I think this game was eerily timed, a year after the Falklands War (where I live) notice how you start and end the mission on a carrier, the enemy planes look like mirage's etc etc...btw the Harrier is a cracking little plane...silly of the UK to be taking them out of service.
The city at the end, my friend, is the most profitable part of the game, and a civilian, urban dwelling.
I always saved my ALL bombs for that. Though I did use my rockets prior to that. The warship right at the begining, for instance, you could fly straight through and obliterate with your rockets.
Yeah, loads of points for the city and you can't really miss. I like to think of the buildings as housing human shields, that way the guilt factor goes completely out the window rather like the glass!
Human shields! Lol. Like it. I never thought of it that way when I was a boy(this was pre-Gulf War of course). I just thought of Reagan bombing Grenada and Lybia... only, since the game used Harriers, this was Brits getting in on the act.
The good old days when you knew who the enemy was(?). Nowadays...Ronald Reagan was a great actor. Harriers are better suited to a speccy game rather than the Flaklands!!!
wow I played this when I was four years old back in the 80's.

Those bombs were a few strays apart from the rest of them which were friendly fire.

I'm the Jack-of-all games and Master of some! The game is quite short. Would have been better if there was more to it.

It's quite an easy game to complete if you try and avoid the planes. Though saying that this was on the easy level.

Easy for you the Master of all Speccy games. I liked the way the flak hits the sky around the plane.
