About this game

Falcon Patrol 2 is a two-way side-scrolling arcade shooter released in 1984. Players control a jet defending against varied enemy forces, with a radar display showing enemy positions and landing platforms.

Landing platforms allow the jet to be refueled and re-armed. The aircraft can also fire diagonally downward, while enemies include direct-attacking helicopters, support helicopters that deploy anti-aircraft guns, and radar jammers.

The game features 15 difficulty levels. Progression to the next level comes after destroying a required number of helicopters. It was developed by Steve Lee and published by Virgin Games Ltd for Commodore C64/128/MAX and Sinclair ZX Spectrum.
