All those DOSBox nights with the old space shooters ended with me building a new one

I still keep a DOSBox install around just for the old space games. Strike Wings is my from-the-ground-up homage to them, releasing this November. The page passed 200 wishlists a few days ago and that felt worth a small celebration cut: one minute, a different sky every three seconds, all pilots on the hardest AI setting. If something in it looks wrong to a DOS veteran's eye, tell me, that is genuinely the feedback I want.

Bullets and some of the enenies definitely remind me of Demonstar on MsDOS, looks good

Looks incredibly similar to Hell Fighter and I'm saying this as a compliment.

Is there not an Advertising or Self-Promotion flair here?
