Bandits At 3 O' Clock

Bandits At 3 O' Clock is a new game for one or two players in which you control a bi-plane. You will need joysticks, as this is the only form of input allowed by this program, but controlling a plane is much easier this way than using the standard keyboard.

The display consists of a church and graveyard at the bottom centre of the screen, and two runways at the extreme edges of the screen. The idea of the game is to try to destroy your enemy using a machine gun mounted in your plane.

The game has many options including choice of day or night and additional problems in the form of clouds, flak and airships. This is a simple but entertaining game which makes a change from the pressures of the normal arcade games.
