Comments:
Dreadful game based on the movie/TV series. Looks and plays like the ancient Master System game F-16. You fly the supped up helicopter over a constant flat, green landscape shooting down those pesky middle eastern terrorists. Real rubbish!
Other versions of Airwolf:
Format: Sega Megadrive/Genesis
From: Kyugo Trading
Year: 1991
Comments: Renamed Cross Fire in the US. You fly the Airwolf helicopter in the usual top down shoot-em-up fare. You do the level once then go in close and try to take out as many foot soldiers as you can to make it easier when you go in on foot. Quite good but the graphics are a bit old.
Format: Amstrad CPC
From: Elite
Year: 1985
Comments: You control the Airwolf helicopter around a maze of rooms shooting out walls and collecting things. I knew people who liked this years ago but now it's pretty shabby.

Airwolf in space.
Comments:
This time the game is a scrolling shoot-em-up similar to the classic nemesis. The locations in this version are a bit strange. The first level takes place in space with the Airwolf up against aliens and flying balls! Better than the first game.
