River Raid 
==========
(c) 1983/4 Activision Inc.! 

The game was originally made by ACTIVISION INC., but the original I had was from the FIREBIRD-'Silver range'- series sold some years later... 


THE GAME: 
---------
You are a fighter pilot with an important but deadly mission: You must destroy a number of vital enemybridge links that are well defended by helicopter gun-ships, deadly land tanks, ships and observation balloons. You must fly down the river valley and destroy the bridges at every opportunity. 


PLAYING THE GAME: 
-----------------

Joystick controls: 
Left=Left / Right=Right / Fire=Fire Up=Faster / Down=Slower 
Attach the joystick to port 1 of your C64. 

Press 'F3' to select Game Type. There are a variety of levels with either 1 player and HIGH SCORE format ora two player game. For 2 players, a 2nd joystick must be attached to port 2 (or switch ports each turn). 

A bonus jet is awarded every 10000 points scored. 

Manoeuvre your way down the meandering river valley, avoiding the cliffs on either side and destroying the enemy ships, balloons, helicopters and tanks as you go. 

Keep an eye on your fuel gauge and collect more fuel by passing over the 'FUEL' dumps. These are the only items in the game that you are permitted to come in contact with. 

You can score points by destroying enemycraft and fuel dumps, and extra points are awarded if a bridge is detroyed whilst a tank is crossing it. Chocks away and good luck!
