Jet Fighter

In the Jet Fighter game two delta-winged fighters - one white plane and one black plane fly across the TV screen, each plane trying to hit the other with its shells. Jet Fighter can be played
by either one or two players: with one player the white plane is piloted by the player and the black plane by the game’s internal computer, and with two players each plane is piloted by a player. The
player controls his plane’s speed and direction by moving his front panel joystick lever, and fires a shell by depressing a push button on top of that lever. The player’s objective is to fire as
many shells as possible into the opponent’s plane, while at the same time manoeuvring his own plane to avoid shells fired by the opponent. After coin deposit the duel begins when a start button is depressed. A plane can fire only one shell at a time and the shell explodes when it hits the opponent’s plane, or when it has travelled over a distance equal to about three-fourths of the width of the playfield. If a player’s shell hits the opponent’s plane, that plane explodes and spins around very rapidly. After a few seconds the hit plane recover and flies off in some randomly chosen direction, and the duel resumes.
