1986 video game
Legendary Wings (アレスの翼) is a fantasy themed shoot 'em up / platformer arcade video game released by Capcom in 1986. The player takes control of a young soldier equipped with magical wings who must save the world from a malfunctioning supercomputer. A home version for the Nintendo Entertainment System was released exclusively in North America in 1988. The original coin op version is included in Capcom Classics Collection for PlayStation 2 and Xbox and in Capcom Classics Collection Remixed for PlayStation Portable. PlotLegendary Wings is set in a distant future where an alien supercomputer named "Dark", which has been helping human civilization achieve a new state of enlightenment since ancient times, has suddenly rebelled against mankind. Two young warriors are given the Wings of Love and Courage by the God of War Ares in order to destroy Dark and ensure mankind's survival. Gameplay
The coin op version of Legendary Wings can be played by up to two players simultaneously, with a second player being allowed to join the game at any time or even continue after a game over. The game's controls consist of an eight way joystick and two buttons which changes depending on the context. The game consists of five areas with two different playing styles: the first segment in each stage is a top view vertical scrolling segment in which the player flies across the sky, shooting at airborne enemies with their gun while dropping bombs at ground enemies, in order to reach the palace at the end of segment. When the player defeats the guardian and gains entrance to the palace, the game switches to a side scrolling perspective, in which the player moves towards their goal on foot (by walking, crouching, and climbing ladders, as well jumping) until reaching the boss at the end, in which the player character will begin to fly with their wings again. In addition to the regular levels there are two optional levels that are accessible from the vertical scrolling segment: a "Danger" area, which the player must escape from if inhaled by a giant mechanical face around the midpoint of each level; and a "Lucky" area, which is hidden on each level and contains treasure chests that will increase the player's score. The player can improve their gun by destroying certain enemies or weapon capsules and picking up the "P" item stored inside. The player can power up their character up to five levels; the first power up will increase the player's speed; the second will change their gun to a twin shooter, as well as further increase their speed; the third power up allows for continuous ground attacks; the fourth power up improves the player's gun so that it shoots in three directions; and the fifth and final power up will upgrade weapon to the "Psycho Flame" gun, which can destroy most enemies with a single shot. When the player is shot by an enemy, they will lose a life and revert to their initial power level. Nintendo Entertainment System
The NES version of Legendary Wings features several significant differences from its coin op counterpart. While the basic premise and formula remain essentially the same, several changes were made to the gameplay, particularly in how the player's power ups work in this version. Like in the arcade game, the player can upgrade their firepower up by picking up "P" icons hidden inside certain containers. The player can improve their character's firepower to four levels: starting with the normal gun, the player can improve it to a twin laser, a penetration beam, and a three way flame shot. Picking up the fourth power up will turn the player character into a Turtle Dove, which can shoot wide shots that are four times as powerful as the default gun. Leveling up will not only improve the player's gun in the NES version, but will also give the player's bomb better speed and range. If the player is shot during a power up state, it will simply revert the player to their previous power level. If the player is in Turtle Dove The player is able to retrieve heart icons hidden within the game's bonus levels to gain continues (up to nine continues can be stocked). In 2000, Rob Strangman of Hardcore Gaming 101 gave the NES port of Legendary Wings an 8 out of 10. Calling it "worthy of a place in any shooter fan's library", he considered the game's "mythological feel", to be unique for its genre and praised the game's music, writing, "the first level theme is very memorable, and the "Danger!" room's theme is very eerie." In 2013, Kurt Kalata of Hardcore Gaming 101 wrote "Legendary Wings is a fairly interesting shooter that is notable for being one of the earlier games to combine both vertical and horizontal shmups into a single game". Legacy
Michelle Heart makes an appearance in the fighting game Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes as one of several support characters who assist the main fighters in combat. She also appears as a trading card in SNK's Card Fighters series. In the tactical role playing game Namco x Capcom, the character of Sylphie (the shopkeeper from Forgotten Worlds) dresses up as Michelle Heart when she performs one of her special attacks. Michelle Heart is also featured in Project X Zone 2'' as a cameo character in Captain Commando's Solo Unit attack.

В аркадную версию Legendary Wings можно играть одновременно до двух игроков, при этом второй игрок может присоединиться в любой момент или продолжить игру после проигрыша. Управление в игре состоит из восьмипозиционного джойстика и двух кнопок, функции которых меняются в зависимости от ситуации. Игра состоит из пяти областей с двумя различными стилями геймплея: первый сегмент каждого уровня – это вертикальный скроллинг, в котором игрок летит по небу, отстреливая воздушных врагов и сбрасывая бомбы на наземных, чтобы добраться до дворца в конце сегмента. Победив стража и получив доступ во дворец, игра переключается в режим бокового скроллинга, где игрок движется к своей цели пешком (ходя, приседая, взбираясь по лестницам и прыгая), пока не достигнет босса в конце уровня, после чего персонаж снова начнет летать с помощью крыльев. Помимо основных уровней, есть два дополнительных, доступных из режима вертикального скроллинга: зона "Опасность", из которой игрок должен сбежать, если его затянет гигантское механическое лицо в середине уровня, и зона "Удача", скрытая на каждом уровне и содержащая сундуки с сокровищами, увеличивающие счет игрока. Игрок может улучшить свое оружие, уничтожая определенных врагов или капсулы с оружием и подбирая предмет "P", находящийся внутри. Персонажа можно улучшить до пяти уровней: первый повышает скорость игрока, второй заменяет оружие на двойной шутер и также увеличивает скорость, третий позволяет вести непрерывный огонь по земле, четвертый улучшает оружие, чтобы оно стреляло в трех направлениях, а пятый и последний уровень улучшает оружие до "Психо-пламени", способного уничтожать большинство врагов одним выстрелом. Получив урон от врага, игрок теряет жизнь и возвращается к начальному уровню улучшения.

The NES version of Legendary Wings features several significant differences from its coin op counterpart. While the basic premise and formula remain essentially the same, several changes were made to the gameplay, particularly in how the player's power ups work in this version. Like in the arcade game, the player can upgrade their firepower up by picking up "P" icons hidden inside certain containers. The player can improve their character's firepower to four levels: starting with the normal gun, the player can improve it to a twin laser, a penetration beam, and a three way flame shot. Picking up the fourth power up will turn the player character into a Turtle Dove, which can shoot wide shots that are four times as powerful as the default gun. Leveling up will not only improve the player's gun in the NES version, but will also give the player's bomb better speed and range. If the player is shot during a power up state, it will simply revert the player to their previous power level. If the player is in Turtle Dove The player is able to retrieve heart icons hidden within the game's bonus levels to gain continues (up to nine continues can be stocked). In 2000, Rob Strangman of Hardcore Gaming 101 gave the NES port of Legendary Wings an 8 out of 10. Calling it "worthy of a place in any shooter fan's library", he considered the game's "mythological feel", to be unique for its genre and praised the game's music, writing, "the first level theme is very memorable, and the "Danger!" room's theme is very eerie." In 2013, Kurt Kalata of Hardcore Gaming 101 wrote "Legendary Wings is a fairly interesting shooter that is notable for being one of the earlier games to combine both vertical and horizontal shmups into a single game".

Legendary Wings (アレスの翼) is a fantasy themed shoot 'em up / platformer arcade video game released by Capcom in 1986. The player takes control of a young soldier equipped with magical wings who must save the world from a malfunctioning supercomputer. A home version for the Nintendo Entertainment System was released exclusively in North America in 1988. The original coin op version is included in Capcom Classics Collection for PlayStation 2 and Xbox and in Capcom Classics Collection Remixed for PlayStation Portable. PlotLegendary Wings is set in a distant future where an alien supercomputer named "Dark", which has been helping human civilization achieve a new state of enlightenment since ancient times, has suddenly rebelled against mankind. Two young warriors are given the Wings of Love and Courage by the God of War Ares in order to destroy Dark and ensure mankind's survival. Gameplay
The coin op version of Legendary Wings can be played by up to two players simultaneously, with a second player being allowed to join the game at any time or even continue after a game over. The game's controls consist of an eight way joystick and two buttons which changes depending on the context. The game consists of five areas with two different playing styles: the first segment in each stage is a top view vertical scrolling segment in which the player flies across the sky, shooting at airborne enemies with their gun while dropping bombs at ground enemies, in order to reach the palace at the end of segment. When the player defeats the guardian and gains entrance to the palace, the game switches to a side scrolling perspective, in which the player moves towards their goal on foot (by walking, crouching, and climbing ladders, as well jumping) until reaching the boss at the end, in which the player character will begin to fly with their wings again. In addition to the regular levels there are two optional levels that are accessible from the vertical scrolling segment: a "Danger" area, which the player must escape from if inhaled by a giant mechanical face around the midpoint of each level; and a "Lucky" area, which is hidden on each level and contains treasure chests that will increase the player's score. The player can improve their gun by destroying certain enemies or weapon capsules and picking up the "P" item stored inside. The player can power up their character up to five levels; the first power up will increase the player's speed; the second will change their gun to a twin shooter, as well as further increase their speed; the third power up allows for continuous ground attacks; the fourth power up improves the player's gun so that it shoots in three directions; and the fifth and final power up will upgrade weapon to the "Psycho Flame" gun, which can destroy most enemies with a single shot.

Версия Legendary Wings для NES имеет несколько значительных отличий от аркадной. Хотя основная концепция и формула остаются в целом прежними, в геймплей были внесены некоторые изменения, особенно в механике улучшений игрока. Как и в аркадной игре, игрок может улучшить свою огневую мощь, собирая иконки "P", спрятанные в определенных контейнерах. Огневую мощь персонажа можно улучшить до четырех уровней: начиная с обычного пистолета, его можно улучшить до двойного лазера, проникающего луча и трехсторонней пламенной стрельбы. Получение четвертого улучшения превращает персонажа игрока в сизого голубя, который может стрелять широкими выстрелами, в четыре раза более мощными, чем стандартное оружие. Повышение уровня не только улучшает оружие игрока в версии для NES, но и увеличивает скорость и дальность полета бомб. Если игрок получает урон во время улучшения, он возвращается к предыдущему уровню. Находясь в облике сизого голубя, игрок может собирать иконки сердец, спрятанные в бонусных уровнях, чтобы получить дополнительные жизни (можно накопить до девяти).

The original coin op version is included in Capcom Classics Collection for PlayStation 2 and Xbox and in Capcom Classics Collection Remixed for PlayStation Portable. PlotLegendary Wings is set in a distant future where an alien supercomputer named "Dark", which has been helping human civilization achieve a new state of enlightenment since ancient times, has suddenly rebelled against mankind. Two young warriors are given the Wings of Love and Courage by the God of War Ares in order to destroy Dark and ensure mankind's survival. Gameplay
The coin op version of Legendary Wings can be played by up to two players simultaneously, with a second player being allowed to join the game at any time or even continue after a game over. The game's controls consist of an eight way joystick and two buttons which changes depending on the context. The game consists of five areas with two different playing styles: the first segment in each stage is a top view vertical scrolling segment in which the player flies across the sky, shooting at airborne enemies with their gun while dropping bombs at ground enemies, in order to reach the palace at the end of segment. When the player defeats the guardian and gains entrance to the palace, the game switches to a side scrolling perspective, in which the player moves towards their goal on foot (by walking, crouching, and climbing ladders, as well jumping) until reaching the boss at the end, in which the player character will begin to fly with their wings again. In addition to the regular levels there are two optional levels that are accessible from the vertical scrolling segment: a "Danger" area, which the player must escape from if inhaled by a giant mechanical face around the midpoint of each level; and a "Lucky" area, which is hidden on each level and contains treasure chests that will increase the player's score. The player can improve their gun by destroying certain enemies or weapon capsules and picking up the "P" item stored inside. The player can power up their character up to five levels; the first power up will increase the player's speed; the second will change their gun to a twin shooter, as well as further increase their speed; the third power up allows for continuous ground attacks; the fourth power up improves the player's gun so that it shoots in three directions; and the fifth and final power up will upgrade weapon to the "Psycho Flame" gun, which can destroy most enemies with a single shot. When the player is shot by an enemy, they will lose a life and revert to their initial power level. Nintendo Entertainment System
The NES version of Legendary Wings features several significant differences from its coin op counterpart. While the basic premise and formula remain essentially the same, several changes were made to the gameplay, particularly in how the player's power ups work in this version. Like in the arcade game, the player can upgrade their firepower up by picking up "P" icons hidden inside certain containers. The player can improve their character's firepower to four levels: starting with the normal gun, the player can improve it to a twin laser, a penetration beam, and a three way flame shot. Picking up the fourth power up will turn the player character into a Turtle Dove, which can shoot wide shots that are four times as powerful as the default gun. Leveling up will not only improve the player's gun in the NES version, but will also give the player's bomb better speed and range. If the player is shot during a power up state, it will simply revert the player to their previous power level. If the player is in Turtle Dove The player is able to retrieve heart icons hidden within the game's bonus levels to gain continues (up to nine continues can be stocked). In 2000, Rob Strangman of Hardcore Gaming 101 gave the NES port of Legendary Wings an 8 out of 10. Calling it "worthy of a place in any shooter fan's library", he considered the game's "mythological feel", to be unique for its genre and praised the game's music, writing, "the first level theme is very memorable, and the "Danger!" room's theme is very eerie." In 2013, Kurt Kalata of Hardcore Gaming 101 wrote "Legendary Wings is a fairly interesting shooter that is notable for being one of the earlier games to combine both vertical and horizontal shmups into a single game".
