How to Play Dropzone
Quick start
Begin a game and locate the base before ranging far away. Pick up a scientist from the ground or catch one released from an alien, then return to the dropzone. Use the laser for ordinary threats and save bombs or cloak energy for a crowded rescue route.
Controls
D-pad moves through the scrolling playfield. A fires the laser, B uses a screen-clearing bomb, SELECT activates the cloak and START pauses/resumes. Watch remaining bombs and cloak energy, and avoid shooting the scientist when freeing one from an alien.
Dropzone — About this game
This preserved pre-release version follows a jet-pack rescue mission. Fly a jet-packed rescuer around a looping landscape, shoot hostile aliens and bring endangered scientists back to the base. Rescue and shooting compete for attention as enemies lift people from the ground and hazards interrupt your approach. Limited screen-clearing bombs and a draining cloak provide emergency options when a safe return becomes difficult. Begin a game and locate the base before ranging far away. Pick up a scientist from the ground or catch one released from an alien, then return to the dropzone. Use the laser for ordinary threats and save bombs or cloak energy for a crowded rescue route.
