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.
