continued
the refueling point. The player must also
avoid or destroy MIG fighters and other
FIREFOX prototypes in one-on-one
combat.
Awareness of fuel level is crucial to com-
pleting a mission. The new "heads-up"
graphic display functions as a cursor used
to sight targets. It also indicates fuel level
and missile ammunition status.
FIREFOX offers more choices, more
variety of action. The player chooses one
of four escape flight paths during level
select. He is then faced with an ongoing
series of challenges demanding instant
decisions and fast reactions.
High altitude flying uses less fuel but
makes FIREFOX more vulnerable to detec-
tion. Low altitude flying uses more fuel but
gives better cover. A direct hit by enemy
aircraft also depletes fuel. Game play is
determined solely by the player's
responses to these and other risk/reward
situations.
The ultra-responsive FIREFOX controller
g
is the latest technological achievement in
flight simulation. Thumb buttons launch
missiles, trigger switches fire bursts of can-
non shells.
The strong game play is set against
brilliant changing sky and landscapes
from actual film footage. Ground shadows,
cloud reflections, secret ground targets,
helicopters, ships and instruction clips add
to the extraordinary realism. At the higher
levels, day turns to night, and the player
must rely only on the cursor to fly the
FIREFOX.
The audio reproduction system is the
most sophisticated in the industry. The
soundtrack includes dramatic stereo
sound effects, Clint Eastwood's voiceover,
and an original music score composed
specially for the game that enhances the
mood and pace of the action.
FIREFOX utilizes a new technically
superior laser disc player co-designed with
North American Philips to Atari specifica-
tions for industrial/commercial application.
Designed for high reliability, the system
gives extremely rapid access to "inter-
leaved" video segments, creating contin-
uous action and no 'tlead spots."
