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

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

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?

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

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

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

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

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!).
