Hellfire Attack

YOUR MISSION

The SuperCobra light attack helicopter is ready for take off. Its 20mm three-
barrel rotary cannon is waiting for action. The laser-guided Hellfire launch-
and-leave missiles have been fitted. Ahead of you lies mile after mile of
hostile territory. They know you are coming.
Wave after wave of determined enemy aircraft are hoping to blast you from the
skies and into eternity. You know you must duck and weave to avoid their
guided missiles whilst wreaking destruction with your awesome firepower. Will
you ever make it to the first camouflaged supply dump?

ROTARY CANNON
The cannon fires automatically once the SuperCobra is airborne. It destroys any
enemy aircraft or ground targets in the cross-hair sight. However, its range is
limited and distant targets will be missed.

HELLFIRE MISSILES
You have 40 Hellfire laser guided launch-and-leave missiles per game level or
life. Before you can fire a missile, the laser guiding system must first be
targetted on an enemy aircraft. This is achieved by moving the circular sight
cross-hairs over the chosen target. Once targetted a square cross-hair will
remain on the enemy and the word TARGET will appear on the panel. Press FIRE to
launch a single Hellfire missile at the target. Your laser guided system can be
targetted onto several enemies at any one time.

TURBO POWER

shafts; Press SPACE when airborne for a dramatic increase in your engine power.
This can help you to avoid enemy fire (or even fly upside down!!)
