Wings! Remastered Edition

86 / 100 Cinemaware games back on the Amiga had a certain magic about them. When you clicked the disk into the drive and started to load you instantly knew you were in for something special. Wings was one of the real standouts, at the time, it was one-of-a-kind and interestingly I can still say the same 25 years later! WWI games continue to be rare. A valid argument against Wings is that the gameplay is too simple,...

If you're a fan of the original WINGS game, you'll love this. This is the game I bought an Amiga to play, and seeing that it had been released on Steam in a remastered format meant I had to buy it.

The audio is adequate, and the controls are fine. I've been...
