Aerial Kombat II







Hello and welcome the the sequel to Aerial Combat ST, Aerial Kombat II

- The War Goes On.





Aerial Kombat 2 is a  two  player   game   which  is controlled by two

joysticks. The aim is kill your opponent.

Drop nose               Right           Left

Fire weapon             Fire            Fire



Scoring



Shooting opponent           -   150 points

Forcing opponent to crash   -   100 points

Colliding in mid air        -    10 points

Shooting or colliding with

horizontally moving object  -    50 points

Shooting or colliding with

Vertically moving object    -     1 extra life

Lives left at end of game   -   150 points per life



As soon as the game is  fully  loaded,  and you have pressed the space

bar in response to the prompt, you will be asked to enter both players

names. These are changed at the  end  of  each game, but the number of

games won by each player aren't reset, leaving it suitable for playing

in teams.



Levels



Aerial Kombat II features 3 scenarios.  To select  a  level,  move the

joystick so that  the  green  flashing  border surrounds your selected

level and then  press  fire.  To  select  an  ACST   level,  move  the

border to the "Load Aerial Combat ST  level" , or the "Data Disk" icon

and press fire.  This  will bring up a sub-menu which gives you access

to the three old levels.



The three 'new' levels all have themes, including The Fuzzles and STAR

TREK - The Next Generation



Data Disk



Moving the border round this option  allows  you to access data disks.

You will be asked to enter a  disk,  and  press a key. There will be a

short period of disk access, whilst  the new scenarios are loaded. You

can now select the scenario in the same way as above.



Aerial Combat ST - NOTE



Levels from AKII are mainly  compatible  with  ACST. The only problems

experienced may be on  the  STAR  TREK  level,  where the sprites will

crash into 'invisible objects'.



Passwords



On the level selection screen, there  is  a box marked "Passwords". If

you move over this and press fire,  you are asked to enter a password.

At present there are two passwords, they enable the user to change the

number of lives  for  each  person,  and  to  set  the  score for each

occurence.
