Kalypso Media announces plans to bring an HD remastered edition of Wings! to PCs, reviving this World War I aerial combat game that was a hit on the Commodore Amiga back in the day. This is coming to Windows; OS X; and mobiles later this year, with a PS3 edition to follow at some point after that. They are proud of the game's arcade nature, calling it "more than just a simulator," and still hold a grudge, as we can't recall the last time someone invoked "hun." Here's word: "Relive the action, glory and seat of the pants daring of a WWI Allied fighter pilot! You'll strafe Hun armies, bomb enemy aerodromes and match wits against deadly Aces in heart-stopping dogfights, the loser going down in flames...without a parachute! More than just a simulator, Wings! Remastered Edition features genuine arcade action and an emotion-packed role-playing experience. Wings! Remastered Edition is the easy to play air combat simulation you've been waiting for... no complicated keyboard commands. Just fly and shoot!" Here are some screenshots and here's more on the remake:

Wings! Remastered Edition is the great comeback of the Amiga hit-game from 1990. The game has been completely reproduced in stunning HD graphics, high-quality sound effects and a masterful soundtrack re-scored with real instruments. Jump into the cockpit and enjoy this re-mastered classic game experience!
