About This Retro Game
The game faithfully recreates the Airwolf helicopter's capabilities including turbo boost, missile salvos, and its signature chin-mounted chain gun. Each mission begins with a dramatic takeoff sequence from the hidden mountain lair.
Notable for its pseudo-3D scaling effects that create a sense of speed as the helicopter flies over desert canyons, arctic bases, and enemy cities. The final mission involves a daring assault on the enemy's fortress headquarters.
The arcade cabinet featured a unique yoke-style controller with dual triggers for weapons and a thumb button for turbo boost, closely mimicking the TV show's cockpit controls.
