Atari FLASHBACK2 CX-2600 - Manual (Page 75)

Mission 2: Interceptors and Patrollers
Wave 1: Interceptors are the primary enemy attack jet. They can shoot only what is in front of them.
Wave 2: Patroller jets follow assigned routes. Use your long-range radar to locate the Patroller
squadron. After you have identified them, use thrusters (or after-burner) and quick maneuvering to bring
them into your sights. Use your thrusters when you want quick acceleration. When you have completed
Mission 2, you earn a spare life.
Mission 3: Bombers
Wave 1: In Mission 3, Bombers follow assigned patrol routes. They shoot from either the front or the
back and are difficult to destroy. They are also protected by Escorters.
Wave 2: The Patrollers will try to sneak up and shoot you from behind. When you have completed
Mission 3, you earn a spare life.
Mission 4: Stealth Fighters
Wave 1: In Mission 4, your ship has the ability to roll. This makes it much easier to maneuver, and the
game moves much more quickly at this point.
Wave 2: Enemy Stealth Fighters appear. They can jam your long-range radar and sneak up behind
you, so you need to move quickly to avoid being hit. When you have completed Mission 4, you earn a
spare life.
Mission 5: Super Bombers
Wave 1: You get one last warm-up round of Interceptors before the Super Bombers appear.
Wave 2: Your final mission is to destroy five Super Bombers, which are escorted by Patrollers, Stealth
Fighters, and Escorters.
Strategy
You have only five guided missiles. Use them wisely.
Proximity missiles are especially effective for destroying the escort fleet that protects an enemy
bomber.
