It is very cool to play this old classic in this updated version!

It is dissapointing however, that it is really just the graphics that is
updated, nothing else. Although the gameplay is still solid, it doesn´t have
much lasting appeal... much to simple by todays standard.

For nostalgia it is great however.

I do have a great problem though, does anyone remember how to win the
jousting tournament? The manual says to just aim for the middle of the
shield. I have done that about 20 times now, and not won once.. It can´t be
THAT hard?

jousting, as I remember was impossible. You had to aim a little below and
to the right I think, then when you are about to impact hit your button.
That thrusts the joust. It was very very hard!

I manage to win occasionally by just aiming for the middle of the
shield. It's not easy, though. It's a good idea to play a couple of
games with the guy who's strong at jousting and just arrange tournaments
until you run out of money.

By the way, I saw that Cinemaware is coming out with an updated version
of Wings - I'm really looking forward to that one!

Yep, that's what I was inferring :)
