Falcon Patrol II is a computer game for the Commodore 64, written by Steve Lee and published by Virgin Games in 1984.

Summary

This video game was also released for the ZX Spectrum in 1985. It is the sequel to Falcon Patrol.

Falcon Patrol II is a shoot-'em-up situated in a landscape resembling Egypt or the Middle East. The player controls a jet fighter and has to destroy a set number of enemy helicopters in order to clear a level. The helicopters come in three forms:

Transport
an unarmed transport helicopter that lays missile turrets and radar interference devices on the ground.
Gunship
escorts the transport helicopters and shoots at your fighter.
Solo
a fast combat helicopter that goes right after your fighter.

The jet fighter has a finite supply of fuel and ammunition, but both can be replenished by landing on a landing pad.
