Blue Lightning

Blue Lightning , a launch title for the Lynx, is an arcade flight game
heavily based on After Burner. The player controls the prototype Blue
Lightning jet in combat against the enemy. The game consists of nine missions
with varied objectives. These range from shooting down enemy planes to taking
out tanks and ships or radar installations. In a courier mission, documents
must be delivered by landing on a certain airfield. Upon successfully
completing a mission, a password is given.

The action is seen from behind the Blue Lightning. With the heavy arcade
focus, there is no danger of stalling or even crashing into the ground.
Crashing into air or ground targets is possible, however. The Blue Lightning
is armed with a cannon with unlimited ammunition and 40 missiles. The on-board
computer automatically seeks missile lock for enemy targets while the cannon
must of course be aimed manually. The Blue Lightning is also equipped with an
afterburner: activating it puts the plane to maximum speed for ten seconds,
allowing one to catch up to enemy targets that got away. After use it takes
another ten seconds to recharge. The plane is also able to pull off a barrel
roll, useful to lose the lock of enemy missiles.
