thumbnail — Game Over. Let's take a better look at the instructions...

thumbnail — Your mission like in <i>Cyclone</i>, is to find the targets on the map, but instead of people in need to be rescued, these targets have to be destroyed.

thumbnail — Time and fuel are the most crucial elements to pay attention for. Respectively, an empty tank implies the loss of a life, missing the schedule the game itself.

thumbnail — Without mastering these, there's no success.

thumbnail — Taking off. Not that difficult, but as in every aspect of <i>Tornado</i> this manoeuvre has its tricks.

thumbnail — (At the first glance there were no targets in sight. I forgot I was piloting a <i>Tornado</i> with variable-sweep wings allowing supersonic bursts of speed.)

thumbnail — - Here it is, the first target caught on screen.

thumbnail — Now, the second phase is to fly over it at a certain height with a correct direction so that it can be destroyed.

thumbnail — (After some tens of attempts, I finally managed to destroy it.)

thumbnail — (Wasting too many fuel attempting to destroy the first two targets. At this point I was desperate to refuel the deposit...)

thumbnail — Not in time. Start over again.

thumbnail — Some acrobatics: flying above the overhead power lines.

thumbnail — Without noticing I crashed against a building... seconds later I couldn't stop recalling the tragedy of 9/11. I took the casual analogy to crease my position against religious fanaticism.

thumbnail — The images were carefully picked from the video recorded during the gameplay to illustrate that. The border turns red when the plane crashes or when a target is destroyed.

thumbnail — Beautiful landscape demonstrating <i>Vortex</i> mastered and was one of the pioneers of the "pseudo 3D" pixel art.

thumbnail — Another landscape highlighting its aesthetics.

thumbnail — A tough task to land. There has to be this minimum distance for safe landing, which is not that short, and the correct touch-down moment plus the right pressure into the ground.

thumbnail — The last 3 targets are not in sight.

thumbnail — Destroying a target (notice the border turning red).

thumbnail — - I wonder if I'm flying within the safe limits... (getting too close to urban areas)

thumbnail — - I wonder where's <i>Android 2</i>? (for curiosity, the trees in<i>Tornado</i> are the same used in the mentioned game of the same company)

thumbnail — A detail illustrating the layers of shadows.

thumbnail — - They shouldn't put those targets so close to urban areas...

thumbnail — - It's time for speed: wings are fully swept back and I'm positive some window glasses were broken during the recording of this video<br> (in fact it really happened with <i>Concorde</i>).

thumbnail — When you are not mastered in the skills of landing, there's this unfortunate possibility of overrunning the time limit even with all the necessary targets already destroyed.

thumbnail — Perfect landing with a tinny left-over of time. The mission was a success.

thumbnail — Second mission: searching for targets at high speed.

thumbnail — - Supersonic <i>Tornado</i> with wings fully swept back and its shadow... like... <i>Lucky Luke</i>!

thumbnail — Targets start to appear on water, increasing the difficulty of the game.

thumbnail — Here's an aquatic one.

thumbnail — - Delivering <i>Your Sinclair</i> magazines.<br> (A tribute to <i>Paperboy</i> and <i>Your Sinclair</i>)

thumbnail — Another acrobatics playing "seek and hide".
