Wings Advance, that has been entirely developed in house, is another confirmation that Raylight is able to create good games for the GameBoy Advance.

Raylight is always looking for new publishers and developing opportunities for the GBA, GameCube and now also for the newcoming Nokia N-Gage.

Thanks for your time and attenction

Whoa! looks cool!

But if it's out in the US is it released online yet?

 

[Squiffy]

Hmmmm.... maybe they are lying about it being out but I'll keep checking anyway...
Can't miss out on a game like that!

Reviews for Wings have been poor so far

 

[Alexander]

IGN 7.5 out of 10
Game Zone 8 out of 10
Gamers Pulse 45 out of 50

not so poor IMHO

is this game 3D or is that an intro??

If you want to see it for real, get the original.

It came originally form the Amiga, so get the Amiga emulator
'WinUAE' (other ports for
e.g. Linux are also available) and get the game 'Wings' from
one of the many sites on the Internet ( can't help here)
search for 'wings.adf' or 'wings amiga' ...

For the Emu you need also the kickrom, for which you have to search,
too.

But its not so hard to find it and there are many hot games for that
System, and you get the most of them at the Back to the Roots Site
totally legal (but there you can't find Wings)!

Have fun with one of the best computers in history.

hear hear

Wings was one of the few Amiga games I actually bought - a classic in my view. Cinemaware did some great things with the Amiga with games like "It Came from the Desert" parts 1 & 2 - I also loved TV Sports Basketball which was the best bball sim before EA arrived with Lakers vs Celtics (and its endless iterations) on the good old Megadrive.

ahh the memories

but this version looks good - to answer the question above, I recall the game involved 3d dogfighting (the best part) with some isometric strafing style missions.

If anyone wants this game legally, just go to
www.cinemaware.com and check the Vault.
