What's Pilotwings?
A really sweet game. You wanna have a chill 16-bit time? Pop in Pilotwings. It's got very nice music, fun gameplay and a somewhat steep but fair difficulty curve. It was also a SNES launch title and showcases Mode 7 like no other game.

What's this LP?
Basically a relaxed stroll through the game with varying guests, having a good time and enjoying a bit of Pilotwings.

Anything else?
Apart from the videos I'll go into some of the more interesting things related to the game. Just a few informative posts to accompany the updates. There's a bunch of really sweet remixes of the games soundtrack for example. And something about Birdman.

Courage, my friends; 'tis not too late to build a better world.


Ah, PilotWings! One of the first Super Nintendo games I ever played - if not the first! - and a long-time favourite of mine. Soyo Oka did a bang-up job on this and other works that she was involved in, and I'm glad there are going to be some high-quality recordings on Tindeck for this LP. Good luck.

ECKS DEE!

You guys are hilarious. I put pilotwings into an old psp thinking it was some horizontal shooter, so I don't feel like playing it. But I had a massive laugh with you guys xD

Get ready for episode 3, in which we will try and overcome the swimming steel fortress of Big Al by showing that we can not only land a plane and open a parachute, but also hang a glider and rocket some belts!


Remixalbum "Take Flight" by halc

"But wait, what's that second picture about?" I hear you ask in a confused manner. Well, not only have I got a new video for you, but also a remix album of the entire soundtrack of this game! "WHAT?" you exclaim. Well, let me tell you!
Entirely made by halc, with Benjamin Briggs guesting for two tracks, this is a pretty awesome piece of work. I don't care for the guys too much, but with it's 7 full lenght tracks, this album is definitely worth listening to, even more so if you like the original Pilotwings soundtrack, naturally.
"Well, that sounds brilliant! But how much is it?" I hear you ask excitingly. Get ready for this: You can grab the entire thing by just clicking on the picture above for FREE! And don't say I didn't warn you when you find yourself not being able to stop listening to these awesome tunes!

Were you talking about prions or something in the intro for the second video?

Taken straight from the freakin IMdb page of Pilotwings:

IMdb posted:

The normal game consists of 5 missions - 4 levels of flight instruction and 1 helicopter mission. Complete them all to access the later missions. Completing the first 5 missions also unlocks a new title screen, with a cityscape background and the title "Pilotwings Expert.""
Oh and

IMdb posted:

According to the instruction manual, Lance's age is unknown and he speaks multiple languages.
The more you know, eh?

Anyway, it's time for *Expert Mode*



This time the commentary's live, so expect EMOTIONS and DRAMA. First up's Tony.

with Dithiannim, Goggle Fox & The Moon

I feel like the music is a bit on the silent end. If it's particularly annoying, tell me and I'll crank up the volume.

Looks like you got a good deal there!

The White Phosphorous, Cocaine, Gunpowder snow is very deadly. Never journey to Detroit-Siberia if you have a plane made out of meat and you are a transmogrifying harpenguman.

Keep it up Pizza.

Thanks for doing this LP. Watching your videos made me think of how many times I failed these missions as a kid. I remember the bonus stage where you have to hit a button fast to fly as a bird and immediately hit the turbo button on my controller.
