Wings of Fury
WWII shoot'em up game for Commodore 64, 1990
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wings of Fury is an action game with some minor simulation aspects, in which
you are the pilot of an American F6F Hellcat plane. The setting of the game
is the Pacific during World War II.
It is your job to defeat the Japanese by destroying enemy bunkers, machine gun
nests and barracks on a series of islands. Barracks and gun nests can be
bombarded with regular bombs, while you'll have to use rockets to take out
the concrete bunkers. After a successful bombing run, return to mow down the
Japanese soldiers with your machine guns. You also have to sink Japanese
battleships with torpedoes and engage in dogfights with enemy fighter
planes.
You start each mission by taking off from an aircraft carrier, which you'll
have to protect from assaults by Japanese torpedo planes. Whenever you run
out of fuel, bombs, rockets or machine gun ammo you can replenish those by
returning to your carrier. Your carrier is also the place to repair damage to
your plane.
