Additional Comments

The large island on screen 12 has a multi-colored object which appears to have no function.

There are three hidden objects in the game the manual doesn’t mention: Candelabra, Chalice and Mask. Finding them is worth bonus points, and each time you find them, they’re worth escalating bonuses.

This game embodies everything I hate about the model 2600 AND everything I love about the model 800 home computer, because there is an 800 "version" of this beautiful game that is so different, so much better, these shouldn't have the same title. 2600 was released for PAL European video only, it worked a little bit tho crashed too much when tried in NTSC mode. Nothing makes any sense without instructions, not sure if they're here yet, AtariAge has instructions. The model 800 version was never released by Imagic or anyone. It is considered the first big Casualty of the Great Game Crash of the 1980s. If you ask me they thought it was Too Good, that games as good as model 800 Wing War were causing the crash and better off shelved.
