### Starting a Game

To start, choose ‘Play’ from the main menu with the arrow keys and select using the spacebar on your keyboard, or use the mouse or joystick and hit the appropriate fire button.

### Game Play

Kill the coyotes within a geographic area from a chopper. Use various weapons including rifle, shoot gun, electric stunner and flame thrower. You have two different types of choppers at your disposal, fast (uses more fuel) and slow. You must pilot the chopper and overcome your target, while aiming your weapon and keeping an eye on the fuel gauge. The weapon and chopper types are best used on particular types of missions. There are 2 modes of play:

- Arcade mode: mindless shooting of coyotes with any weapon and no mission objectives
- Mission mode: Given a special scenario, kill the coyotes required by the mission objective before running out of fuel, using the ammo and weapon assigned. 20 total missions!

ARCADE MODE
Choose your chopper type before entering an area to mindlessly shoot coyotes. Switch weapons at any time. Great for practicing before taking on the 'serious' missions.
MISSION MODE
Set against different graphical themes, you must follow the instructions given to accomplish your mission. Depending on the mission, fuel and ammo may be limited. You must use the assigned weapon. 20 total missions!

### Scorebar

HUD DISPLAY
Your chopper is equipped with a state-of-the-art heads-up-display.
Radar
A radar screen on the lower-right of the screen indicates the locations of all coyotes and the chopper. The coyotes are indicated as small red dots. The chopper is represented by a yellow arrow.
Weapon and Ammo
The chosen weapon and remaining ammunition (if limited) is shown on the lower-left hand portion of the screen
Fuel Gauge
If fuel is limited, a gauge is displayed near the left-center of the display. Be careful to complete your mission before the needle hits empty!
WEAPONS
There are 4 weapons at your disposal, described below:

Rifle
Not very powerful, but you can get shots off fast.
Shotgun
Powerful weapon, but you must wait for the reload.
Electric Stunner
Powerful weapon used to zap your targets, but you can't aim as easily.
Flame-thrower
Very powerful weapon used to bar-b-q your prey, but direction is affected by helicopter speed and turns.

### Game Setup

The perspective sky, fog, and chopper blades can all be toggled on and off from the Game Setup menu. When using a fast computer with a 3D card, turn these options on for nicer visual realism. When running on a slower computer, turn these options off to help speed-up game play.

### Controls

Use the keyboard, joystick, or mouse to control the chopper and the gun. The mouse is the best input device to use for this game. Notice that you can control both the chopper and the weapon with a single hand using the mouse and mouse buttons. This frees up your left hand to use on the 'C' and 'V' keys to toggle between camera and cockpit views (C) and to cycle through camera views (V). Move the mouse to control chopper direction and gun aim. Use the left mouse button to shoot, hold down right mouse button to accelerate (joystick operation is similar).

### Keyboard Commands

Arrow Keys: Direction/Aim
Space: Shoot
Ctrl: Accelerate
C: Camera/Cockpit view toggle
V: Next camera view (camera mode only, not cockpit)
G: Change gun (arcade mode only)
Esc: Menu
1..4: Resize screen (software mode only)
F1: Help
F2: Music on/off
F3: Sound on/off
F4: Window/Fullscreen toggle (software mode only)

### Hints & Tips

Keep an eye on that fuel gauge and pay attention when ammo is limited.

In mission mode, be sure to target the correct type of coyote.

When using the flame-thrower weapon, the flame shoots farther when the chopper is standing still.

Use the radar display to quickly acquire your target.
