BLACK HORNET
                             ------------


 BRIEF SPECIFICATION
 -------------------
 This aircraft has many of the latest features:
 *  Titanium honeycomb structure for great strength with extreme
    lightness.
 *  Fuel cooled exhaust nozzles to minimise infra red heat signatures.
 *  Unstable aerodynamic design with fly-by-wire computer systems for
    maximum manoeuvrability.
 *  Generic weapons and fuelling mounts enabling different weapons to
    be carried without modification and enable re-fuelling at enemy
    installations.
 
 
 FIANL BRIEFING
 --------------
 At your disposal is a range of air-to-air and air-to-ground weapons
 with which you can destroy the might of the enemy forces, its
 aircraft, ships and gound installations.
 
 All your skill at the controls will be needed, moving Black Hornet in
 all three dimensions, to avoid or destroy enemies and missiles, whilst
 ensuring that the aircraft does not collide with the terrain.
 
 
 BLACK HORNET THE GAME
 ---------------------
 Essential info:
 Points are gained by shooting ground installations and enemy aircraft. 
 Black Hornet can be shot down if it receives enough direct hits, or
 runs out of fuel.
 
 Normal control (left, right, forward or back) is maintained through
 the joystick.
 
 
 A shadow is visible on the screen, below the aircraft, to indicate
 Black Hornet's height relative to the ground.
 
 When an airfield or aircraft carrier is encountered you have the
 option to land.  This is done by pushing up and Fire at the beginning
 of the runway.  On landing successfully an options window will rise
 but note that the enemy is still active and can inflict damage. 
 Weapons are bought for points and so decrease the points score.
 
 
 You can buy any weapon that you can afford as well as Extra fuel,
 shield, Turbo boost and side thrust.  The last two of these speed up
 your ship allowing you to avoid enemy fire.
 
 In flight weapons can be switched by pressing the space bar.
 
 
 On reaching the end of each level the aircraft lands automatically. 
 The four terrain types are: a barren desert, valleys and mountains,
 sea, and - finally - space.
