In this episode Greg and George look at a early SNES game you probably never played, much less heard off -- a 'sequel' to the classic Amiga game Wings by Cinemaware (which has a remake available on GOG, Steam, and Mobile and is very good!).

Join us as we discuss this and give the game the usual coverage.
