Atari FLASHBACK2 CX-2600 - Manual (Page 72)

RADAR LOCK (TM) (1 OR 2 PLAYERs)
You're locked in fight-to-the-death air combat with the enemy! You may be outnumbered -- somehow
you've been separated from your buddies -- but this is far from your first mission. You've been flying your
trusty little delta-wing fighter for more months than you care to remember.
Suddenly you sight an enemy interceptor at 12 o'clock! These babies are a piece of cake. You sneak
up from behind and zap it with a few rounds from your machine gun.
Just when you're feeling a little cocky from your last successful hit, an enemy Bomber appears out of
nowhere. This one's not so easy. Not only is its tail gunner an expert shot, but the Bomber is surrounded by
a fleet of Escorters, and you can't even get at it with your guided missiles.
It's going to take all of your expertise, along with your arsenal of ammunition, proximity missiles, and
guided missiles, just to stay alive. Any minute you could be sabotaged by a cagey patroller or the
unsuspecting victim of a sneaky Stealth Fighter.
Enemy Jet at 12 o’ clock!
The object of the game is to use your state-of-the-art delta-wing fighter to defeat the enemy fleet in air
combat. Your fighter plane is equipped with guided missiles, proximity missiles, and rapid-fire machine
guns. The game consists of five missions of increasing difficulty.
When the game begins, your jet starts up, increases speed, and takes off from the air field. The scene
then switches to the combat screen.
At the end of each mission, you must refuel in flight. Use the left controller's fire button to control
your speed during the in-flight refueling sequence. Hold down the button to accelerate, and release the
button to return to normal flying speed. Using the long-range radar and missile lock, fly to the fuel tanker.
When you are close to it, the tanker will lower its fuel hose. Once the nose of your jet is locked into the fuel
hose, your mission is complete. You receive bonus points for your remaining fuel and weapons and then
advance to your next mission.
