M*A*S*H
Following on from the success of the popular TV series, this module should be popular with all M*A*S*H fans.
The object of the game is to collect the wounded men with a helicopter and lift them to M*A*S*H HQ for surgery, using keyboard or joystick.
Among the options are rescue with tank fire and surgery, rescue with ceasefire and surgery, rescue only with tank fire, and rescue only with ceasefire.
Helicopter graphics and sound are well simulated and scores for both Trapper and Hawkeye are displayed at the top of the screen during both rescue and surgery.If you are using a speech synthesizer, then comments like "butterfingers", and other caustic comments are heard, depending on your abilities in the surgery.
If you've limbered up on Microsurgeon, this kind of event should be commonplace. I did find that the scalpel response to the joystick was not as good as the keyboard which got all the running comments.
Points are awarded for each man collected from the battlezone.
