About the game:
Blue Max is set in World War I. The player is the pilot of a double-decker and can destroy enemy planes, tanks, and flak. It can also destroy buildings, bridges, or ships. The player can attack with machine gun fire (having unlimited ammo), or with bombs of which you can only carry maximum 30.
The plane can be moved up, down, and sideways. Diagonal moves allow flying forwards and backwards to a limited degree. Bombs are dropped by moving the joystick forwards with fire button pressed.
The game starts with refueling the plane's tank at a military airport. Pressing the fire button starts the plane. Don't leave the runway before reaching 100 mph. After starting successfully, your first mission is to bomb enemy objects along a river. You will be signaled in time when the next airport is near where you can repair your plane, refuel its tank, and replace dropped bombs.

About the run:
I cant believe that I beat this freaking game so fast. My goal was a sub 10m and I did in less then 7m.You need so much luck so win in Blue Max, because every round you have different targets to destroy and
it happens quite often that those targets are out of reach. If you miss to many of them, then the game starts to loop and becomes unwinnable and you have to restart. Especially the ships and the planes are most of the time very hard to hit. I am really proud of this run. Sure you can get faster with better rng, but who knows how many hours you have to grind for this.
Great classic which I finally was able to beat - love it.
