Rig Attack

The North Sea is dotted with Oil Rigs and these are prime targets for terrorists. Your mission is to defend the Rigs against attacks from submarines armed with missiles. At your disposal is a helicopter with depth charges and limited fuel.

You fly over the surface of the water bombing the subs and avoiding the Rigs.

Your fuel swiftly runs dry and frequent stops have to be made to refuel. The game is fun to play with ultra smooth, details, colourful graphics and fast scrolling. The playing area is many times larger than the screen. On the negative side, the scrolling is a bit jerky and the gameplay is samey but still worth a look.
