MiG-29 SOVIET FIGHTER Code Masters Strap yourself into the cockpit of the latest Soviet fighter - the MiG-29 Fulcrum - and prepare for the most amazing combat experience of your life. You'll have to be quick to choose from the sophisticated weaponry at your disposal, arm it and then lock on your target and FIRE! Use bombs and ground attack missiles on tanks and other vehicles, heat seeking air-to-air missiles on enemy planes and a nuclear warhead when the going just gets too tough! All the time you're doing this you've got to duck and weave thru the enemy fire and watch out for the anti- aircraft guns - you've gotta be better than good - you've gotta be the BEST! CONTROLS This game is compatible with KEMPSTON interfaces and SINCLAIR ports 1 and 2. You can also play using keys if you go to the DEFINE KEYS option on the start menu. To select any option, just press the appropriate number key. Press 0 to start the game. Press BREAK to pause the game - you can then press 1 to continue or 2 to abort your mission. GAMEPLAY You have several different weapons at your disposal. During the game press the space key to arm the next weapon on the indicator. The number below each weapon shows how many you have left - when it hits zero then you've run out, but you can always pick up more from the supply parachutes. Nuclear warheads can be picked up occasionally from supply parachutes - they have H (for Hydrogen Bomb) on them for identification. When you have a H-Bomb, press FIRE to drop it and it will destroy all visible enemies. HINTS AND TIPS * Helicopters can only be shot down with heat-seeking missiles (the third set of weapons). * Fly into falling supply parachutes to pick them up. * Be sure not to run out of fuel. Watch your fuel gauge and pick up fuel parachutes to be sure. * Watch your distance indicator to see how far thru a level you are. (The gauge with S at the start and F at the finish.) * Duck and weave so that the enemy don't have a chance to lock their sights onto you. * Pick up the B parachutes for bonus points on the BONUS LEVELS. David and Richard Darling first started writing computer games when they were in their early teens and still at school. They duplicated the cassettes themselves and sold them by mail order, taking small advertisements in magazines. From these beginnings David and Richard became contract programmers. They wrote and sourced games for major software houses, and many of these games were major best sellers. In October of 1986 the Darling's set up CodeMasters, their own company. From the beginning they were determined to sell only the best possible games at the lowest possible price. One title, BMX SIMULATOR, went on to become one ot the worlds best selling games. In less than a year, CodeMasters had a string of Top Ten hits to its name. The company was the best selling software house in Britain. David and Richard are now 22 and 21 years old, and are determined to continue what they do best; producing top selling computer games. MiG-29 Soviet Fighter was brought to you by ...
