Wings of Fury on the Apple II

[TeamRocketReviews]

Holy crap, this looks amazing. Problem is, Apple II games need to be displayed on an original green screen monitor. It just looks wrong with colours.

Landing the plane in WoF... was akin to landing the plane on the NES version of "Top Gun"... lol

[hangarflying]

Ah, yes my brother, father, and I spent hours upon hours playing this game. I found an emulator on the net for this game.

[slknv88speed]

Thanks for the memories - my favorite game on my IIc. But I only had green and black screen, so its a little different in colour! Can I get this as a mame rom, I wonder?

[pauka13]

This was my favorite game on my old c 64...

[cobrachoppergirl]

This game rocked, I use to play it on a IIgs. This game and Tetris. Maybe Arkanoid, or a little Dark Castle. Landing on the Carrier was a bitch.

I played this on my Apple II GS when I was a kid. If you set the GS to fast then I would turn that Hellcat into a jet fighter. haha

[esathegreat]

Faster and uglier than c64 version

[walkerboh39]

I loved playing this game all day and all night - on my Apple IIe clone, a Franklin 500 - couldn't in 1985 afford a IIe. The coolest part was the camera zoom technology. One of the best games around at that time.

Oh my this is terrible!!! AMIGA RULES!!!

[porcorosso81]

@dagbli

Yeah, stick it to a computer made in 1977....

[KaceCooley]

I cannot find any place to download this for my mac! I loved this game!!!

[FS2004ACoF]

Now we have Il-2 1946.

[xyling]

I loved this game. I don't think I got any farther than sinking the aircraft carrier. Was there an end to this game?

[caesiume]

mac gaming hasn't progressed much since

[DubrowMark]

@caesiume This isn't a Mac. This is an Apple II. Same company but entirely different platforms.

[PhattyMo]

Holy EFF!!! I loved this game!!

OMG,I need an Apple again.

[dodomastercz]

Did anyone learn how to land this thing? I got it right about once or twice in hundred takes.

[JimmyWetpants]

Yeah, I finally found the trick for landing. It did take a while to figure out.

This game was awesome. I have fond memories of starting at Midshipman 1 and playing the whole day until I started looping the Captain levels over and over again. Fun times.

[Oakyoaklander]

who knows if / where this is downloadable for play?

[lennybruce8]

send me an email.

[acumar]

Holy Crap! I spent so many hours playing this thing. Gunning down the tiny soldiers was the best! plik!plik!Plik!

[Lachlant1984]

I remeber playing this when I was 13 back in 1997, yes, I mean 1997. I remember the background on the version I played was blue, because I was playing it on an Apple IIe with afaulty monitor.

[Morphicc]

I loved that game back when i was a tod, kinda hard though after a while.

[J2thaDee]

This is one of my favorite games of all time.

[dquock]

I remember playing this game a lot! Wow, what memories. I remember there was a glitch that let you get 30 of rockets or torpedoes. (Something about scrolling thru the list of weapons on the carrier and then suddenly reversing direction and clicking.)

[Apple2gs]

Definitely agree about the Apple II version being superior for gameplay (I've tried the Amiga and PC-Windows "enhanced" ports). Still one of my all-time favorite games, it was like a hybrid flight simulator and arcade game.

20 years ago I discovered a glitch in the Apple version that gets you unlimited planes (involves crashing your last plane on the deck of a sinking enemy ship).

Did you know an Apple IIGS WoF port almost came out from Matt Crysdale and Robin Kar (the Alien Mind guys!).

[Sinekyre14]

Check my amiga 500 version of this. MUCH better graphics, and im playing with a Xbox 360 controller ;)

[antdude]

I played it on my Apple //c. How far did you guys get on Captain level?

[beechnut400]

I couldn't agree more. This video brought back a flood of memories!
