Ambitious WW1 style airplane shooter.

This is pretty chuggy as it's going for the 3D polygonal style on a handheld system. Because of that this is pretty slow, but it is functional and dog fighting is ok. You can look around the plane with the b button which is cool.

Have patience though, this runs about 4-6 fps tops.

Honestly kind of cool seeing a World War I game from this period. I suspect that the difficulty of shooting down a plane in 1917 might not be so far off from this game

Absolutely unplayable trash. A tech demo where the biplanes and clouds move around in full 3D, in the bitmap scaling technique used for home PC games like Wing Commander used at the time. Great, right? Well, no. Because the entire game is just you aiming yourself at the first plane, mashing the fire button, and then losing to the next wave of two planes. In less than 2 minutes you've seen the entire game, have fun repeating it I guess.
