When the plane is flying upright and from right to left, pressing the RIGHT side of the disc turns the plane upward and the LEFT side turns the plane downward. DEVELOPMENT HISTORY Due to the popularity of the Biplanes game in the Triple Action cartridge, APh proposed this one-player version. A prototype was shown to Mattel with scrolling mountain terrain and targets that could be bombed. The plane graphics, sound effects and flight control were lifted directly from Biplanes. (Enemy planes were not included in the prototype but promised for the finished game.) Marketing (not crazy about the Biplanes as the programmers) chose not to release the game and it went unfinished. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (c)1979, 1998 Intellivision Productions, Inc.
