    Hydra © 1992 Atari Corp.

    Hydra is an aquatic racing adventure in which your goal is to deliver a series of treasures, weapons, and other cargo without getting toasted by enemy warriors or crashing into one of the many hazards along the river.

    Enemy thieves are trying to stealk the greatest treasures in Hydra. These are no ordinary museum pieces. Each of these valuable artifacts hides an important piece of the secret weapon needed to defeat the enemy. So the government issued you an experimental speed boat. You must use this powerful craft to navigate the treacherous rivers of Hydra and collect the treasures from the secret checkpoints before the enemy thieves get them first. If you succeed, you will be a very popular guy. Fail and you'll be all wet.

    TIPS AND TRICKS
    • Learn to recognize cargo as it float in the water. Otherwise, you will not get paid. Without money, you cannot strengthen your craft. That means you will probably be creamed by enemy missiles.
    • Get as much fuel as possible. Without it, you don't stand a chance.
    • Know when to fly, and when to stay low. There are a few things in life more frustrating than missing all the money bags because you are in the wrong place at the wrong time.
    • Shoot enemy craft whenever possible. The rewards are great.
