Title: Anybody remember the Wings of Fury for Apple IIe computer?
Post by: Weirdguy 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.

Post by: Weirdguy on March 09, 2006, 01:05:23 AM: 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?

Post by: Weirdguy on March 09, 2006, 02:27:18 PM: 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.

Post by: Seagoon on March 09, 2006, 03:14:08 PM: 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...

Post by: FiLtH on March 10, 2006, 02:45:42 PM: Oh..anyone remember The Castle of Dr. Creeps? It was a puzzle type game..Broderbund software I think. You had a guy that ran around throwing switches to turn off forxe fields, conveyor belts, got keys etc. Lotta fun. Another one I just thought of. Raid on Bungling Bay was great.

Post by: Weirdguy on March 15, 2006, 01:22:06 AM: Ghost FT, which software utilities did you use? I have had no luck with the ones I was trying to use to make the orignal amiga version work (I miss not having zeros to shoot down). It might help if you also mention where you got your Amiga version as well.

Post by: MrRiplEy[H] on March 15, 2006, 01:34:05 AM: Castle Wolfenstein I, Raid on bungeling bay and Commandos were the three all time favourites for me on C64.

On Amiga I played most on Red Storm Rising.
