Armor Alley is a combination computer wargame and horizontally scrolling shooter for MS-DOS and Mac OS published by Three-Sixty Pacific in 1991.
The player controls a helicopter armed with a limited number of munitions, such as missiles, bombs, machine guns, and napalm.
Only the van, which contains electronic warfare equipment, can achieve victory by coming into contact with the enemy base.
The helicopter is very vulnerable to enemy fire and so relies on its agility and the player's control to survive on the battlefield.
[citation needed] War funds slowly trickle into a spending account that allows purchase of units.
Extra lives may be purchased by buying more helicopters [2] The game was reviewed in 1991 in Dragon #166 by Hartley, Patricia, and Kirk Lesser in "The Role of Computers" column.
