Wings Of Fury

Those of you old enough will know Wings Of Fury as a classic game which first appeared ages ago on platforms as old as the Commodore 64 and beyond! Well, it's true what people say - the old ones are still the best!

This plane warfare sim is far from a perfect conversion but it's still intense fun to fly your plane out over the islands to battle the dastardly enemy. Best of all, in the heat of the battle, the camera still pulls back when you head for the clouds to give you a distant view of the action!

When the camera is in close the animation on the plane is truly top notch. If you played this as a kid, you're probably already at the shops buying it now but if not, give Wings Of Fury a chance - you just might like it!

Quick Tip

Wings Of Fury

It's better to fly over your targets first then go back and bomb them. If you try to hit them the first time round, odds are you might miss them and conserving ammo is essential...
