GR9 Strike Force
Platform: Commodore 64
Gametype: Undefined
_________________________

Pilot briefing: take control of your GR9 harrier jet and navigate through the terrorist occupied territory. Your task is to clear the way for ground forces by destroying as many of their land and air defences as possible. The GR9 Harrier can be controlled with a joystick connected to port 2 and the run stop key will pause the assault at any point when the player is in control of the plane. Pressing the Q key from pause mode will abort the current mission.

Trivia

GR9 Strike Force was developed for the Retro Reunited event (12th to 13th September 2009) in Huddersfield, U.K. and stars the lucky winner of a door prize at the event, who was given a silly hat to wear before being photographed, converted and inserted into the game (and "loading" picture) live at the event by T.M.R!

As the game currently stands, it would have made a great budget title back in the day. In fact, some of the graphics within the game remind me of the Codemasters title, SAS Combat Simulator. All in all a fun shoot-em-up to play and worthy of a blast or two.
