Tiger Mission

Tiger Mission is a vertically scrolling shooter for the Commodore 64, developed by Kele Line and published by Status Software in 1987, in which the player flies a helicopter over five levels, each ending at an enemy base. Attackers appear only on the ground and are normally dealt with by the standard cannon, while destroying ground boxes releases pickups, among them smart bombs that can be stockpiled and detonated to wipe out everything on screen. Speed boosts and extended weapon range are also dropped, but these are limited in time and take effect immediately on pickup. The player has three lives, and losing one restarts the current level from the beginning.
