Assault on Port Stanley

_Assault On Port Stanley_ takes place during the Falkland Wars and the player
takes the role of an S.A.S. commander and has to liberate Port Stanley from
the Argentinian occupants. The task at hand is to break through the enemy
blockade and pick up troops from a sabotage mission behind enemy lines.

The game is split into three stages. The game starts with the player being
aboard a warship that is slowly approaching land. This section works similarly
to the battle station sequence of Beach-Head. The player takes control of the
ship’s cannon from a first person perspective and has to shot down the enemy
ships as they appear while at the same time avoiding their fire. At any time
the player can take off with his helicopter and move on to the next stage
which is a shoot ’em up game in the style of 1942. However the helicopter has
a limited amount of fuel and therefore the player can’t launch it too early,
as it won’t be enough to reach the shore. The number of waves of enemy planes
in this section depends on how many ships the player has destroyed in the
naval stage. Upon reaching the island the third stage is launched which plays
like River Raid. The player flies his helicopter over a channel while trying
to avoid the cliffs on the sides and the enemy boats and barrages. Along the
banks there will be stations where the player can land to pick up men and
refuel. At the end of the level the player gets bonus points for each man that
has been rescued.
