.FLYING TIGERS V1.2 This game needs to be installed into the root of a drive to run. Since this can be inconvenient, you can subst a drive. Make sure that the new drive letter is not already in use somewhere, and that your LASTDRIVE setting will allow the drive to exist. In the example below, you can use any drive letter, not F: in particular. To run the game, install it wherever you want, then do these things: SUBST F: C:\TEST (or wherever Flying Tigers is installed) F: SETUP Select auto-detect, it takes a while but should return the correct info The MIDI settings should be ok, but you can alter them if you want Don't choose PC SPEAKER or you get no sound at all Choose to save settings and exit. TGR.EXE Press E to select English. You will be asked if the sound settings are correct, press Y. Then you get a scrolling intro with lots of spelling errors Press SPACE to skip the intro if you've seen it before The main menu will appear. You can turn the sound and music on and off You can configure the keyboard. Choose SPACE as FIRE 1. As far as I can tell, FIRE 2 is not used. When you are satisfied with the settings, you can start playing. The game is a shoot-em-up, shoot WW2 planes, and also ships and ground placements. Floating power-ups can be grabbed by flying over them. If you destroy a zeppelin you can get a tiger's head power-up. At the end of the stage, bonuses are awarded for each plane and ground placement that you had destroyed. Every so often, a challenging stage appears, these are quite tough. NOTES: 1. All settings are saved, you will not be prompted again. This includes sound settings, language selection, and keyboard config. BUT, you will still have to press Y when you run TGR.EXE 2. DON'T DELETE ANY FILES, EVEN THE USELESS GERMAN ONES, OR THE GAME WON'T START. 3. When asked to enter the High Score, it is a better idea to enter your name.
