Wing Force

[PooshhMao]

As you probably know, the latest MAME added support for Wing Force, a rare unreleased prototype very generously donated by Shoutime.

So, now everybody has the chance to play it, what do you think?

I'm enjoying it quite a bit. To be honest, it isn't really all that adventurous, amounting to little more than a generic Raiden clone, with little to distinguish it from the others. Still, it's got okay production values, good graphics, sound and music, and it's pretty playable. Hard, too - I haven't quite figured out the hitbox details yet, but the game doesn't grant you a large margin. The weapons systems also appear rather run-off-the-mill, with your standard wide spreadshot, focused laser and homing missiles. The bosses are a bit on the easy side, easier than the stages themselves. In short, good but not great. Very welcome addition to MAME regardless.

Can't believe I missed that. I even posted in that thread.
