Wings 2: Aces High is a World War I flight simulation game for the Super Nintendo (SNES), released by Namco in 1992. As a spiritual successor to the Amiga classic Wings, it puts you in the cockpit of a biplane to fly dangerous combat missions over war-torn Europe. You’ll engage in tense dogfights, drop bombs on enemy targets, and strafe ground forces as you guide your squadron to victory.
How to Play
The game features dogfighting, bombing, and strafing missions, each with its own perspective and objective. For SNES controls, use the D-pad to pitch and roll your aircraft. Press the B button to fire your machine guns and the Y button to drop bombs during bombing runs. Managing your speed and altitude is critical, especially when trying to outmaneuver enemy planes or line up the perfect attack.
Tips
- In dogfights, don’t just hold down the fire button; short, controlled bursts are more accurate and prevent your guns from overheating.
- During bombing missions, watch your altitude carefullyโdiving too steeply makes it hard to pull up in time.
- Pay attention to your squadron’s stats. Different pilots have varying skill levels, and keeping your veterans alive makes later missions much easier.
