by WildKaarde. Comment: "You're driving a well-armed jeep through a burnt out city, being harrassed by tanks and helicopters. Good thing you're jeep is fast! The coin-op version has an acetate overlay of the "map", while MAME users need to download some ARTWORK files. The walls block all shots, yours and theirs. As the levels progress, the tanks get more accurate and the helicopters more agressive (and spiral around your location making them more difficult targets.) My favorite tactic for downing helicopters is to sidle up against a building, then rapid fire in the direction of the oncoming helicopter. You don't always win with this manuever, but it's fun trying. " (2002-12-28 15:50:57Z)

--- 720 --- (Contributor: unknown) In the ramp section, levels 8, 9, and 10: holding down the kick and jump buttons simultanously on the lip of the ramp will boost your air. This trick only works when you're going the correct speed (usually your third or fourth jump), and only once (as far as I can tell) per ramp session per level. ----------- Afterburner ----------- (Contributor: Anthony D.
