Air Strike for Intellivision

 AIR STRIKE (Unfinished)

Cartridge Instructions

(For 1 player)


You're piloting a biplane through enemy territory. Drop bombs on factories and

ammunition depots Engage enemy planes in dogfights to the death!


OBJECT OF THE GAME


You have only one chance to destroy as many enemy targets as possible. Maneuver

the plane droping bombs or firing the guns to hit the targets. Each hit scores

points that will displayed when the game ends. Sadly to say..this is when you

crash your plane.


PRESS RESET BUTTON: Title will appear on TV screen.


SELECT SPEED Press button 1,2, or 3 to select a SLOWER game speed. Press

Direction Disc for fastest speed.


GAME CONTROLS


KEYPAD: (Any key but 0) Flips the plane upside down. When the plane is turned

right side up, it will be facing the opposite direction. Keep in mind that the

DISC works in the opposite direction!


UPPER SIDE BUTTON: Fires gun. Only two shots may be in the air at one time.


LOWER SIDE BUTTON: Drop bombs. Only one bomb may be in the air at one time. It's

trajectory depends on the speed and direction the plane is moving.


DIRECTION DISC: When the plane is flying upright and from left to right,

pressing the LEFT side of the disc turns the plane upward and the RIGHT side

turns the plane downward. When the plane is flying upright and from right to

left, pressing the RIGHT side of the disc turns the plane upward and the LEFT

side turns the plane downward.


DEVELOPMENT HISTORY Due to the popularity of the Biplanes game in the Triple

Action cartridge, APh proposed this one-player version. A prototype was shown to

Mattel with scrolling mountain terrain and targets that could be bombed. The

plane graphics, sound effects and flight control were lifted directly from

Biplanes. (Enemy planes were not included in the prototype but promised for the

finished game.) Marketing (not crazy about the Biplanes as the programmers)

chose not to release the game and it went unfinished.

Evidence supporting quantum information processing in animals

              Evidence supporting quantum            information processing in animals                    James A. Donald                    1068 Fulton Av                    Sunnyvale, CA 94089-1505                    USA I show that quantum systems can rapidly solve some problems for which finite state machines require a non- polynomially large time. This class of problems is closely related to the class of problems that animals can solve rapidly and effortlessly, but are intractable for computers by all known algorithms. 1. Introduction      Animals, including very simple animals, can rapidly and effortlessly perceive objects, whereas computers take nonpolynomial time to do this by all...

ARMIES OF CHAOS

                          ARMIES OF CHAOS -      Before anyone proposes more gun control, he or she should know  about a simple, deadly weapon 4 times as powerful as Dirty Harry's  legendary .44 Magnum -- and at least twice as concealable -- that  _can't_ controlled.        This simple, deadly weapon can be made by anyone -- even a  child -- with unpowered hand tools in an hour's time using $5 worth  of materials, most of which are available around the house anyway.   In traditional form it's reusable an unlimited number of times, and  modern plastics have rendered its disposable version electronically  undetectable.  You can clear a room with such a weapon (more of a  hand-held directional grenade than a gun -- sort of a recycleable  Claymore mine) and it's just one of hundreds of similar time-proven  designs. ...
