Story

Blazing a trail in Airstrike 42

Air-Strike 42 is a World War II flight game. You must fly your plane through various theatres of war from Germany to the Mediterranean Sea, over North Africa and finally to the Japanese area for confrontations with zeros and storm dragons. You must evade the planes, as well as surface artillery both in the water as well as the land.

Flying over cities, and battleships will cause the targets below to catch on fire and blow up.

You will travel from air strip to airstrip and carrier as you travel through various levels of fighting.

Instructions

You start out in Germany as you travel the various areas of the war. The arrow keys left and right move your plane in that direction. The down arrow will cause you to "hover". The corresponding positions on the joystick will have the same effect.

You are armed with two weapons: bullets and bombs. You have an unlimited supply of bullets, which you shoot by pressing the spacebar.

Bombs are more powerful, and are dropped by pushing the 'B' key, but you only have 100 of them.

You gain points by shooting planes down and blowing up boats and cities. This is done by flying over the target. Look for the landing strips, because all take-offs and landings are all done by flying over strips and aircraft carriers.

Air-Strike 42 is a creation from the guys at Sherwood Forest Software. We are Rob Sherwood: owner, developer, boss, and all around nice guy, and Dan Whalen: art director, creative consultant, and the guy with the longer hair, and the rest of the lunatic fringe we try these things out on, before we send them out to the unsuspecting public.
