BreakThru

Data East's BreakThru for Amiga computers.

(Version 1.1)

Your Mission: To retrieve the PK430 secret fighter plane stolen from your country and fly it back. There is no time to weigh our options, you must drive deep into enemy territory to recover the PK430 using the military’s most advanced land vehicle, capable of leaping high into the air at the push of a button. This is a one-way trip pilot, you’re coming back home in that fighter jet, or not at all.

Gameplay: Breakthru is a horizontal shoot 'em up where the player controls an armed vehicle, with the first button shooting the main gun while the second button is used for jumping. During levels the player must face off against enemy soldiers, turrets and vehicles, as well as various obstacles along the way. The player can run over drums and crates, while other obstacles will cause the player to lose a life, so you must either avoid or jump over them. 

Keep a look out for powerups that give access to a powerful three-way gun, but time will be limited and you must jump high to obtain them, else they will be captured by the enemy.

Score extra lives on 20k, 40k, 60k, 80k and 100k
