Similar to Scramble, although with enough unique features to be an original game.

Your task is to take off, fly to an island, fly across the island through a barrage of flak and enemy plane attacks, bomb the base and return and land safely.

The top three-quarters of the screen shows your plane and the terrain which scrolls smoothly from right to left.

Beneath this is a graphic display showing your speed, fuel, bombs and missiles.

Five levels of play are offered. Level 1 is the easiest, and even that takes a bit of practice. On higher levels your speed/fuel ratios begin to cause added headaches!

A very professional program throughout. Nice insert, clear, concise instructions, good screen presentation, first class graphics, colour and sound and a hall of fame for the highest scores.

The control keys are cursor keys 5, 6, 7 and 8 for slower, up/down, faster, with key 9 to bomb and 0 to fire missile - space key is the emergency eject.

A slightly cramped arrangement, but I soon became familiar with it, especiallly the eject key!
