Delta Wing

1984 · Creative Sparks · ZX Spectrum

Delta Wing is a flight simulator released by Creative Sparks in 1984. It was then later re-released by Mastertronic as part of their M.A.D. range of software. It also appeared on a Crash magazine covertape, given away with Issue 69, dated October 1989. Action is viewed from a first-person perspective, with the planes controls and cockpit visible at the bottom of the screen. After getting to grips with the controls, players can take off, land and go on bombing missions over enemy bases. Enemy planes will also try to hunt down the player, and these can be shot down with the plane's guns. There is a map screen available to show the positions of your bases where you can land to refuel, the enemy bases, and enemy planes.
