How the mouse works? [/b]
By detecting two-dimensional motion relative to its supporting surface.
But I don't think that was what you were asking about?

live2enjoy Some people truly are stupid... how many times the_fifth_horseman have to type "use dosbox!" mg2:
Its free to download and the link is listed all over this site!

Here are the steps:
1) Download Armor Alley, unzip it, and extract to say "C:\Games\"
In this case a folder named AA will automatically me made in ^ folder for Armor Alley, but for other games you might have to extract to say "C:\games\simpsons" or all the spare files will make a mess of your games folder.
2) Download dosbox, unzip, and extract it to say "C:\Programs\Dosbox"
3) Run dosbox
4) Type: mount c c:\games\ or c:\games\aa (if you're only playing 1 game today)
5) Hit enter
6) Type: c:
7) Hit enter
8) You'll see z:\ has changed to c:\ (but it is really c:\games or c:\games\aa depended on what you did in step 4)
9)Type in dir or dir/p to split the info is too long. If you're in c:\games you'll see folders... one of which is aa, so type in "cd aa" and press enter to enter that folder. If you are already in c:\games\aa when you type dir you will see the files in that folder... one of which is aa.exe ... so just type in aa and press enter, and the game will run.
10)To go into full-screen mode hit alt+enter
11) The rest you can figure out yourself

The game is meant to be played with mouse.. so make sure it works.. especially for selecting options on the top of the screen (using alt is annoying)... Though with keyboard its probably even easier to control the helicopter. And it has good gun/explosion sound effects (not pc speaker), though no music. The game is full-version but its a little confusing at first to get out of trial mode and 'register' it. You don't really register... <_<

The controls are like this:
"Action" controls:
Mouse/arrow-keys moves the helicopter. Click rotates the helicopter, but you can turn auto-turn on. Z releases bombs (good for everything but especially opponent helicopter). X releases missles (good for tanks). Shift shoots vulcan/machine-gun (good for infantry, vans, but also helicopter & tanks). Space releases infantry inside helicopter. If in the air they will parachute (though that is dangerous). *To pick up infantry you land in front of them and they climb inside. There is a limit to 5 men inside. If you pick up engineers they lose their equipment and become regular infantry.* To suicide-attack your helicopter press enter, the pilot will parachute out while the helicopter continues out of control... hopefully into a tank!

"General" controls:
T = tank
I = infantry
E = engineer
V = van
M = ground-to-air mobile missle-launcher
H = spare helicopter (expensive and not always available)

You can read the rest in the in-game help...

IMPORTANT: If you cannot follow these directions to run dosbox... then you are not meant to go near a computer. :wallbash: Throw it out the window (don't kill anyone if you live upstairs) , and go read some Playboy's.

The Fifth Horseman It seems you are trying to run the game in plain Windows. I strongly suggest you use DosBox instead.
You can download it here.

RescueRaiderFanatic I try to run it in XP and I get the monitor screen in a continuous scroll. How do I fix it so the
screen is stationary?

Guest I like to read the story diaries again, not the how to play
27-09-2006 06:45 PM
Eagle of Fire Unless I'm mistaken, the ingame help system says it all.

Guest Anyone has the manual? I used to have it but I can't find it anymore.

Kurt Has anyone played this game over a LAN.
I actually own a purchased copy of it and just downloaded it as well.

The docs discuss playing over a modem - haven't tried over a LAN yet - anyone had success with that?

Thanks,
Kurt

PS: This was one of my old favorites on the Apple II. k:
