Old Boy Game Box Original No. 312 Author: Xiao Lei
There were not many football games played as a child, and only four of them could impress, one was Blood Soccer 2, and strictly speaking, all ball games in this series should be classified as unlimited fighting games; The other two football games are "Soccer" and "Tecmo World Cup", the former is made by Lao Ren himself, the latter played often with Brazil when he was a child, and he can also skate infinitely in the whole field, which is very skinny.
The last and most important soccer game in childhood memory is Angel Wings 2, an FC adaptation of the 90s hit animated film Soccer Boy.
At that time, this cassette was compiled into a variety of 4-in-1 cassettes by D merchants due to its better capacity optimization, making it widely circulated (another similar game is "Saint Seiya: The Golden Legend Ends"), plus the game content is indeed very rich and tireless, gaining a large number of nostalgic gamers fans, even if there are countless folk BT modifications on the small broken station.
In fact, "Angel Wings 2" is not so much a football simulation game, but rather a football SLG game, in which the strategy is far more than the formation, position so simple, each player's dribbling, passing, shooting, etc. can be counted as a part of the game, which is a new type of game.
However, not a small thunder spit, "Angel Wings 2" plot rhythm is really very protracted, the game from the big air wing joined the Brazilian São Paulo team to start, a total of six chapters, each has five or six small levels, a total of 33 levels to play, the actual game also has to keep brushing levels, if not SL normal level this game can really tire people to vomit blood.
In comparison, the game's predecessor, Angel Wings 1, is much friendlier. "Angel Wings 1" was released in 1988, which is the year when the FC console is in full swing, and the game can be seen at the beginning of the game to see the big empty wing playing the ball around.
The plot is mainly divided into two parts: the 16th Middle School Competition and the World Junior Championship, the former playing Toho, the latter playing the world, basically watching the animated version of the "Football Boy" when I was a child, the plot is more familiar, and a smooth point can basically be opened in the early ten levels, and the overall process is much simpler than that of "Angel Wings 2".
For domestic players "Angel Wings 1" is still relatively rare, it is said that a few friends have played the English version of this game, most of the players have access to this work through network video or later simulators, Xiao Lei has also played for a period of time, the overall feeling that this generation of "Angel Wings" operation is very awkward, because it is the first generation of games, the various settings on the system are still extremely immature, for example, this generation of balls on the minimap can not see the location of other members.
It can only be seen when passing, but only all enemy personnel can be seen, and some of our players need to manually select many times to see the whole thing.
The various movements of this generation of players are also a bit of a surprise, except for the more normal action with the ball, the rest of the actions are basically invisible like kicking, such as all the interception actions to convex a right-handed charge of the POSE, the formation is more like a group of elementary school X on the court on horseback to fight a family.
Another big problem with the original "Angel Wings" is that there are too few tricks in this game, and the picture is not cool at all, such as the tiger-style shot of Kojiro (Matsuhito) classmate in the picture below, which is obviously a trick in the late stage of the game, not only the starting action is a universal butt stand-up painting, the entire shooting animation is also very boring and boring.
Compared with the cool and crazy shooting effects of "Angel Wings 2" next door, it is simply heaven and earth.
However, this generation of "Angel Wings" is not completely useless, as mentioned earlier, the plot is simplified, in fact, this work has a lot of plot goods, and they are all well known to everyone: First of all, there are various plot eggs, in the battle against Toho Gakuen, if you drag into the overtime draw, you can see the classic bridge section of the animation in which Winglet and Kojiro exchange uniforms, which is really a tribute.
In addition, in the near future World Junior Championship, there will be a small game of time-limited search for Misaki, and all kinds of cross-play are quite LIKE AVG games.
In the end, we can meet Misakita's wife under the Eiffel Tower, which is also a faithful tribute to the plot of the anime. With Cape Taro, the game will be much easier, and you can eventually unlock special playthrough screens.
Overall, the original Angel Wings is the beginning of a generation of classics, but the various system designs are not perfect, the game experience is actually poor, and it is not recommended for veteran players to spend time on this game. Especially next door, "Angel Wings 2" currently has a Chinese version of the plot, and the original generation still has only one English version to play, and many classic characters have been replaced, which is a pity.
I don't know if Xiao Lei's various evaluations hurt the hearts of die-hard fans of "Angel Wings", and all kinds of unfinished details about the original "Angel Wings" are welcome to be added by friends in the comment area.
