Dogfight

Get airborne and enjoy this fully playable demo of MicroProse's latest flight
simulation with various aircraft to chose from


The files within the archived file X_DOG.TOS must all be extracted to the root
directory (that is, not in a folder) of a floppy disk with a standard nine
sectors per track format. Hard drive installation is not possible.
   It must be fair comment that if you are playing a good military flight
simulator, chances are it is from those talented guys and gals at MicroProse.
They just seem to be the most prolific when it comes to ST simulations.
   Their latest flight and fight action comes in the form of Dogfight, a game
which allows the most hardened of pilots to try out their battle skills with
other aviators.
   A rather neat feature about this game is that there is a What If? scenario
which allows you to pitch a Harrier jet against a German Fokker triplane. Great
fun I can tell you.
   In this demo version, you only can access the What If? mode and there are
three planes to choose from - Spitfire, Sea Harrier and the aforementioned and
unfortunate Fokker triplane. Once you choose your plane, you can select from
five other planes to battle against, with the opinion of starting from seven
different positions. You may then select either the Middle East or Vietnam for
the locale to do your dogfight over.
   Before leaving you to it, I'll give you some playing tips. If you are low on
fuel or ammo, you can land at a friendly airbase to refuel and re-arm. Just make
sure it's an allied base!
   Novice pilots may use the Auto Intercept feature (Alt and B) to quickly
engage any nearby enemies.
   Using the Inverse Tactical View (F4) can give you a clear view of the enemy
actions. Use this to plan your strategic response.
   Don't attack into the sun - you will be dazzled, and never, never fly into
the ground!
   The full game features many more planes, missions and various locations to
fly over. The hallowed and illustrious pages of Gamer, written by the ever
present Biffa and Simon, contain a complete review of Dogfight, so turn to page
75 to see what the guys think of it.
