COMBAT SCHOOL
 Ocean 1987
 CONTROLS : Keyboard, Cursor, Kempston
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
 AIM : You are a raw recruit entering the US Marines' famed Combat
 School. Can you survive the gruelling tests of endurance and enter the
 Marine Corps?

 GAMEPLAY : Combat School is rather like a military version of Daley
 Thompson's Decathlon! There are seven different tests for you to
 undergo:
 
 1. ASSAULT COURSE - walls of different heights and an "arm walk". A
 meter at the bottom of the screen shows the muscular power you're
 generating.
 2. FIRING RANGE - hit at least 38 targets to qualify.
 3. "IRON MAN" RACE - run through rough country strewn with boulders,
 water hazards and bridges; then swim across a fast-flowing river full
 of logs.
 4. FIRING RANGE - hit 95 robot tanks to qualify.
 5. ARM WRESTLING - a man-to-man contest of bicep supremacy.
 6. FIRING RANGE - hit lots of targets and avoid hitting red ones.
 7. UNARMED COMBAT - take on your instructor!

  Failing any of these events (apart from number 5) means you have to
 do a physical penance - which means chin-ups! Once you have completed
 all the events, you must attempt a full mission, to rescue a hostage
 from an American embassy.

 COMMENTS : "A hugely addictive challenge of speed, strength and
 coordination that looks and sounds good too."
 RATING : 93% (CRASH #48, January 1988)

 NOW : Although it's a bit short, this is still a satisfying game.
