The Red Baron has stolen food supplies from the Allied Forces! World War I flying ace Snoopy has taken it upon himself to get them back! With his trusty Sopwith Camel, which looks a lot like a doghouse, Snoopy will challenge the Red Baron in a battle for the skies. Somebody's going to get the treats, and somebody's going to go down in flames!
The object of the game is simple: Fly until you see the Red Baron, then shoot him down before he shoots you down. Once in a while the Baron will drop a treat from his plane. It could be a popsicle, a mug of root beer, or any other such goody. Grab these before they hit the ground for additional points. Watch out for bad treats, though. You don't want those!
The Sopwith Camel cannot fly above the clouds. If you see the Red Baron flying high, you will have to wait until he comes down again. You can lure him down by flying low over the mountains. Once he is within reach, engage quickly before he is tempted to take off again!
Every time you successfully shoot down the Red Baron, another plane is added to your tally. Every four "kills," a bonus is awarded based on the number of treats you have rescued. This bonus is diminished if you lose a Sopwith Camel, or catch a bad treat. Other bonuses can be earned as the game progresses, including the "Gold Baron," awarded after fifty victories over the Red Baron.
The game continues until you have lost all of Snoopy's Sopwith Camels. How many times can you defeat the Red Baron before then, and how many of the Allies' treats can you rescue from his clutches? Good luck!
