Pixelboy Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 I've never played it, but it looks cool. I vaguely recall something about someone making an Atari 2600 homebrew version... Or was it 5200... I forget... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 WoF was a great game, I had great fun with it back in the day. I couldn't believe the Apple II could display such great looking graphics. I never did beat the game, but I always had fun strafing the people on the ground, or going up against a huge battleship with rockets. The later missions were really tough. My only problem with the game was landing. I could never land the damn plane without crashing and burning at least once. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was released for the GB Color. FOr soem reason, I just couldn't get into it. This is a game that could be done for the 7800 and possibly for the 2600.

+remowilliams Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 WoF still rocks! I love this game and play it to this day. It's actually the first floppy in the 5.25 disk holder sitting next to my Apple IIc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayhem Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Yep, played it quite a bit on the C64. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Student Driver Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 It was released for the GB Color. FOr soem reason, I just couldn't get into it. Was the GBC port a bad one, or was this a case of just not being in the mood for WoF when you happened to try it? I didn't know there was a GBC port, and if it plays okay, I might hunt one down.

I think it was more of not being in the mood. I should pull it out and play it again. -Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 That artwork looks very familiar, I think the artist also did the artwork for some Threesixy Pacific games. It's a very unique style. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 The gameboy version is great, I play it all the time. Its usually on every gb-flash-multi-cart I program :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+remowilliams Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I didn't know a Gameboy version existed. I'm going to have to give it a try! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kondre Posted April 28, 2006 Author Share Posted April 28, 2006 Well, I am glad that I am not the only one who played it. I am still trying to get my Color Classic up and running, it will have the Apple//e card in it, so I should someday be able to play WoF once again, which would be nice. wouldnt it be real nice to have a version that ran on OSX natively though?

RARusk Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Along with "Shufflepuck Cafe", "Stunts", "Centauri Alliance", "Joan of Arc", "Wolfpack", and just about every Carmen SanDiego game in existence at that time I also gametested "Wings of Fury" (mainly on the C64 and Amiga). One little secret in the game is that you can fly "around the world" meaning that you can just go in one direction and end up back at the opposite end of the area. However, on some levels at least (as far as I can remember) there is a small platform you can sink if you fly out far enough. I discovered this on the C64 version and also found it in the Amiga version. I don't know about any other versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember letting the plane go and go and go, and i never did the "fly around the world", the plane would run out of fuel. I never came across any platform either. maybe i didnt do it on the right level. I'm no programer, but i cant imagine it would be difficult for someone to write up the game. Chopper is a re-make of choplifter and it runs on OSX. its simple, but very well done. something similar but based on WoF is what I would just love to see.

RARusk Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 I do believe that this platform appeared on the first level. I don't think I've ever played the Apple IIe version and therefore it may not be in it but it is definitely in the C64 and Amiga ones.
