BiPlane 4

A timed game where four players shoot each other out of the sky as many times as possible before the timer runs out. The left players fly the black BiPlanes and the right players fly the white BiPlanes. Very simple game play, but also very fun!

The game screen has a long bar at the bottom with a divider in the middle. That is your takeoff runway. Running into the divider causes you to crash. You must gain speed prior to takeoff then pull the up/down control back to take off. Once in the air a player can slow down if necessary. Anti-aircraft fire rings the outer edges of the screen. If you fly into it, you are shot down and crash. The sounds of the Biplane falling out of the sky and crashing are great. Each player's Biplane has it's own speaker. Once you make it into the air, the object of the game is simple; shoot each other out of the sky before time runs out. Score is kept at the top of the screen. When time is about ready to run out, the scores begin to flash until the end of the game. Each score is the same color as it's Biplane; either black or white. The game is kind of like an air-based version of Space Wars, but this game was released two years earlier and uses a raster monitor.
