'''''Wings''''' is a [[World War I]] flying game, originally released in 1990 for the [[Commodore Amiga]]. |
|||
''Wings'' features a mixture of [[gameplay]] styles including 3D [[dog fight]]s, top down [[bombing]] missions and scrolling [[strafing]] sections. It is arcade oriented, but featured the story narrative and atmospheric presentation that typified many of [[Cinemaware]]'s titles. The game is not based on any real aircraft, but roughly based on the performance of aeroplanes of the era. |
|||
'''''[[Wings 2: Aces High]]''''' is a [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] release based on Japanese title ''Sky Mission''. The Wings branding was only added to the game's US release, with the European version going under the name ''Blazing Skies''. The title was superficially similar to the original game, with dogfighting and bombing missions, but was presented in more of an arcade format whereby the player was sent back and forced to complete failed missions. In ''Wings'', by contrast, the narrative continues whether missions are passed or failed and even when the player pilot is killed the game continues with another. |
|||
'''''Wings Advance''''' is roughly the same game as the original, although it has been updated with improved graphics, new features, and increased gameplay options. The main difference is that the player can now opt to fly missions as a German pilot, experiencing the war from the opposite perspective. ''Wings Advance'' is available for the [[Game Boy Advance]] platform. |
|||
In the opening scene of another Cinemaware game, ''[[The Three Stooges (video game)|The Three Stooges]]'', the Stooges are walking past a [[billboard (advertising)|billboard]] which advertises the game ''Wings'' as "coming soon!" |
|||
The gameplay looks similar to the action sequences of the 1927 silent movie also called [[Wings (film)|Wings]]. The story shown before each mission is, however, different from the plot of the movie. |
