The game starts off quite easy, but with over 230 missions to fly Wings is going to keep even ace pilots entertained for many a happy hour.

Suddenly the First World War is becoming almost fashionable. Hard to imagine how spending four years up to your neck in mud, slogging it out with an equally tired, cold and frightened enemy could ever be regarded as fashionable. Then again some people go to Ibiza on holiday. Whatever the reason there are more than a couple of games set in the killing years of 1914/18 in the offing.

Not for you the slime and ignominy of the trenches, ratburgers for tea and mustard gas for cologne. Nope, you're an Allied fighter pilot, a glamour puss outfitted with a silk scarf and designer leather jacket. Your life expectancy may not be more than a few days, but you look good and that's all that matters.

ACE (Advanced Computer Entertainment)
For all its shortcomings, Wings is fun to play and fairly varied. If you want a flying game (and not a flight sim) where you can see the white of the enemies' eyes, then Wings is for you.

Cinemaware ist wieder da. Nach dem Sportspektakel "TV-Sports Basketball" und dem Insektendrama "It came from the Desert" gehen die Programmierer von Cinemaware mit "Wings" in die Luft. Ihr spielt in Wings einen amerikanischen Piloten im ersten Weltkrieg. Anno 1916 ist die Fliegerwelt noch in Ordnung und wird von ritterlichen Tugenden geführt. Treffen sich feindliche Piloten am Himmel, winkt man sich erst freundlich zu und bringt sich dann um. Das gegenseitige Abmurksen am Himmel wird nicht durch elektronischen Firlefanz beeinträchtigt: Kein Radar, keine Lenkraketen und keine modernen Abwehrsysteme stören das klassiche Duell am französischen Himmel.

Tollkühne Kampfflieger haben zur Zeit Hochsaison: Wem die Kisten in „Their finest Hour“ immer noch zu mondän waren, der kann jetzt dank Cinemaware in einem Doppeldecker den Luftraum des Weltkriegs I unsicher machen. Unser Auslandskorrespondent Timothy Kansas hat buchstäblich Himmel und Hölle in Bewegung gesetzt, um topexclusiv ein erstes Testmuster für Euch an Land zu ziehen!
