Air Raid

Anyone nostalgic for the heroic days of World War II can revive the memories with Air Raid, written for the BBC B by J. K. Thorpe of Gainsborough, Lincolnshire.

The player is in charge of the anti-aircraft gun which must defend the city against atttacking bombers, dive bombers and doodlebugs. You press A to raise your gun, Z to lower it and RETURN to fire.

Destroying an enemy bomber earns you ten points, a dive bomber twenty points and a doodlebug thirty points. Damage to the city is shown as a percentage and when it reaches 100 percent, the game is lost. Bonus points are awarded at the end of each round.
