Introduction
------------
Here you are, stuck in the sweltering Middle East desert,
manning the new untested Patriot missles, when all of a sudden this
madman unleashes the fury of his Scud missles at you. Worse yet,
enemy jets are now flying overhead dropping deadly bombs!
So you scramble into the gunner's position and begin firing
away at the intruders. It is up to you to protect civilization as
we know it today.
Sand Storm System Requirements
------------------------------
VGA graphics adapter and monitor
Microsoft compatible mouse
384k free RAM
Quick Start
-----------
There are three basic scenario types you will face in the
standard version of Sand Storm: SCUDS, JETS, and TOMAHAWKS. Before
each mission you will be briefed on what to expect. Reading the
briefs will help you adopt a strategy before each mission -- making
success more likely. After the briefing, you will see an
introduction sequence reminding you of what type of scenario is to
come; then the mission begins. After you complete a mission, you
will be given information regarding your performance. There are 20
missions in all.
SCUDS
-----
Move the cursor around the screen with the mouse. When you
wish to launch a Patriot to the current location, push the left
button. It couldn't be more simple! Remember, the Patriot will go
to the location of the crosshairs when you pushed the button. This
way, you can launch a Patriot, then seek out more targets while the
Patriot is on its way! Watch out for Conventional (White), Al
Hussein (Blue), and Chemical (Green) Scuds. In addition, enemy jets
will fly over. Try to hit the jets for extra points, but only worry
about the bomb that it may release. Th
