Introduction
------------
Now all the fun of the air in your own sitting room. All age groups like shooting the moving targets on the firing range and now you needn't wait for the air to arrive.

Thirty targets to shoot at (or avoid) including bonus. Clear a screen and there is a surprise awaiting you before moving on to the next set of targets. Written in machine code with super smooth scrolling graphics and sound. Joystick required.


Game Objective
--------------
You start game armed with 45 bullets with which to shoot 30 targets: Tin Man, Roller Ball, Rabbit, Duck and a "Bonus" target. In order to get the 5,000 bonus points, you must *not* shoot one of the bonus targets. If you do so, they will all change into ducks. You must then hit all of the ducks before they go off the screen. The ducks usually start at the top and revolve around three times before they disappear for good. If you do "lose" one of them, you will also lose five bullets.


Bonus Screen
------------
If you manage to clear a screen then Tommy Tank will appear going across the top of the screen. You need to hit one of his wheels and, if you succeed, the tank will turn round and move a little faster. This will continue until it reaches either the extreme left or right of the screen, when you will go back to the next screen of the main game.


Timer
-----
Each game is limited to eight minutes playing time.


Screen Layout
-------------
The top three high scores are shown at the top left of the screen. The current score is top right. The number of bullets remaining is shown right of the screen and the bonus is shown at the bottom left.

"Air"? Is this an auto-correct problem, or do the instructions really say that?

Meant to be "fair".
