Absolutely one of my favorite Commodore 64 games. Loved the dog fights with the jets.

I played it successfully until the End and i remember the Finishing Scene with the Jeep and the waving Soldier up to this day. Wow! And i only saw i once in a lifetime. That shows, what Computergames meant to me in the 80's! Thanks for the Video! It took me some time to get to know the name of the game and today, by coincidence, i found it.

What I remember being so cool about this is you could fly around in any direction, instead of it just scrolling down from the top.

I don't remember ever using the enemy bases to reload. You learn something every day - even if it 40 years later - longer than 2/3 of my life.

This game directly inspired Sim City. Will Wright had so much fun designing the cities that he decided that the city building would be a good game in and of itself.

I remember the battleship used to terrify me as a kid. XD I was deathly afraid of it getting loose, so I'd try to keep it in check during its construction.

What I didn;t know back then was that the boats and trains were coloured to match the factories they supplied and the boats worked with the radars to spot you for the white planes to come and find you.

Shit, I didn't know you could just land on the runways to reload weapons. I would always go back to the carrier.

@peterzerfass46092 жыл бұрын
@@jase1438 Well, there's only that one airfield where you can land - and you would only get bombs, but it wouldn't repair you. If the carrier got sunk you also would be automatically on your last life, but at least you had a place to get bombs so you could, theoretically, still win the battle.

Me and my brothers loved this game . The C64 had so many games that were great during the 80's. We played for hours.... ROBB and Gunship were my favorites and Silent Service, Infiltrator, Ninja Warrior 2, and Winter Games was my brothers.

Yeah after you complete the game you have to load a satisfying ending, that's not something that happens so often on C64 games.

No, but if you are slow you have to fight it, otherwise it will destroy your carrier. But you can also bomb it before it get completed to slow down the construction.
