Description

"Wing Arms" is a flight combat simulator released in 1996 for the Sega Saturn, developed by Bell Corporation. Set during the aftermath of World War II, the game uniquely blends historical aviation with arcade-style action, offering players the chance to pilot several famous WWII aircraft such as the P-51 Mustang, Spitfire, and Zero. Unlike other flight simulators that prioritize realistic physics and controls, "Wing Arms" leans more towards an arcade experience, focusing on straightforward controls and engaging dogfights, making it accessible to both casual gamers and enthusiasts of the genre.

The game's setting revolves around a fictional scenario where remnants of the defeated German army regroup to launch a counterattack against the Allies, and players must thwart this resurgence through various aerial missions. Each mission presents different challenges, from destroying enemy strongholds to protecting allied bases. "Wing Arms" is noted for its smooth graphics and responsive gameplay mechanics for its time, using the Saturn’s capabilities to render detailed aircraft models and expansive landscapes. The blend of an alternate history narrative with compelling air combat helped "Wing Arms" carve a niche for itself among the pantheon of Sega Saturn titles, despite facing competition from other games in the flight simulation genre.
