There are several thing you must do in this game. Your general
objective is to keep everybody and everything safe from the
volcano and the periodical air strikes. And the submarine.

Starting on the left hand side of the playing area, the first
island is your base. This is where you start from, and if your
helicopter gets damaged, landing here will repair it. You can
also refuel from here as well. Should you also rescue any
people, this is where you must drop them of to gain the points.
Rescuing is done by lowering the rope and flying the end of it
into the men. Depending on how much rope you lower, you can
carry up to 5 people at once. When dropping them off, be careful
that you just lower the bottom person on the rope to level with
the ground – they will automatically climb off. If you go down
too low you will kill them.
