wow I played this when I was four years old back in the 80's.

This is real ;-) Actual video footage taken during the Falklands War.

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.

Programmed in 100% machine code!

Superb game. I still play it from time to time. Remembers my childhood. Mike Richardson is the master!
Cassic game. Loved the way your mission is to bomb the crap out of a civillian target. Lol.

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

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!!!
