This is the first of the Dark Unicorn Productions Title, This one is called Desert Apache, by John Graham in 1995
Your mission is to rescue 5 POWS, you then get to choose one of them on a map, then a Full FMV plays, and during this shows you a target you need to aim for, if you successfully aim for the target it is destroyed, and then you choose another target until all 5 POWS have been rescued thereby completing your mission
The game itself is a Full Motion Video (FMV) type affair, which plays various clips, over which you get control to shoot at what it tells you to aim for within a few seconds, If you successfully shoot it down, then Congratulations is in order, otherwise it is Game Over
On first loading, You are treated to a Radio Call while the Titles come in, then you press any key to the Menu, which has some backing music on there, in-game the FMV has sound effects which are very realistic, are well designed for the Amiga and play quite smoothly, There is a 1/4 Screen mode as well which would work better on lower end Amiga computers of course, but in reality you should not need to use that mode today of course
The FMV in this Game has 1/4 Screen Mode and Full Screen Mode, Both work fine on the Emulation side, and to run the Full Screen Version you may need a Real Amiga 1200 or Better since that has a faster CPU
