The detailed mission briefing :-)
|
One of the many beauty shots in the game. An SR-71 taking off.
|
The SR-71 flying at high altitude (another beauty shot with palette animation)
|
The SR-71 reaches the Lybian coast. The mission begins.
|
In-game shot. The first part of the mission consists of dodging surface-to-air missiles.
|
Part II of the mission : protect your aircraft carrier from Lybian bombers by moving the crosshair over the them and pressing the trigger!
|
The last beauty shot, a pair of F-111 attack bombers taking off. Actually, they look more like corsairs or crusaders, I guess when you're 15 it's all the same.
|
The final part of the mission was much more chaotic. In addition to incoming missiles from the ground, you also had to deal with a Lybian mig tailing you.
|
With superior agility and a bit of luck you could eventually...
|
...get behind the mig and shoot it down!
|
As with most games I made during that time, the sprites are part of a large picture, and are "GETted"
|
And to save memory on the floppy disk, they were usually part of a game's background. The sprites would be painted over after being "GETted"
