- Dear Fellow Gamer,
-
- The Hind helicopter was first deployed in East Germany in
- 1973. Known as the "Bogeyman" by NATO forces, the Hind was
- dreaded for both its varied capabilities (heavily armed
- gunship & troop carrier, etc.) and awesome weapon power. I-
- Magic's Hind simulation will allow players to fly as either
- the pilot or gunner.
-
- The final game will allow network and modem play with
- Interactive Magic's 1995 hit Apache. In Hind, you will also
- be able to control your wingmen during missions as well as
- send messages to other players during network and modem
- play.
-
- DOS loading instructions: Run the self-extracting file
- hinddos.exe. Use the following command line: hinddos -d.
- Don't forget the -d ! Then type hinstall. The Hind demo
- will automatically load onto your hard drive.
-
- Windows 95 loading instructions: Run the self-extracting
- file hind95.exe. Use the following command line: hind95 -d.
- Don't foget the -d! Then type hsetup.
-
- Before playing the demo, go to the "preference" screen and
- set sound at full. This will turn on the Hind's early
- warning system know as "Natasha" (a female voice that warns
- you of incoming fire).
-
- In the demo, you can select either Arcade or Invincible.
- Invincible mode prevents you from crashing and provides you
- with unlimited ammunition. Please note that the demo has an
- automatic enemy target tracking system. When you are in the
- gunner's position, your view will scroll left and right to
- automatically find the next target. To turn this feature
- off (so that you can track the next enemy target), hit the S
- key.
-
- Have a great time and let us know how we can make even
- better games. Be on the look-out for 1M1A2 Abrams Tank &
- Air Warrior II later this year.
