Description
AIM : As ace helicopter pilot Stringfellow Hawke, you have been chosen to fly the top-secret AIRWOLF helicopter. To test your prowess, the CIA has assigned you to a dangerous rescue mission: five important US scientists are being held hostage in an underground base deep underneath the Arizona desert. It's your task to guide AIRWOLF through the caverns to destroy the base's defence control boxes so that you can penetrate to the heart of the complex and rescue the scientists...

GAMEPLAY : AIRWOLF bears some slight similarities to the old arcade classic DEFENDER, with a nod in the direction of GALAXIANS as well. You must shoot your way through the defence fields and electric fields protecting the caverns within the base, and avoid the incoming fire from the large and strategically-positioned guns. As well as this, you must also prevent the AIRWOLF from crashing into the base's walls and the various obstacles around it, which is not an easy task!

The course is there, waiting, all set to devour you at the slightest mistake. Eight fierce sections, each with it's own challenges. Skilful driving and thoughtful use of extra equipment is the key to the game. You will choose Dunlop tyres of course, but which ones? SP82 Rally Tyre for dusty conditions? Perhaps Dunlop formula for all round rally performance? The choice is yours and it could cost you your life. At the least it will cost you money. Life would be simple if finances were bottomless but alas no. You only have two thousand pounds to spend on your vehicle. Not only that but you are responsible for collecting the equipment yourself. So as you may gather, the task ahead is to say the least, a bit tough!

GAMEPLAY

The game is divided into two sections. The first, The Buying Section, is where the player can pay for the extra equipment he or she may need in the chase. The second, The Chase, is where the player takes the vehicle to its limits on screen, picking up the extra equipment ordered and evading the enemy.

"READY WHEN YOU ARE, MR. SEAVERS ..." ... an exclusive location report from the set of the new computer game production of 20th Century Fox Television's THE FALL GUY.

The Train Stunt ...

"Okay, sweeties, now I want absolute quite on the set. Where's that Seavers stunt guy? Ah, there he is. Colt baby, this is a piece of cake. All you've got to do is jump onto the train from the top of the brick tunnel, then run along the carriage roofs as the train goes by. What did I tell you, big guy, it's easy peasy. Okay, this is it. Take One, and ... Action! That's it, Colt, onto the first carriage, the train's moving. Move baby, there's the tunnel coming up and ... oh ... oh! Pick him up boys, we'll go again. Take Two and ... Action! Okay Colt, you're moving well this time. Jump the carriages, leap the gaps, don't fall between them ... er ... oops. Colt, babe, you know I love you, but you must know by now that you've got to get it right first time. There's still the runaway trucks and the nasty tank things to deal with, to name but a few. Let's get on with it."

Colt's Brief From The Director (PLAYING Instructions)

"Colt, honey, I know you're nervous, but we've got a limited amount of capital to make this epic, and every second that's wasted costs us cash, as well as precious studio time. So what I want you to do is get me some good FOOTAGE in the shortest time possible. You must remember, doing something like this on that "Bionic Guy" show you worked on, yes? When we've completed all the stunts, our darling producer will give us some lovely lolly so that we can film more of your daring capers, won't that be nice? Don't forget my promise, if you can help us raise the capital to $64,000, then I'll let you go on a nice little holiday. How's the Caribbean sound?"

The Grand National course is regarded as the toughest race course in the world. Those who ride it risk injury or death jumping fences such as the chair, a notorious fence nearly four feet wide and rive feet high, fronted by a six foot ditch. It isn't surprising that this fence has been responsible for many injuries over the years. It is your job as the jockey not only to conquer the course through knowing your horse, but also to make the choice of horse that you will ride in the race. The whole game can be won or lost on this decision alone. The game combines these factors to produce a combination of strategy and skill, with all the excitement of the Grand National on your screen. Running a number of nationals can build up a career record, and a final award is given to the top riders. Now take the reins on your 48K ZX Spectrum and gallop your way into the record books!

THE GRAND NATIONAL

The Grand National is the ultimate race of the National Hunt season. It is run, and always has been run, at the Aintree Race course near Liverpool. The full Aintree course involves sixteen fences, and all but the last two of these are covered for a second time round, making a total of thirty fences to be jumped. The National has a maximum entry list of forty horses but some horses pull out before race day due to injury or ill-health of either the horse or the key. The riders range from amateurs fulfilling a life-long dream, to the professional jockeys who ride with one intention, to win! The National lasts about ten minutes, but in our game the clock runs faster to shorten the game time.

Elite's Grand National is a computer game that combines strategy and arcade action to reproduce all the excitement of the World's most famous horse race.

Races have covered Europe by push-bike, car, plane, and even hot-air balloon. Now it is the turn of the truck! Nine European cities have come together to award the Supertrux Trophy, the most prestigious and coveted trucking trophy ever devised. London, Paris, Bruxelles (Brussels), ROMe, Madrid, Vosges, Venice, Pisa, Athens - their names call the roll of the great and ancient cities of the Old World. But as for the roads that connect them ...

Have you got the ability, have you got the raw nerve, have you got the guts to race 30 tons of solid truck across Europe, through hazardous conditions and along tortuous, twisting roads, beating all the other drivers to claim the Supertrux Trophy?

Only the most skillful and daring of drivers will be able to survive the perilous journey from city to city. The road signs will help you, but choose your path carefully; there are many routes to take, and while some may be shortcuts, others will lead to sections of road treacherous in the extreme, with viciously sharp bends, narrow single- lane carriageways and even major roadworks. Precise steering, lightning reactions and a clear head will be needed to get you through in one piece. And beware the other drivers - they will not think twice about ramming you with their 30 tonners in a murderous attempt to send you skidding off the road.

Competition will be fierce and each leg must be completed in record time - so don't hang around. Put your foot flat down and give a blast on your air-horn to let them know you're on the road and you mean business! Play as dirty as they do and maybe, just maybe, you will win the Supertrux Trophy.

Buggy Boy is the ultimate driving challenge. Be prepared for the bumpiest ride of your life, over five of the roughest courses ever devised for four wheels. You must race across terrain littered with boulders, trees, brickwalls and fences whilst following the rough outline of the track through narrow valleys, across even narrower bridges and through dark tunnels.

Use your skill to dodge these obstacles or a jump over them by hitting the logs that lie across the track, sending your buggy soaring through the air. Driving over tree stumps and small rocks will tilt your buggy onto two wheels allowing you to squeeze through narrow gaps; but don´t oversteer, as you will lose control and return to four wheel drive! The course is not your only eneamy. The clock is ticking and you will be disqualified from the race if you do not complete each leg in the allowed time limit. Extra time for the next leg can be collected by driving through the dangerously placed "time" gates. For each "time" gate you drive through, you get two seconds bonus time for the next leg after completion of the actual one.

Additional points are scored by collecting the flags and driving through the score gates. Collecting the flags in the specified order (displayed in the upper right corner of the screen) will give you a larger bonus, as will bumping into the football!

When the going gets tough, put your foot to the floor (finger on the button?) and get ready for more thrills and spills then ever before.
