Legendary Wings, released in Japan as Aresu no Tsubasa[a], is a 1986 vertically scrolling shooter and run and gun video game developed and published by Capcom for arcades.
The player takes control of a young soldier equipped with magical wings who must save the world from a malfunctioning supercomputer.
Legendary Wings is set in a distant future where an alien supercomputer named "Dark", which has been helping human civilization achieve a new state of enlightenment since ancient times, has suddenly rebelled against mankind.
Picking up the fourth power-up will turn the player character into a Turtle Dove,[7] which can shoot wide shots that are four times as powerful as the default gun.
[9] In Japan, Game Machine listed Legendary Wings on their December 15, 1986 issue as being the twelfth most-successful table arcade unit of the month.
[9] IGN ranked Legendary Wings as the 70th greatest game for the NES, calling it the weirdest result of Capcom's efforts to diversify shooters in the 1980s.
