Cinemaware has been really busy lately. After eight months of development, the remastered version of Wings is just about ready for release and is undergoing some bug fixing, which delayed it from the original release date of Sept. 30th. According to the Steam community page, it’s scheduled for release on October 17th. At the moment, Cinemaware has Wings: Remastered submitted to Steam Greenlight for voting. When Wings: Remastered is released, it will be available for PC and Mac. In the following weeks, the Android and iOS versions will be as well. (Read More)

I had never heard of Amiga classic Wings before doing a little research on its Remastered Edition, strangely enough, and although I feel like I missed out a little bit, I’ll be getting not only one but two chances to check this out in coming days. So will you, obviously, because not only has the release date for the original been given a ballpark timeframe, but we’ll be getting an Amiga emulation on iOS and Android. You can play the original when it’s finished on your mobile device in anticipation for the epic Remastered Edition from Cinemaware. (Read More)

Many of you reading this are probably not old enough to remember a certain Amiga classic called Wings, a hybrid arcade action/flight sim – featuring World War I dogfights – from the people over at Cinemaware. As with all of Cinemaware’s titles from back in the day – such as Defender of the Crown, Rocket Ranger, and It Came From the Desert - the game featured a heavy emphasis on cinematic presentation and storytelling. This amalgamation of gameplay, storytelling, and high production values led to Wings receiving many rave reviews back when it first launched an entire 23 whopping years ago. (Read More)

Fine anni ’80. I pad non esistevano, le console erano solo ad 8 bit, l’Amiga e l’Atari ST combattevano per emergere come migliore macchina da gioco. In quell’epoca remota e lontana c’erano un pugno di software house che facevano furore nel campo video-ludico lanciando titoli che ancora oggi sono annoverati tra i classici intramontabili. Se Psygnosis, Bitmap Brothers, Accolade vi dicono qualcosa, allora Cinemaware sicuramente ve la ricorderete. (Read More)
