Yet another excellent shooter from Japan, Winglancer is a “retro-style” vertical shooter from ZAP, who updated his own game for the MSX computer to work on modern Windows PC. Nothing special here: kill everything in sight by shooting enemy ships and avoiding fire. Nice anime style, solid gameplay, and challenging bosses make this one of the better ‘old skool’ shooters out there, although enemy patterns are a bit too recognizable after a few waves. Recommended if you enjoy shooters, especially ones that hark back to the golden days of 8-bit gaming. Thumbs up!
