Item Condition

Game only: the cartridge in a protective holder, no box or manual. The photos are of this exact copy — look them over closely for its condition, packaging and details. Every cartridge's shell, label and board are checked for authenticity when it comes into the store, and it's tested before it's listed. It ships in a collector's bag or a hard plastic case.

Item Description

That thundering theme, Jan-Michael Vincent in the pilot's seat and a black-and-white attack helicopter that could outrun jets: Airwolf was pure 1980s television swagger, and the chopper itself was always the real star. Acclaim's NES adaptation, developed by Australia's Beam Software, is not a port of Kyugo's arcade game. Instead it puts you inside the cockpit, looking out through the canopy as enemy aircraft close in.

Each of the twenty missions is a rescue operation with plenty of firepower attached. Prisoners are held at enemy bases, and getting them out means locating the right base, clearing the skies around it and setting Airwolf down to make the pickup. Enemy airfields keep launching pursuers until you destroy them, which turns every mission into a small strategic question of what to hit first, while your home base is the one place to refuel and repair damage. Missiles and a machine gun handle anything that gets in the way, and a mission only counts once every prisoner is aboard and you reach the border of the map.

It is a game of its era and its license, and honest opinions on it have always been split. One reference guide praised its musical score while calling the gameplay dull, and players who enjoy it tend to appreciate the deliberate rhythm of navigating, landing and dogfighting rather than nonstop arcade action. For fans of the show the appeal is simple: this is a chance to take Stringfellow Hawke's seat on original hardware, in a cockpit-view take on the license that feels nothing like the side-scrolling arcade version.
