 |  Richard Ikin says sorry for making Airwolf!
I missed this, but with-in the last month the author Richard Ikin of C16 Airwolf commented on my video of the game in action on Youtube!
Check the comments to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpE-OO5MEyM
To be honest I for one was very surprised and pleased with what he had done when it first released on our system. There was nothing else like it and it was challenging for a while even if it was a little on the small side. The helicopter looked awesome too. It was an early game and it's better than he might believe it is/was at the time it was made.

lol, yeah I only actually read that for the first time myself yesterday. He's full of unnecessary apologies that guy.
I also don't think that Commando is as bad as he made out. As far as arcade conversion accuracies goes sure it's poor
and can understand why people were disappointed back then. But as a game all on its own Commando isn't that bad.
It's certainly playable enough on its own merits if you take out the arcade conversion equation, it's just a different kinda game that's all

lol, I forgot about that. Wish he still had the disks for it. Imagine
the only conversion of a hugely popular laser disc arcade game only
available at the time for the unexpanded C16, which does sound kinda
ludicrous. I have absolutely no idea how it could have possibly worked myself
