So, Sonic Wings Assault on the N64—it’s one of those arcade-style flight shooters where you pick a plane, blast everything in sight, and try not to crash into the scenery. The controls are simple enough (N64 stick works fine here), and each plane feels different—some are slow but tanky, others zip around but fold if a bullet sneezes on them.

First mission drops you right into it: enemy fighters swarming, missiles locking on, and that classic "oh crap" moment when three red dots suddenly appear behind you. The levels mix things up—desert canyons, icy tundras, even some weird floating fortress thing—but honestly, half the fun is just weaving through explosions while your screen fills with chaos.

It’s not the deepest game, but if you miss the days of just turning your brain off and shooting down 50 planes in a row, this’ll do the trick. The music’s got that cheesy midi-rock thing going on too, which somehow fits perfectly.
