Fun game for a while - see my review. Supposedly the game can be completed by bombing the base, then returning to the carrier and land. Never worked for me though. Saw a longplay of the Amstrad version - there the game wraps around and after destroying the base you fly out over the water again and your carrier is there to land on. On the C64, the jungle beyond the base is endless, as is the ocean left of the carrier.
Good in its day without a doubt although was overshadowed quite quickly. I still remember having so much fun with this game though.
I'd much rather play Falcon Patrol instead. In general, Durell created many good games (Critical mass, Saboteur series), but sadly this isn't one of them.
Harrier Attack is one of the first shoot-em-ups. It's battle for Falklands in fact, where your Spitfire should defeat enemy airoplanes and tanks and than land on. Simple graphics but still nice small game from 1984.
One of my first games. Gets quite repetetive after a while. Is it possible to land and refuel? Is there anything of interest if you continue to fly as far as right or left as possible? The questions are many, the answers are few :-D
Well, not best graphics and SFX but a great gameplay... Try it.
