With killer missiles hanging from its underbelly, italways goes for the enemy jet's jugular.[HOW TO PLAY]____________________________________________________  With bogeys hot on your tail, you must skillfully maneuver your F-14 Tomcatthrough stage after stage of guy wrenching warfare.  At the beginning of each stage you'll choose from an array of missiles,including the Phoenix, the Sparrow and the ever trusty Sidewinder.  To helpyou fight fire with fire, you'll also have the mega-blasting Vulcan Cannon.  To begin your mission, select either ONE PLAYER, ONE PLAYER VS. GAME, orthe TWO PLAYER DOGFIGHT.  Then press the Start Button.

The A button also controls your speed.  Hold it down to increase yourvelocity.  Release it to slow down.  Note: The slower your speed, the easier it is to zero-in on the target.When your afterburners are fully throttled, you've got a better chance ofdodging enemies that have locked onto you.B BUTTON  Hold the B Button down to fire your Vulcan Cannon.  When the target enters your sights, it will automatically lock into yourfighter's computer (as indicated by arrow).  When this occurs, press the BButton twice to fire one of your missiles.CONTROL PAD  This is your guidance mechanism, controlling the F-14's flaps and ailerons.It allows you to change direction on a dime, whether you want to roll, loop,dive or set the fighter on its tail.  Special functions: Press the Control Pad Left or Right twice rapidly andyou'll make one Barrel Roll. (During this Barrel Roll you won't be able to goup, down, left or right.  But you'll have a better chance of avoiding oncomingmissiles.)  If you press the Control Pad twice rapidly in the opposite direction duringthe middle of the Barrel Roll, you'll reverse the roll and revolve back to youroriginal position.  At TOP GUN School they call these maneuvers "ROLLING THE DICE."                                                                      [Page 5][THE MAIN MISSION (YOU AGAINST THE WORLD)]__________________________  You're the sole pilot between the enemy's Armageddon bound armada and globalannihilation.  Talk about a rock and a hard place!  To save the day, you mustsurvive and conquer three stages of combat and then return safely (thoughprobably severally shot up) to base.  In STAGE ONE, destroy all (repeat all) of the enemy's nuclear attack subs.After that, blast the cruise missile carrying "Black Jack" bomber.  In STAGE TWO, blast your way through a take infested forest, avoidingStinger Missiles, until you find and shoot from the sky the doubly-destructive"Hind Alpha" helicopter.  Finally, in STAGE THREE, you'll have to soar through a lightning storm whileavoiding Killer Satellite-based laser beams.  At the end of this stage you'llprobably reach the end of the line, as you confront the enemy's "Star Wars"space shuttle.  NOTE FROM THE DESIGNERS OF YOUR F-14: When the submarine, tank, forest,lightning or laser beams are on the screen your plane will be incapable of"ROLLING THE DICE."  This is to ensure pilot safety, preventing you frompulling too many Gs and blacking out.
