Gameplay


Falcon Patrol II is a scrolling shooter over a landscape resembling Egypt or the Middle East. The player controls a jet fighter and has to destroy a set number of enemy helicopters to clear a level. The helicopters come in three forms:


 * 1) Transport: unarmed helicopter that lays missile turrets and radar interference devices on the ground
 * 2) Gunship: escorts the transport helicopters and shoots at the fighter
 * 3) Solo: fast combat helicopter that goes right after the fighter.

The jet fighter has a finite supply of fuel and ammunition, but both can be replenished by landing on a landing pad.
