- TRIVIA -


Released in November 1986.


Ares no Tsubasa translates from Japanese as 'Wings of Ares'. Ares is the Greek god of war.


This game is known in US as "Legendary Wings".


The main character appears as a striker character (Michelle Heart) in "Marvel vs. Capcom - Clash of Super Heroes".


- UPDATES -


In "Legendary Wings" (US Set 1), the main characters are men whereas in Ares No Tsubasa they are women.


- TIPS AND TRICKS -


* On each level, a trio of statues arranged in a triangular pattern will appear about three-quarters of the way through. Bomb them until one of them reveals a passageway (you'll have to bomb them all; it's not the same one every time), and fly into it. You'll now be in a cave, free to fly along and collect treasure chests worth 200 points apiece. When you're in the cave, though, don't shoot - if you fire and hit a treasure chest it's destroyed, and some of the cavern walls release enemies when shot.
