Tommy's Air Raid
Tommy's Air Raid is a single player, shareware, arcade style game with text graphics.
In this game enemy bombers fly across the screen from left to right. The player controls a series of forty, yes, forty, turrets spaced across the bottom of the screen. A turret is selected by scrolling left/right with the arrow keys, the up arrow is pressed to make the turret come out of its subway bunker, fire, and hide again if necessary. There are also keys to raise/lower all weapons simultaneously and to adjust the height at which the player's missiles explode.
The game ends when all turrets are destroyed or when the player's active turret is destroyed, whichever comes first.
The game is controlled entirely with the keyboard. It has nine difficulty levels, basic sound effects, and command line switches to start the game with the sound off and to force a color or monochrome screen.
Tommy's Airshark
Tommy's Airshark is a single player, shareware, vertical scrolling helicopter game made with character graphics.
The objective is to fly over enemy territory and destroy as many tanks firing SAM missiles as possible. The SAM missiles are aimed at the player's helicopter, but can be avoided by continuously changing course, speed and altitude. The helicopter can withstand three direct hits, after which the player has a 50/50 chance of surviving subsequent hits.
The game is controlled entirely with the keyboard and, as in most Tommy games, extensive use is made of the function keys. F9, for example, fires the missiles, while F3/F4 adjust the difficulty level. Other function keys change the size of the play area, adjust the aiming arrows, etc.
Basic sound effects and command line switches are available to start the game with sound off and to force color or monochrome display.
Tommy's Chariots
Tommy's Chariots is a shareware chariot racing game using character graphics.
There is a nice optional start of the game with a humorous invocation of the priests, in text, and then the race begins. The player has to take his character, pun intended, around the stadium eight times in each race. During that race, the other headsets will obstruct and collide with his chariot. The cart is controlled with the four arrow keys; the more they are pressed in any direction, the faster the cart will go.
A documented, though unobserved, feature is that chariots can break, in which case, in true gladiatorial tradition, the player can jump to another chariot and fight for control.
The game is controlled entirely with the keyboard. It has nine difficulty levels, basic sound effects, and command line switches to start the game with the sound off and to force a color or monochrome screen.
