INSTRUCTIONS
~ ~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~ TRI HELI II ~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~ ~ A horizontal scrolling arcade strategy game. Coded for ATARI ST by Janet Dean and Kathy Steinbach. Music driver/code, some gfx and code consultant: G.Wheaton. Music inspiration: Tangerine Dream. INSTRUCTIONS: Fly the joystick controlled helicraft and collect one diamond at a time. Return to base with each diamond and to recharge the gun, the gun holds a hundred rounds of ammunition so take care not to run out at a vital moment. Your score/money, shown bottom right goes down with each shot fired. Also your money slowly runs down, reflecting the running cost of the helicraft. If your money reaches zero then you are unable to further continue the mission and it's game over. Get more money by returning to base with diamond cocoons. The 'HELP' key can be used to skip any levels you don't like or think too hard but, it costs 5000 to skip a level. To exit a game and return to the title screens press 'F10'. To pause the game press the space bar. One extra ship will be awarded as your score reaches 15000, further ships are awarded at 20000 point intervals. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ STORY: Survivors of an appocolyptic planet are stranded in diamond shape cocoons. The remaining planet occupants,stricken with mind crippling disease have run amuck as though taken over by evil. They are killing and infecting others. The lucky few who occupied the cocoons in time are the main target of the mad, luckily the cocoons are strong enough to withstand most assaults. Realising this, the mad are burying the sane alive under rocky, marshy soil and planting mines to prevent their rescue. The cocooned people are safe only for a time: until their food rations run out, or until the mad find a way to destroy their cocoons. Luckily their distress signal has been picked up by the benevolent occupants of a passing starship who presently dispatch several small helicrafts to rescue as many cocoons as possible. As pilot of one of these small rescue vessels you too have become an enemy of the mad and must battle the odds to rescue the innocent, cocooned people. -------------------------------------- We hope you like the result of all our hard, but enjoyable work.
