Released by Capcom in 1986, Legendary Wings is an ambitious shooter inspired by the world of mythology that features alternating vertical and horizontal scrolling stages. Players take on the role of a warrior gifted with legendary wings, diving into intense battles to save humanity from the control of the supercomputer known as "Dark."

With the help of a massive computer called "DARK" brought to Earth by extraterrestrials, humanity advanced from an ancient civilization to one of the super-future. However, DARK suddenly went out of control, placing humanity on the brink of extinction. In response, Ares, the god of war, bestowed wings of love and courage upon two youths. Armed with these wings, the warriors take flight to destroy the giant computer DARK and secure the future of mankind.
