SECTION V

How to Fly the
Unfriendly Skies

By this time you've already seen enough combat to realize that the title of this section is a little bit dumb.

"Aw, c'mon," you say. "There's no simple how-to-do-it solutions to games as complicated as this!"

You're right, of course. Flying the SEGA F-16 Fighting Falcon is a tough, challenging exercise and there are no easy answers. Besides, you wouldn't want it that way.

There is something to be learned, however, from going through a sample game and examining some of its key elements. Let's do that now and see what we can find out.

Sample Game

Phase One
You've got the SEGA card in place, the power is turned on and the title page for F-16 Fighting Falcon is on screen. "PUSH START BUTTON," it says, and so you do. You press button "B" or button "C" on Control Pad 1. The screen flashes to Level 1. On screen you see a black aircraft and a white aircraft.

ANALYSIS OF PHASE ONE EVENTS

1.	Starting the game can be accomplished by pressing EITHER button "B" or button "C" on Control Pad 1.
2.	The total number of aircraft that appear on screen during the Level 1 display indicates the total number of enemy planes that will be encountered at that level. The number of black planes indicates the number of aircraft that can appear simultaneously. Therefore, the Level 1 display indicates that you will encounter a total of two enemy planes, one plane at a time.
