Dragonwing

Dragonwing is a video game in the action genre originally released in 2002. It is currently playable on VIC-20.

A simple but technically accomplished game for the VIC-20, Dragonwing puts you in a spaceship flying through a cave system at a very fast pace. As you go along and try not to crash into the undulating cave walls, you expend fuel and must collect new fuel supplies from the cave floor. Unlike Scramble or Super Cobra, flying through caves is not easy, even if they are not guarded by missile silos. Since your vehicle is not a helicopter, but a rocket, you fly through the caves at a very fast pace and without stopping. The laws of gravity and inertia mean that you cannot adjust your pace with pixel precision. Instead, your altitude must constantly be modified so that you don't crash into the ground, while you have to compensate for your maneuvers so that you don't crash into the ceiling.

Programmed in 2002, Dragonwing has little to do with the VIC-20 games of twenty years earlier, with multicolored sprites, fast and smooth scrolling, and a breakbeat soundtrack that plays throughout the game, despite running on an unexpanded VIC-20.

It is possible that we have multiple downloads available when different versions exist.
