Story:The game is a horizontally scrolling shooter set over a number of World War II missions. The player starts each mission by taking off from an aircraft carrier, which he/she has to protect from attacks by Japanese planes. The goal is to defeat the Japanese by destroying enemy bunkers, turrets and barracks on a series of islands and killing enemy soldiers either with bombs or by machine gun. The weapons to complete these objectives, besides machine guns, are a limited number of bombs, rockets and torpedoes. On some missions, the player must also sink Japanese vessels, such as destroyers, battleships, and aircraft carriers. The player has a finite amount of fuel and munitions, which can be replenished by returning to the carrier. The player's aircraft can be destroyed by accumulated damage from enemy fire or by crashing into the terrain.Show more

one of the best flight sims - and one of the first that I ever played! I remember using hours and hours on just how to get the plane airborne! but once you did, man what a game! you set out from an American Carrier to bomb bases controlled by the Japanese during WW2 in the Pacific Ocean. You also dogfight enemy fighter planes (getting to shoot them down is a good challenge). Besides that, there are enemy ships that you can try to sink by using torpedoes (if you can get low enough near the water without dropping into the water with your own plane :P)

This was basically my first game ever played on an Amiga 500. I later got a port for the C64, which was almost as much fun. Back then, when we had no manuals and no internet, I wasted lives by not understanding that the plane can carry only one torpedo, and I never understood how to reload. So I basically flew around, dropped torpedoes on bunkers, and tried to take down battleships with my machinegun. I failed miserably, but it was soooo awesome. I also loved the fact that te game gives you basically two modes of playing - a "low" mode, where the islands and ships are good to see and detailed, and a "high" mode where the plane is hogh enough that a lot of area is rendered, but the details are lost. We played for hours, never even passing the first mission :)
