Plane hijacking game, 1982

BandaiairportpanicDuring the 80's, Bandai released their solar-powered answer to Nintendo's Game&Watch: the LCD Solarpower series. One of their most interesting games is called Airport Panic. The player had two missions: boarding the plane while avoiding the bombs of the hijacker. And then, according to the English manual, "shoot at the hijacker and rescue the stewardess and the passengers".

FotoThanks to chococat, both the English and Japanese manual scans are available online, as well as a PC simulation of the game. If you play the game, make sure you extract the zip file with full path (and use SPACE to start and arrow keys to move around).
