Videopac / Odyssey2 forum

Air Battle is the December game of the month!  Take flight but beware of flying reindeer, I need Santa to visit this Christmas ;).

Anyone care to enlighten the folks in the states about the game?  Was it popular in Europe or Brazil?  Any tips to getting a better score?

Together with Comando Noturno and "Bombardeio Submarino" (VP 16), it was the last games released here, so it was not so popular. I just had a chance to play it 8 years ago more or less, but I don?t like it much. As fly simulator Comando Noturno is a better option beside some bugs.

In Europe it was one of the last Videopac games released here too (Videopac 58), so it's quite rare.
The cartridge contains extra bank-switch hardware, because it's a 12k game.

Since there are quite a number of differences between the Brazilian version, the release European version and the European prototype version, I wonder which version you guys find more difficult to play?

I can?t remember much of Euro prototype version. I think in the air all version are the same. The brazilian, I think is most difficulty because is needed to control the landing and take-off moving the joystick left or rigth. I just don?t know why the brazilian version made some graphics changes, since the euro version, with rear-view  mirror (in apropiate size) and bars to indicate ammunition and fuel looks much better.

Let's begin ...
Poor score for "le fou volant" ...190

Let's play "Le Fou Volant"   ...new score: 505.

Tomorrow I?ll try to fly. But how I remember I never did more than 200 points.

My fisrt attempt. >:(

VIDEOPAKBELGIUM- Congrats on the high score for the month!!!
