Very basic but not bad for its day ...

The loading screen really gets me in the spirit of playing this every time, being so colorful and funny looking. But after a few minutes zapping helicopters and paratroopers and noticing that there isn't more to the game besides scoring points, I feel like my mission as an anti-aircraft gunner is done.

Defend yourself against the invading paratroopers! Basically shoot helicopters and falling men, only shooting LOSES points regardless of whether you hit or not! Surely losing points after you miss and letting the men land would have been more fair! Anyways if enough men land on one side to drive a tank or if one of the men land directly on you then it's game over. Alright for one game or maybe two but no more than that.

I liked this at first but there are faults with this game that made me change my view quite quickly. Your gun moves quite slowly meaning it's tough to get from one side to the other, plus the parachute men are too random, you think they are fine and you can let them drop but then on the last second he deploys a parachute and lands. I was let down by this especially having liked this initially.
