Reception
Forrest Johnson reviewed Winged Samurai in The Space Gamer No. 33.[2] Johnson commented that "Unfortunately, in creating this historical authenticity, the programmer sacrificed the game to the simulation. The display is purely two-dimensional, and the graphics are unimpressive. ... The game is not real time. You can take all day to make your combat decisions. ... Recommended to historical aviation gamers."[2]
gollark: I was saying "not sure" to <@!471994580682932227>, not that.
gollark: Not entirely sure what you mean.
gollark: Days and score/viewy stuff, you mean?
gollark: My hatchery project will ideally reduce sicknessy issues somewhat, but unfortunately I only have the EATW formulae to work from.
gollark: Also, because sickness is probably defined using some formula from score (V/UV/clicks accumulated using a seeeecret thingy) and time, and removing it would probably cause thorny issues like "when should it be allowed to come back".
