DOS

Firehawk

Trivia

During installation, Firehawk gives you the option of either drawing or not drawing the backgrounds. On slower computers, not drawing the backgrounds can speed up gameplay quite a bit.

During gameplay and opening/closing credits, Firehawk features quite a few different songs. By selecting music at the title screen, you can listen to most of these songs.

Like all Game Arts games republished by Sierra, Thexder uses 640x200 graphics in EGA to its advantage by simulating 64 colors via dithering.

This game's title is annoyingly referred to by three different names in the same packaging and documentation:

• FireHawk
• Thexder II: Firehawk
• Fire Hawk: Thexder The Second Contact
