Hunter Patrol annotated Henry Beam Piper

Hunter Patrol is a shoot 'em up written by Steve Lee for the Commodore 64 and published by Mastertronic in 1985. The music was composed by Rob Hubbard. The game is similar in style to the Sega arcade game Buck Rogers: Planet of Zoom. Taking control of a WW2 airplane, the player attacks enemy installations on the ground whilst avoiding enemy planes and flak.
