How does Alien Brigade differ from Operation Wolf?...

Or does it? And while I'm at it, are Super Huey and F-18 worth more shooters or flight sims? Thanks for all your good advice everyone! I'd have to say that this is the most polite video gaming forum I've ever been on.

Can't say much for Alien Brigade as I've never played it... don't have the game... and don't have the gun.

 

As for Super Huey, I'd say it's more of a shooter. After all, it's rather hard to get away from that "just a shooter" feel given the Atari 7800 Prolines. Two buttons just can't yield you all the options you would need on a serious flight-sim, but it can make for a nice control for a shooter game. While there is a sim mode on Super Huey, it's very limited, and tough to master because of the simplicity of the controls. So I find the arcade mode to be a more satisfying and enjoyable mode of play.

It's not really that different from Operation Wolf. I haven't been able to get past the first level *OR* get it to work with my XE lightgun though (I'm using a Cuttle Cart 2.)

Well, if you want to keep thinking that, avoid the Politics and Religion forum!

You can play Alien Brigade with a joystick, by the way.

 

I like AB better than OW... but I'm a 7800 loyalist. I like the alien aspect to it.

 

By the way man, check out my reviews on every 7800 game. It might help answer some questions for ya.

Gameplay-wise, both are pretty similar: Shoot the bad guys, avoid the innocent people. Story-wise, they're very different, of course. I prefer OW, I like the more realistic aspect of it. That's not to say that either game is very realistic (one shot and you'd be dead in real life, obviously), but I can see invading enemy territory more than aliens possessing soldiers.
