===== Description =====

You wake up one morning, bright and early, to the sound of the public address system: "... Have the captain of Kalibur report to the base commander's office. Repeat. We're on red alert, all men to stations." Could the captain of Kalibur report immediately to the base commander's office?

In five minutes, he will be dressed and standing at the base commander's desk, facing the President of the United States. "As you know," the President begins, "war was declared a year ago and both sides are
aware of the consequences of pressing the button, so they will use any other way to erase each other".

"It was on the cards that they would make a move against our biggest prey, as the havoc it would cause, if it were to break, would be great enough for them to invade without any resistance."

"Well, it happened. They've dropped most of their air force and hundreds of remote-controlled underwater drones on the dam, and their ship is the only one we have in the area."

"I hope you realize the danger of the situation and that, by being chosen for this mission, you are destined to be among America's greatest heroes...Buzz Aldrin, J.F. Kennedy, Kermit the frog..."

"Your orders are to advance towards the dam at full speed and defend it until help arrives. This mission is not impossible!"

You leave the office and go to yours. You activate the Vidi display and the Tac computer and begin transmitting orders to your Kalibur ship, the fate of America and the free world resting heavily on your shoulders.

Using Z and X to move your ship, you must try to destroy kamikaze submarines and bomb-dropping planes. To launch a missile, press RETURN, while the number keys will release a depth charge. The higher the number, the deeper it will go before detonating. If the dam is breached or the ship is bombed, the game ends and your score will be compared to the top 10.

Dam Defender is a game based on the famous Pearl Harbor war. Our mission is to destroy all enemy aircraft and submarines that try to sink our ship.

To attack our enemy we will have air missiles to attack the aircraft that do not stop launching missiles at us to sink our fleet and anti-submarine bombs since they pass the information to their aircraft so that they can locate us and sink us.

We will add points for each plane or submarine that we destroy and our record with the best score will always appear at the top of the screen.
