Battle Wings (バトルウィング)

by raoulduke. Comment: "(Found on the British Channel Islands in the 80s. Haven't ever seen it since then, often wonder if it was a wonderful dream...) Graphics were nice top-down vertically-scrolling space/airplane shooter with some layering/parallax effects. Gameplay blew me away because it was the first time I'd seen something where you could only have one power up at a time, you had to jettison the current one before you could pick up a different one. Each section of the scrolling map and the enemies there were of course vulnerable in varying degrees to the possible special powers. " 2003-12-16 19:10:53Z
