I played this game on the Amiga when it first came out and loved it. The gameplay is story based and simple enough for anyone to manage. Even an absolute novice will still get many levels into the game but only the masters need apply to the deeper levels of the game...Mixing 1st person cockpit and 3rd person bombing runs, you fight your way through WW1 in a bi-plane. That darn GBA screen is the only drawback to this release. Hopefully, the screens will be bright enough to avoid the squint. If you like flight or want an action/adventure to keep you busy than get this game.

Lets hope its as good a the amiga version

Ahh the nostalgia -- I've been checking [web address] etc.. for the last couple of months for this game. It seems like I've only a couple more days to wait.

It will be interesting to see how the game has changed eg the multiplayer dogfights, different weather conditions , much better graphics etc. Unfortunatley looks like I'll as ever have to play it directly under my reading light in my reading chair. However saying that i;m delighted to see someone has had the sense to remake this classic game, it will definetly be on my shopping list when it comes out - I just have to persuade someone to buy another copy so I can check out the multi-player.

Also - some of you might be interested to see that cinemare are realeasing a "digitally remastered" (where have I heard that term before Mr Lucas) collectors addition of the old amiga game. I wonder will it be much like the GBA title or just improvement on the amiga version. who knows, check out that also at the cinemaware website.. thats another possible buy for me (I really am a slave to old amiga games :) )

Anyway from the screenshots and movies I've seem I'd recommend it.Hopefully Crawfish/Metro 3d/Cinemaware you wont let me down.

Its not the same missions as the original on the Amiga but its still alot of fun. And the enemy pilots are alot smarter too. I'd recommend this to anyone who likes aerial dogfighting games. One more thing u can choose which side you want to fight on, Allies or Germans!

Wings is one of the best games ever!!!

I've gotten into the Amiga version of this game like no other. I even bought the 1927 movie. Everyone who likes dogfighting should get this game!

Great conversion from Amiga

If you are looking for a fun WW1 aircraft simulator, this should keep you hooked for a while.

The original on the Amiga is very well carried over to the GBA. A number of improvements also - much better bombing and strafing missions which are harder and more controlable. The majority of the missions will be flying (the best type) and you can toggle views (thankfully) so you are not constricted by the default behind cockpit view. You can chose an allied or German campaign to play which is also a nice new feature.

Yes there could have been weather and lighting changes (but to be honest, it would make viewing the screen harder than it already is for this game)

A really good smooth flowing game keeping you interested in the ever developing (true) storyline.

Get hold of a copy of this great dogfighting/WW1 simulator.

Great WWI flight simulator

Wings is a great WWI dogfight game, and probably the only one for the Game Boy. It consists of two lengthy campaigns, one as a British pilot, and another as a German pilot. Each campaign consists of a series of missions (dogfighting, bombing, and strafing) tied together by a story- presented with movies and diary entries, which moves the game along and gives the game a great historical atmosphere.

The gameplay itself is very fun and addictive, with good graphics and easy to learn controls. Also, it's educational- I think I've learned more about WWI playing this game than I did in school! In any case, it's a pretty cool game. Apparently it's an adaption of an old computer game. Now what we really need is an Game Boy version of Sword of the Samurai or Pirates Gold!
