Hover Force

Hover Force, developed by Realtime Associates and Mattel Electronics for the Intellivision game console

Is a pulse-pounding action game where players take control of the powerful JAF-3000 combat helicopter. In this single-player mission, you must defend the island city of New Seeburg from a wave of terrorist forces who have overrun the area with heavily armed helicopters. The civilians have been safely evacuated, but the enemy is causing widespread destruction, leaving you as the city’s last hope.

Armed with advanced laser cannons and water cannons, your mission is twofold: destroy enemy helicopters and extinguish raging fires across the city. But be warned—this is no simple arcade game. You must be tactical in your approach, as your helicopter can sustain damage to its engine, navigation systems, cannons, and radar from enemy fire. Your progress is tracked on a radar screen, showing the destruction caused by terrorists, the fires you’ve extinguished, and the enemies you’ve taken down.

With only two opportunities to return to Force Island for repairs and refueling per mission (and one final chance after defeating the enemies), resource management and precision flying are key. Each mission becomes progressively harder, as you face off against over 20 different types of enemy helicopters, each with unique flight patterns and difficulty levels.

Key Features:

Tactical Combat: Use laser cannons to blast enemy helicopters and water cannons to extinguish fires, all while carefully navigating the skies to avoid damaging the city.

Advanced Enemy AI: Battle over 20 types of enemy helicopters with varying skills and flight patterns, requiring both strategy and fast reflexes.

Radar System: Monitor your radar to track enemy movements, fires, and mission progress, ensuring you're always one step ahead of the terrorists.

Resource Management: Return to base only twice per mission for repairs and refueling—strategize when to go back to base for optimal survival.

High-Stakes Action: No extra lives here—if your helicopter crashes, the mission is over. This adds an intense level of realism and pressure to each mission.

Progressive Difficulty: Fly increasingly challenging missions as you push through multiple waves of terrorist forces in a bid to save the city.

Hover Force is a thrilling blend of action, strategy, and air combat, giving players a challenging yet rewarding gameplay experience. Your mission is not only to take down enemy helicopters but to save the city of New Seeburg from utter destruction—every decision counts, and one wrong move could spell the end of your mission.

Whether you’re a fan of helicopter simulators or love action-packed strategy games, Hover Force offers a unique, high-stakes experience on the Intellivision console, making it a must-play for retro gaming enthusiasts.
