Mission: Code Name River Raid. Jet down the river. Break the enemy blockade and blast the bridges to halt enemy troop advances. Terrain: Code Name River of No Return. An ever-changing, ever-challenging waterway. Expect huge islands, narrow channels and treacherous bays crawling with enemy choppers, tankers and jets. Weaponry: Code Name StratoStrafer. Your B1 StratoWing Assault Jet has been retrofitted with sophisticated, rapid-fire guided missiles. Your craft is super-sensitive to the stick. Accelerate, slow or bank radically with only a touch. Tactics: Jet low to the river to avoid radar. Stop periodically at depots to refuel. A warning claxxon will alert you. Top speed! Best of luck!

Strap yourself into a fighter pilot's dream machine. Your jet is fully loaded: radar, thrust bar, altimeter - the works. Just getting off the carrier is a challenge, and landing is even tougher. Duel high-speed enemy jets and helicopters in a teeth-to-teeth dogfight amidst a pyro-spectacular of explosive flak. Refuel in mid-air and thrust down to sea level for an all-out battle with enemy destroyers. Strafe the enemy landscape with the awesome firepower of missile cannons and heat-seeking torpedoes. It's payback time! Jet down into the treacherous river channel and blast enemy tanks, landing strips, water towers, destroyers, and bridges into fiery submission.
