Let's play Wings Of Fury! 1987 Apple IIGS gold. Commander rank loss. No cheat codes possible...

You’re not really playing WoF until you’ve killed a soldier by dropping a torpedo on them. :D Seriously though, good playing but get a joystick! The game is SO much easier with one. There are also some techniques you can use to speed things up when you get confident, like torpedoing the ships before taking out their guns. It does take some fine timing though!

@@janetsbrick oh my gosh I haven’t dropped a torpedo on a soldier in 30 years lol. I’ve not been able to figure out the ammunition hack that allows you to have 15 or 30 torpedoes. And I do have a joystick! But the game doesn’t work properly with it. I’ve been using my PlayStation 4 controller and it just doesn’t work right. The software doesn’t work properly with it and I even found a Reddit forum where someone showed me how to use a software that allows you to calibrate your controller and that didn’t work either. Another buddy of mine showed me a piece of hardware you can buy that you can plug the old Apple IIGS joystick into and then plug that into your modern PC. And I’ve tried torpedoing they ship before taking out its guns and it just shot my torpedo in the water several times. I guess I have to work on that fine timing! Glad you’re enjoying my video of this classic old game from 1987.

@@RobertColburn-o9p I hope my dismay was palpable when I sat down to a screen at the high score section of the game lol. I was expecting to come home to the third and final mission. Sometimes life is better when it is not full of expectation of outcome lol. Oh, the humanity!
