Thunderbirds (1988)/Gameplay

Controls

 * O, K, Z and X: Use these keys to make your currently-selected character climb up and enter elevators, climb down and drop objects, walk left, and walk right; you may also press 1 and 2 to highlight your currently-selected character's objects, Enter to use the currently-highlighted object, Space to switch from one character to the other, and H to name the objects your currently-selected character possesses. If you wish to abort the mission, you may do it by pressing both Shift and Q together - however, you should only do it if you do not have a chance of winning.

International Rescue Agents
The protagonists of the game; on Mission 1 ("Mine Menace"), the two agents you control are Alan Tracy (the pilot of Thunderbird 3), and "Brains" (the Tracys' engineer, real name Hiram K. Hackenbacker), while on Mission 2 ("Sub Crash"), they are Gordon Tracy (the pilot of Thunderbird 4) and Alan Tracy again. On Mission 3 ("Bank Job"), they are Lady Penelope Creighton-Ward (IR's British agent), and Aloysius Parker (her ex-safe-cracker of a butler) - and finally, on Mission 4 ("Evil Hood") they are Scott Tracy (pilot of Thunderbird 1) and Virgil Tracy (pilot of Thunderbird 2). To assist them in completing their missions before the timer for each one (which starts at 99) runs out (at which point the mission will automatically be aborted), they can select four objects from a choice of six at the start of each mission (both agents carry two); it is up to the player to decide which objects are best for the mission and which agent should take them. Other objects shall also get found while on the missions, and can get used by themselves or in conjunction with another object - and it is also worth noting that whenever one of the agents drops an object, it can get picked up and used again by the other one.
