Midway
Description
Midway is an arcade shoot-em-up set in world war II. You pilot an airplane from a squadron of three, and must take on the ships of the navy below. Your airplane moves at a fixed speed, and may only turn left or right. It can also travel off the screen, with the screen flipping to the new location. A never-ending stream of ships of various types appear from the North and slowly travel South. You can bomb the ships when immediately passing over them, and this will give you points and fuel to continue the attack. Dropping bombs that miss their targets will cost you points.
There are four different types of enemy. The aircraft carrier is the largest, easiest to hit, and worth the least. There are also battleships, armed with anti-aircraft weapons, smaller naval cruisers and submarines which periodically dive below the sea surface. You will lose a plane when hit by anti-aircarft fire, or when running out of fuel. The game is over once the entire squadron is defeated.
