Yep the game is MEGA fun as back in the day. The gameplay feels same as on Amiga in a good way.


There are 230 missions in the single player campaign over the course of the war with a story that is presented via journal..... now THAT is how you make a single player game !

You are advertising another WW1 game (Arcade though) in the WOFF forum, and while you do that you are bragging that THAT is how you make a single player game? Now this is what I call good manners. Good luck.

The story telling via journal looks well done from what I saw when viewing a longer youtube showing game play.

I'd never heard of this old retro game before this thread was posted.

Amiga Wings was the game which, me included, infected many people with the WW1 aviation virus in those early days pilot

Well, I bought it. And played 1.5 hours straight til my first pilot's demise with 43 kills.

Arcady, certainly. But the story's actually pretty good, what I saw of it.

I love the bombing missions, can't wait for war late stuff where you hunt submarines.

Bought it, I had almost forgotten what a fun arcade game it is!! Loving it, even if it's so simple to play. Back in the days they knew what to do when graphics couldn´t embellish empty games.

I've bought it..and it's true to the original...my only gripe is that the Joystick input is crap...been onto the devs, and they're looking into it. I have a Saitek Cyborg 3d for such sims/games..and it works with everything except this frown
