Biplanes

I finally picked this up off planetemu - what a great game! I remember spending hours chasing my friends around the screen in the little orange wonder :)

Anyone else have fond memories of the duel-winged one? I'm well up for playing it when WinUAE-Kaillera r2 is out :D

Oh yes !

If you search for the phrase "Biplane Duel" on this board you'll see I've probably slotted it into 50% of my posts !

This & Sensi Soccer are my favourite games (not just Amiga) in the whole world ever !

If it is the version that I am thinking of it is one of the best muli-player games ever!!

BIP, A.K.A Biplane Duel. The version I played featured on Amiga Format coverdisks twice.

The 2nd version also has a 1 player option, but too be honest 1 player is only good for some brief practice.

It has the hut in the middle and a hot air baloon appears every now and then.

[thinlega]

yup!!! thats the one ;)

Indeed - I always called it Bip too :)

Just so there's no ambiguity:

Taken from the BBC version? I used to play this on my friends BBC years and years ago!!
I remember the balloon and the hut in the middle.. and the clouds you could hide in and stuff :) :) :)

One thing I like about the bbc version ... is that when you die a grave stone appears near to the hut.... so after about 10 deaths you cannot take off for grave stones!!!!!
