Playing it now...... gameplay is spot on, same as on Amiga and the game looks gorgeous in-game. Quality remake, Cinemaware didn't dissapoint.:happytrollboy:



230 missions in a story driven campaign...... they don't mak'em anymore like they used to.:salute:

Although I have never played it, I would love Cinemaware to do a modern remake of "It came from the desert" . That would give me an opportunity to play that.

Makabb, is it true that the remake is much easier than the original?

Nope, there are difficulty levels, i'm playing it on medium which was auto-set and it feels like the classic. I was already forced down in my first 20 missions which never happened on amiga version.

It's a cheap remake. Might sound wierd as I do admit that the gameplay is pretty much spot on. Where it fails is in the visual department. Wings was partly such a success due to the great artstyle. Remake copies some of it but unfortunately all in the cheap 3d instead of the awesome comic art style there was before. Missed opportunity as far as I'm concerned.

Well the gameplay and music is great, you gotta give credit for that music remake, sounds awesome. The art could've have been better but still is good. I'd give a soild 8/10 for this remake.
