Wings Out of Shadow is a 1983 video game published by Baen Enterprises for the Apple II and IBM PC.[1]

Contents

Wings Out of Shadow is a game named for a Berserker short story by Fred Saberhagen, which players out the tale of the Hope, a hospital ship, its escort, the carrier Judith, and the Judith's outnumbered complement of nine fighters.[2] Saberhagen wrote the in-game text.[1]

Reception

John D. Burtt reviewed Wings Out of Shadow in Space Gamer No. 69.[2] Burtt commented that "The programmers involved in this project did a very impressive job. Wings Out of Shadow is a good start for the Saberhagens, Berserker Works, Ltd., Baen Software, and perhaps, a whole new genre of computer game."[2]
