Airplane Racing Game
« on: February 08, 2006, 10:57:48 pm »
Been looking all over for this game, and I'm hoping someone can help!

I remember playing this game in an arcade around 10 (maybe more) years ago.  I'm pretty sure it was made by Sega, but I could be wrong.  Basically, it was an airplane racing game with 3-D polygonal graphics... you got to pick from a variety of different planes and race them, but you had weapons you could use as well.  Anyone have any ideas?

I was hoping I could find a Dreamcast version since I thought the game was made by Sega, but no luck.  I'd stick my Dreamcast in my arcade machine in a second if I found it!  I did find a similar PS1 game, but it's not the same.

The only dogfight game that I know of on the Dreamcast is the never officialy released 'Propeller Arena'.

It's a really good game, especially in 2 player VS mode.
I don't think it was ever an arcade game although it was made by SEGA's famous AM2 team...

Another one (that is going to be emulated in MAME) is SEGA's Wing War:

Thanks.. that's the one.. Wing War!
Hopefully it'll be playable in MAME one day.

I remember Propeller Arena too... I think they cancelled that one shortly after September 11th.

Thanks Dennis  :D

And to think I didn't even know WingWar unril I went searching for screenshots of Propeller Arena :)

You should try and find a copy of Propeller Arena though, it's a lot of fun....

Wow, finding a copy is turning up to be a little harder than I thought.  I was almost sure someone would have it on ebay or something.  Wrong.
