Gunship: Gunships
built 218 days ago
Perhaps the best part of Gunship is it's astounding graphics. The detail of each object is not to the standards of Comanche vs. Hokum, but they are more than enough when coupled with the rich textures of the landscape around you. Though the trees themselves are nothing but a set of two sided polygons set up in an "X" fashion that's considered a dated technique by today’s standards, it's still nice to see the use of large areas of foliage to hide behind. And unless you bump right into the trees, you'll hardly even notice it.

Gunship starts with flight training at a base in the USA. Tutorials teach you to handle the copter; once the controls and flying skills are mastered, there are escalating challenges and hundreds of missions in any one of four regions of the world, including Southeast Asia, Central America, the Middle East, and the USSR and it's Warsaw Pact allies in Western Europe.

Obviously Gunship is only going to suit the sort of people who beat Elite while they're waiting for the kettle to boil for a cup of tea and eat Starglider for breakfast. However, persevere and the rewards are worth it. Totally compulsive and thunderin' good value!

Gunship depicts the Western world's finest attack helicopter: The AH-64A Apache. This simulation recreates the weapons, flight systems, and performance of the real machine. You control an arsenal that includes laser-guided Hellfire missles, a 30mm cannon controlled by helmet gunsights, clusters of bombardment rockets--even air-to-air missles for duels with enemy helicopters.

Shop at Amazon.com China is developing a helicopter gunship; the Z10, and recently released photos. Eight prototypes have been built so far. Despite the Western arms embargo on China since 1989 (because of the Tiananmen Square massacre), the Z10 is powered by a Canadian engine (two Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6C-67Cs). The Canadian firm says it sold the engines to China with the understanding that they were for a new civilian transport helicopter.
Samus's gunship in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. The gunship seen in Metroid Prime: Hunters is the exact same as the one seen in Prime. However, in Hunters, Samus can enter her ship and fly from planet to planet. A similar system was later used in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption.
