90s cave flyer games
This game genre was very popular in Finland and today I stumbled upon my favourite, Wings!
Does anyone else have experience about this genre?

I played Airwolf on my Atari ST! About 19 years ago... Woah! It's been a while. Should probably see if I could get the old horse fixed(Refuses to read any discs!).DaddyHoggy wrote:Airwolf on the C64

Phantoms of the Asteroid doesn't ring any bells. Was it C64 exclusive?
Looks a lot like Thrust. *namskis*spara wrote:Gravity Force on the Amiga 500. (I spent way too many hours playing it)

It wasn't in a cave, and it was in the 80's, but I got addicted to Harrier Attack on the Spectrum.

Re: 90s cave flyer games
Somehow Harier Attack made me think of Triplane Turmoil
Also not happening in caves, but the dogfigths were fierce. We used play these games for hours, four friends hunched over a single keyboard, shouting profanities and elbowing eachother...

Re: PotA for C64 only? quite possibly - it was an enormous game - fab sound - A Mastertronic special (therefore 2.99 rather than 1.99) .Thermonuklear wrote:I played Airwolf on my Atari ST!

Just found out that Assault Wing is still in development! If I remember correct, the original was published 1998.

Re: 90s cave flyer games
If you're on PC there's a great freeware Thrust remake called Thrust Xtreme
http://www.pixelprospector.com/thrust-xtreme/
doesn't properly support widescreen monitor resolutions so things look a bit stretched in widescreen but it's a lot of fun

Love the new avatar, Griff!
Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied
