Anyone here ever finish CV or TI-99 Wing War?

I just recently got the instructions off the net for this game after being baffled by it for years. I've long lost the patience to play it. What happens when you finally collect all the crystals you need? Does the game end? Is there an end? Is the TI-99 proto version the same as the CV version?

Heh! You are not the only one baffled by it. I got this game back in the day (pre-internet...yeah that long ago) at a flea market and thought "cool an Imagic game I didn't know about". This good feeling quickly faded when I actually played the game...and thought "what the hell is going on????" Thankfully as mentioned above we have the luxury of on-line instructions these days.

 

Yeah I'd love to know if there is an end too.

I think like a typical game of the era, there isn't an "end" per-se. But there is a little tunnel with some kind of fire demon inside it which is apparently the goal of the game, and I was never able to survive past him.

 

Maybe I should see if I can come up with a no-death hack for the game.

I never got this far. This tweaks my interest just enough to dust off this game and play it A no-death hack would certainly be cool!
