Gameplay

Falcon Patrol II is a shoot-'em-up situated in a landscape resembling Egypt or the Middle East. The player controls a jet fighter and has to destroy a set number of enemy helicopters in order to clear a level. The helicopters come in three forms:

1. Transport: unarmed helicopter that lays missile turrets and radar interference devices on the ground
2. Gunship: escorts the transport helicopters and shoots at the fighter
3. Solo: fast combat helicopter that goes right after the fighter.

The jet fighter has a finite supply of fuel and ammunition, but both can be replenished by landing on a landing pad.
