Anybody remember the Wings of Fury for Apple IIe computer?
« on: March 08, 2006, 05:53:29 PM »
I found a new version of the classic Apple IIe game "Wings of Fury" which was my first ever experience with a flight simulator.  A side scrolling game.  Some guy from the Netherlands has created a modern program that is designed to run on current Windows like Windows XP, and has some new graphics and sound effects, but as close to the orginal game as it can be as well for gameplay.  It also adds landing gear control and engine on/off as well.  Read the manual before playing since it won't be the same old 1989 game.

O hell yea. I played it - but on a IIGS. Came on 5 1/4 floppy - then the floopy disk went tits up and I couldnt play anymore. I loved strafing the guys on the ground and bombing. They got a port to PC for it?

OMG!!! I used to play this when I was a little kid, my grandmother had an old computer of some kind, this was on one of the big floppy disks (the kind that was actually floppy).

I'm SO downloading this!  Thanks a TON!

Wolfala, I posted a link to the website.  You can download it from there.

http://www.bytethebullet.tk/

This is the link again, though the first thing you will see is an addvertisment for the free website that it is hosted on, so click on through that.

The current build is version v0.7 beta.  Unfortunately I have looked into this some more and it turns out this is not the complete game yet.  There is no AI aircraft for one thing.  

I also have the occasional problem of not being able to get the airplane to take off.  I can start engine, I can turn in place to face the other way, but I cannot get the plane to move off the elevator and begin a takeoff run.  Then I play it in a window, and it works.  Go figure?

Actually, the Amiga version was the best one of the Wings of Fury games.  I am trying to get a DOS version to work, but I need a slowdown program.  The slowdown program utilities I have tried so far don't work.

What was the old IIe game where you had a gun turret and paratroopers jumped out of planes going overhead, and you had to kill them before they could land, jump on each others shoulders and blow up your gun?

I used to play that one for hours...
