I find it funny that at the start during the opening sequence it says game over when you haven't even started yet. All of David Rushall's games are freeware and were never released commercially. I don't exactly know why and you can't read his distribution allowance message on WOS because it is broken beyond repair, thank you Lee Fogarty, but it's either he couldn't find a publisher or he wrote them for his own personal enjoyment. The latter is most likely as there are three of these Hunter games and eight in total, one is MIA on WOS but is available on the excellent Spectrum Computing website. If it is the former however I can see why because this is not very good. The game is seemingly in three parts, first you must fly your helicopter named HUNTER and shoot the other helicopter through the gap in the wall. It's a bit basic but too many times I was shot when I clearly shot them first and I'm certain they went through my bullets a few times too. Part two sees us flying over the North Sea and shooting the enemy, but here the flying seems nonexistent, because I can go down but then cannot seem to move up, it's as if I have to keep my HUNTER high in the air constantly whilst shooting the enemies, so if I can only shoot enemies on one part of the screen what is the point? And part three is, well I never got that far so I don't care to type about it. I've seen and played worse but it's not a great game at all. The intro was the best part, says it all really, and there's two more Hunter games to do as well, why do I do this to myself?
