How to Play Air Fortress
Quick start
Press START and choose the normal game rather than password entry. During the first approach collect E and B capsules without touching the scenery. Once inside, try brief upward thrusts and rest on a safe surface. To use a recorded password: START, SELECT, START, enter the code with the D-pad and confirm with START.
Controls
Outside: D-pad steers the craft; A or B fires. Inside: Left/Right moves, Up uses the jetpack, and Up/Down operates lifts or passages; A fires the regular beam and B spends a Crash Beam shot. START pauses/resumes. SELECT chooses password entry at the opening menu.
Air Fortress — About this game
Every assault has two connected demands. First Hal Bailman rides a small craft through a scrolling approach, avoiding scenery and collecting E and B capsules. They are supplies for the interior: energy determines how much activity and damage the suit can withstand, while B capsules provide limited Crash Beam shots. After docking, the action becomes an exploration of rooms, lifts and passages on foot and with a jetpack. Ordinary shots and movement consume operating energy; stopping briefly restores part of it, but this does not erase the losses caused by enemy damage. Strong shots can make a difficult encounter shorter, so spending them on every small enemy is costly. Find the central reactor, destroy it and locate the escape craft before the fortress blows apart. Later layouts make remembering the way back as valuable as reaching the core. Losing three craft outside or running out of energy inside ends the attempt. The game-over password lets you return to that fortress’s approach and gather supplies again.
