If the animations and effects had been more realistic, I think I would have been a bit disgusted by this game. They don't give a list of what the cards are in the manual, but I can tell you that the Vortex AU8830 on my machine didn't work properly so I had to play on another computer to really get the sounds.Īnd in the case of this game, I'm really glad that the graphics and sounds weren't more lifelike than they are. And if you have certain sound cards, you have to turn off your 3D sound acceleration for the game to work. The sounds were also very basic and unimpressive. They are simple and a little ugly, but get the basic job done. But for some reason, it didn't really bother me too much. The graphics in this game are not the best you'll ever see. The game has a price tag of $20, which isn't terrible, but you really do get what you pay for. There doesn't really seem to be any rhyme or reason for that to happen which got to be very annoying.
I found after playing for a while that some of the time, the missiles seem to have a mind of their own and fly by the target you wanted to hit something far off in the distance.
You basically point yourself towards the plane you want to shoot down and the missiles seek it out. The biggest problem that I had with the game had to do with targeting flying objects. Toggling between weapons is quick and easy as it should be as there are only three selectable guns and your missiles are fired with the m key while in any of the gun modes. The actual control took a little bit of time to get used to, but it got to feel pretty smooth after I had played the game for a while. The amount of troops that need destroyed and the pattern of attack changes and gets more difficult as you increase in level. Various types of enemies will storm the beach including companies of soldiers, tanks, APCs filled with soldiers, attack helicopters, fighter planes, bombers, and troop carrying helicopters. There really isn't all that much to this game. Thankfully some nice officer with a soft spot in his heart for the lone man against overwhelming odds has seen fit to send a cargo ship to you to drop off medical supplies and more ammo. Sadly, you will need to defend the one strip of beach that vehicles can land on with just your 30mm gun, your anti tank (AT) gun, some missiles, and if you run out of all of your ammo, a handgun. Probably something to do with getting caught "talking" to the general's daughter. The controls are simple - mostly you're just steering a vehicle and occasionally shooting - and the sound is minimalist.Once again, you somehow get stuck as the lone gunman stance on a beach that is under assault. You'll need to steer your vessel to the island battle the enemy fleet there drive a tank during the assault and then take on the heavily defended enemy bunker to capture the island.
Although the graphics are rudimentary (but ambitious for their day) it combines a wide range of different types of game play from ship navigation to shooting to driving into a single package. Combined-arms operationsīeach Head was a critical hit when it was released in the 80s and it's easy to see why. Each stage is essentially a different minigame making this a very varied gaming experience. In each stage of the game you'll be responsible for a different part of the invasion from the original naval approach to the final assault on the enemy position. You play various parts in an amphibious landing force trying to capture an island in the war's Pacific theatre.
