Assault Wing

Player notes

About this game

Assault Wing puts human pilots in small armed craft inside enclosed arenas. Steering combines rotation with thrust, so facing a direction and travelling toward it are separate actions. The Factory screen prepares pilots and weapons before a match; the Arena screen chooses which battlefields enter the rotation.

Use plus and minus in the Factory to change the player count and F1–F4 to select pilots. In the Arena list, Enter adds a map and Delete removes one. Before playing together, inspect Options and Setup: the default layouts place several players on different parts of the same keyboard.

For player one, W applies thrust, A/D turn, Left Shift fires and S uses the special weapon. Z activates the extra action. The original modem support is described as unfinished; these instructions concern local play.
