Birdstrike

"The virtuoso Melvyn Wright provides the inspirational music while you load; this time it's A Long Way to Tipperary."
Acorn User

"I found the game very enjoyable - my only complaint is the way it slows down when simultaneously displaying a plane, pigeon and gun emplacement."
Electron User

"All the action is fast and smooth providing a game of limited scope but well-executed."
Home Computing Weekly

"Bird Strike is initially unimpressive but it grows on you."
The Micro User

Introduction

Wing the planes to release a carrier pigeon, shoot the pigeon and add a note to the stave at the top of the screen. if you can complete the tune you will be rewarded with a bonus of 1500 points and move onto the next level.

Attacking planes will drop bombs and relentlessly home-in on your position at the bottom of the screen. Planes can only be destroyed by hitting them dead centre. If all the planes are destroyed but insufficient notes placed on the stave to complete the tune, your bonus is lost and you will be given a second chance.
