Perhaps a little too addictive... The more hardened gamesplayer is likely to find that he polishes the thing off in an afternoon. Read Review
Full Instructions
Operation Wolf
Central control to Lone Wolf... parachute into hostile territory.. locate enemy concentration camp... release captives interned there... repeat. Operation Wolf, an exciting new concept in computer games, in which the enemy shoot at you from the screen.
Gun in hand, you must traverse a hostile concentration camp. Make your way through jungle filled with hostile soldiers, destroy any enemy installations and free all townships you encounter, with no food, no water, no chopper cover, not nearly enough ammo and no idea if you are going to make it back...
Volunteers only!!
Gameplay
Operation Wolf comprises six levels of lethal arcade action, each increasing in difficulty as you progress. You are armed with a sub-machine gun with limited ammunition and a small number of grenades.
Extra ammunition and grenades can be collected by shooting at them when they appear on the screen. Animals, if shot, will sometimes drop these items, however under no circumstances should you shoot any innocent civilians. You must protect the hostages on levels five and six from any harm in order to ensure their safe escape.
Your energy level is shown on the right hand side of the screen, and this will decrease if you are shot by a solitary soldier (substantially if you are shot by a vehicle or accidentally kill a civilian or hostage).
As you complete each level, a small amount of your energy is replenished and when you have just a few units left, the display will flash.
To compelte a level, you must shoot and destroy the relevant number of soldiers, tanks, helicopters, etc as displayed on the bottom of the screen. This will probably be the most dangerous mission you have ever undertaken. Be alert, be strong and, above all, be careful!
Survival Summary
Magazines - Shooting this gives one extra magazine of ammunition.
Grenades - Shooting this gives one extra rocket bomb, up to a maximum of five.
F - On a bullet - Shooting this gives an increased rate of fire for one magazine.
P - On a bottle - Shooting this improves your physical condition.
Enemy missile fire can be shot down before it hits you. Vehicles can be destroyed by bullets, but they must be hit several times.
