You are the pilot of the new Northall Q-15c
attack 'copter, and it's your mission to
defend the planet Ursa Minor Delta-V,
against the evil menace of the bloodthirsty
Peradusins, (though why Earth has sent
one little chopper to defeat a whole alien
attack force is beyond me).
Your helicopter is covered in weapons
and techno-gadgets, to help you root out
and kill the alien scum, though actually
seeing one of the enemy is pretty rare. You
have a full collection of AAMs and ASMs, as
well as a rapid-fire cannon.
Your controls are simple, at least they
would be simple if the instructions told you
what they really were, but they think that the
Speccy has function keys - weird!
When you don't see the enemy, (which is
most of the time, since they travel much
quicker than you), nothing moves on screen
except your dials - there are no landmarks
or mountains you can fly past, everything is
white and flat. The game seems very dull
because of this. I think that it tries to be a
simulation with arcade elements, or p'raps
an arcade game with simulation elements,
but it fails to be any good in either category.
Sorry, I can't recommend this game at all.
