Wings of Death is a game programmed by demo coders, squeezing every little bit of power out of the ST. This is one of the best shooters on the platform. I remember first setting eyes on this title back in the day. It was amazing seeing the ST pushed to its limits!

Be careful with the upgrades! Weapons have multiple levels of power, but if you pickup another weapon type powerup, you're back to square one. There are also damage, speed, energy, 1 ups, and screen clearing bomb powerups.

I definitely think if this game had been released in the arcade, more people would know it. I think the game could have competed well with shooters from Japanese developers of the time.

Played here is an 'Ultimate Edition' of Wings of Death, modified by DBug. The original ST audio is used, not the TFMX/Amiga audio.

The game was played on an Atari Falcon, 14MB.
A VGA cable was used, connected to an OSSC 1.6 (processing the video in Line2x mode), with the output being captured by a Startech USB3HDCAP.
Video was edited with Shotcut.
