HOW TO BE A "COMMANDO"
AT CHOPPER COMMAND" BY ACTIVISION"
Tips from Bob Whitehead, designer of Chopper Command
Bob Whitehead is a Senior Designer at Activision
Before creating Chopper Command," Bob
designed Boxing, Skiing and Stampede" for
Activision.
"As you'll soon discover, Chopper Command
takes quick reflexes and keen coordination. How-
ever, there is a strategic side to the game as well.
"For example, your truck convoys will always
travel from the right to the left. And so will
the enemy formations. Knowing this, you can position yourself at the left
side of the screen and start firing as soon as the enemy aircraft appear.
This is important because your helicopters chances of being hit by a multi-
warhead missile increase the closer the enemy aircraft get. The enemy
pilots are real kamikazes, too, and they'll collide with you if they can't
shoot you down.
"Good luck! | hope you have as much fun playing Chopper Command as
I had designing it. God Bless"
