landing is easy, on the carrier slam it down between the yellow bars and on the airport line up level and drop altitude with the throttle

I had this as a kid but don't think I ever played past the intro, I can't believe how much more complicated the 2nd level already is lol. Makes me want to play desert strike again too.

ok i thought libya night was going to be the same thing but no refuels, turns out it was way easier and i went straight for the two targets. i'm dreading the next night missions a lot less now.

Then cuba starts out with you launching into the line of fire of a boat that can shoot 2 missiles at once.

used up all my refuels on the day mission, sliced through the targets on the night mission. the missile auto-targeting is still super weird in the air-to-ground bits when i'm trying to shoot the target structure (go slow, even slower), but i'm getting the hang of it.

i finished korea night with 1 hp left and was hauling rear end with the afterburner back to base. cuba night was a cakewalk for just hitting the targets. gonna have to try the bonus level out later, i really hope it has refueling.

oh yeah my entire strategy has been run away from the migs and hope they don't catch me from a mile away. so much fuel and health gets saved that way.

mig fighting is the bit that feels the most like a proto ace combat and i enjoy it even though it's a hige fuel drain and feels constant

hell yea, lucked out and didn't get any migs going after me on this one. i went up and down the 3x3 blocks of targets and SAMs then spammed flares and chaff so none of the SAM boats could do anything about me running away. very good pick, i was expecting to fight more migs but the "just walk away" strat turned it into a stealth fighter game.

Dragging my rear end back to base with a plane full of holes, a tank that's almost empty and several migs on my tail is awful.

Select+B if you wanna try out the other missiles, Rockeye is a bit more manual but won't fire unless it buzzes, Paveway will let you do whatever but it's possible to miss because it follows the cursor. Somebody really good could probably shred through every target on afterburner with it but it limits dodging too much IMO. With so few opportunities to reset damage and it being all-or nothing this really plays more like a resource manager than anything.

What this game needs is for shooting the individual AA and SAMs in ground mode to chip 1-2 points of damage back

i saw that ability in the instruction manual, but by then i already got in the habit of flying low for mavericks and appreciate the fire-and-forget once that targeting square appears.

Game 3-8



McDonald's Treasure Land Adventure (Genesis) - 1993 - Deadline 2/21/24 11:59EST

Ronald McDonald finds an old map and decides to take on the adventure. But he's only got one piece. A trio of villains are holding the other pieces. And just waiting for Ronald to show up! - Ronald tosses sparkling Magic to win against the Baddies. A special Scarf helps him swing on hooks and climb to higher ledges. Mounds of exciting rounds! Ronald tangles with the Baddies who drop gold and power-ups! Two games in one! Collect enough gold and play a matching game to win balloons, gems and goodies!





Treasure Land Adventure was developed by Treasure, who were commissioned to design a McDonald's game after the company was deemed too unknown to receive a publishing contract to develop Genesis games. Treasure agreed to pay their dues with this game so that they could finish development of Gunstar Heroes simultaneously.
