
Your controls at stage 3 are only UP, RIGHT and LEFT.
