→Helicopter Flight
The two helicopters do not collide, but automatically pass each other on different flight patterns.
====Continuing Play====
At the beginning of a Rescue game, six wounded soldiers appear in the field. After all six soldiers are picked up, six more appear in the field.
If you are playing a Rescue game only, this pattern continues until one player earns 4077 points and wins the game.
If you are playing a Rescue game combined with a Surgery game, the Surgery game option begins when a total of 18 soldiers have been picked up. '''Note:''' Following the Surgery segment of the game, the Rescue game begins again and both players start from their landing pads with empty helicopters.
====Tank Fire or Cease Fire====
You can play the M*A*S*H Rescue game either with Tank Fire or during a Cease Fire.
====Cease Fire====
During Cease Fire, the tank moves left and right across the bottom of the screen, but does not fire.
====Tank Fire====
You can increase the difficulty of the Rescue game by selecting the Tank Fire option. The tank moves left and right across the bottom of the screen and fires upward toward the helicopters. If the tank shoots your helicopter, you lose the points for all rescued soldiers aboard and are automatically returned to the landing pad. Note: The tank chases the helicopter with the higher score.
===Playing the Surgery Game Option===
To win when playing the Surgery Game option in M*A*S*H, you must use your operating skills to remove shrapnel successfully and score more points than your opponent.
====Operating Successfully====
# Move your scalpel next to the shrapnel.
# Move the tip of the scalpel forward or backward until the scalpel is ''attached'' to the shrapnel.
# Move the shrapnel carefully through the maze toward one of the exits.
# When you reach an exit,
** You hear a tone indicating the operation is complete
** The patient smiles
** You receive the points for your successful operation
** The scalpel returns to its starting place
** Another piece of shrapnel appears in a different area of the body
# Try as many ''operations'' as possible in the time remaining.
====Operating Unsuccessfully====
If you touch any part of the body,
• You hear a tone indicating an
unsuccessful attempt
• The patient frowns
• Your opponent receives the points for
that operation
• The scalpel returns to its starting place
Note: You can try again if you have
time remaining on the time clock.
