Metal Hawk/Gameplay

Controls

 * Joystick: Use the analogue joystick to make Metal Hawk fly around the areas, fire shots at the air-based enemies and drop missiles on the ground and sea-based enemies. If it is hit by any air-based enemy or anti-aircraft missile, it will be sent spiralling into the ground but can still fire shots and drop missiles until its death.
 * Lever: Use the lever to make Metal Hawk ascend and descend in altitude. Its controls are "reversed", just like those of a real helicopter - pushing it up will cause it to descend in altitude and pushing it down will cause it to ascend in altitude. If you are using MAME to play this game (which you almost certainly will be unless you are a native inhabitant of the "Land of the Rising Sun"), you may want to change the "AD Stick Y 2 Reverse" option in the game's "Analogue Controls" menu to "Off".

Metal Hawk (メタルホーク)
The protagonist of the game. Sent on a mission to raid enemy territory and destroy military targets, it must score a certain amount of points in each area within a preset time limit in order to move on to the next area. It must also avoid contact with every air-based enemy and anti-aircraft missile fired by the ground and sea-based enemies - because if it does not, it will be sent spiralling into the ground (but can still fire shots and drop missiles until its death).
