Blue Dragon is a mildly entertaining plane shooter with simple controls and a reasonable looking graphic. The game defaults to a 600 x 400 window, so looks quite small on today’s monitors. If you want to increase the size of the window you will have to lower the resolution settings. I don’t particularly like windowed games, but found the game good enough to ignore the lack of a full screen mode. You can expand the window to full screen, but the actual game window remains at 600 x 400
You will use a combination of mouse buttons and keyboard keys to control this game. It’s quite hard until you’ve got the hang of the altitude controls. Basically to keep the plane in the air you have to press the left mouse button; to lose altitude you let go of the left mouse button. Take note, it’s very easy to crash.

Instructions
You take the role of a pilot in WWII codenamed 'Blue Dragon'. You have just returned home from a successful raid and have to cross enemy territory to get back to your ship and return home.
You can collect points by destroying enemy planes, tanks, boats and soldiers on your trip back to your ship. You can collect bonus points by landing your plane on the deck of your ship... which is harder than it sounds! If you overshoot or miss the ship you must eject or you will miss your ride home!
Controls:
Left Mouse Button- Increase Altitude (Let go to decrease)
Right Mouse Button - Shoot
Up/Down Arrow - Raise/Lower Landing Wheel
Enter - Eject From Plane
Space - Drop Bomb
With each level that goes by your minimum speed will increase, making targeting difficult.
Tips:
Landing - Slow the plane down as much as you can, you don't get bonus points for doing it quicker! If your minimum speed is above 4 bars you will be able to slow the plane down to a minimum of 4 bars once you are over your ship. To land successfully you must have a shallow descent and have your landing gear down! If you overshoot or can't be bothered to land press escape when you’re over or past your landing area.
Points - You get 50 points for a boat, 25 for a plane/tank and 10 points for a soldier. Soldiers can also die by getting hit from shrapnel from nearby explosions so keep an eye out for that!
