Crossfire

Arcade game based on the CBS television series starring Jan Michael-Vincent and Ernest Borgnine as a pair of mercenaries who flew a high-tech military helicopter on various and sundry missions. This is a pretty cool hybrid shooter/action game. It combines a vertical shooter with a vertical scrolling action game, picture a mix of Tiger Heli and Commando and you have an idea of what this game is like. You start out by selecting one of three different missions to tackle (there are 6 in all), then you'll proceed to where you can buy upgrades. You can buy weapons, bombs, and armor for your helicopter, or weapons and extra lives for your soldier. Each mission will award you a different amount of money.
