dodging enemy fire too iate, or colliding with

Mission Log
Levei 1: New York
Okay, Captain, let's knock 'em out of New
York. The key to your success is to carefully
follow your flight instructions. Fee! the power
of the LX-3FX as you battle among the sky-
scrapers.

Level 2: Grand Canyon
Enemy choppers are relatively easy to blast
here. Watch for installations on the precipices.
Hit your enemies squarely in the middle of the
Target Indicator, or they may do you in!
Level 3: Ocean
First confirm the presence of an enemy fleet,
then attack. Patience is as important as accu¬
racy, A few well-placed missiles can open up
a path in front of you. The combat machines
are fast so use caution. Your main target: the
enemy’s large aircraft carrier.
Level 4: Easter Island
Here you'll confirm the presence of an enemy
base and go after it with all you've got. Stay
clear of the cliffs and keep a light touch on the
controls. Hit the tanks that emerge from the
shadows of the statues before they can set
their sights on you.
Level 5: Small Enemy Fortress
You pass through a mountain range during
the first half of this stage. Watch for attackers
that suddenly drop out of the clouds. The
enemy awaits—this is no time for napping!

Level 6: Rome
Here you battle an enemy air squadron. Your
opponents are fairly tough, so maintain tight
control, There are many enemy helicopters,
and they’ll attack at high speed. Be careful!
Level 7: Desert
Enemy movements are now quicker and more
violent. It's time for some serious fighting. Be
especially alert in the desert oil fields, where
the enemy awaits.
Level 8: Jungle
Spotting the enemies hidden in the jungle is
difficult, but you can clear the round by using
your guns and tons of technique.
Level 9: Cavern
This battle takes place in a cave! To avoid
hitting the waiis, follow directional indicators
precisely. Keep an eye on enemy choppers or
you won’t return from this mission!
Stage 10: Main Enemy Fortress
Say your prayers!
Forceful Sound: Binaural Recording
Btnaura! means “both ears/ 1 The binaural record¬
ing method uses two nondirectional microphones
on a dummy human head, with the mikes placed
in the location of the ears. The resulting effect is
faithful to the human sense of hearing. Binaurally
recorded sound adds life to the quality of the
recording, because it heightens the listeners
sensation of the sound’s direction and distance.
Because of Cobra Command's binaural record¬
ing, you can enjoy extra power in the sound. You
feel a sense of openness and movement, and the
sound will wrap around you until you get the sense
of being “on location.”
For this reason, we recommend that you use
headphones during play to enjoy the full effect of
the game.
