Delta Wing is a flight simulator released by Creative Sparks in 1984. It was then later re-released by Mastertronic as part of their M.A.D. range of software. It also appeared on a Crash magazine covertape, given away with Issue 69, dated October 1989.
Action is viewed from a first-person perspective, with the planes controls and cockpit visible at the bottom of the screen. After getting to grips with the controls, players can take off, land and go on bombing missions over enemy bases. Enemy planes will also try to hunt down the player, and these can be shot down with the plane's guns.
There is a map screen available to show the positions of your bases where you can land to refuel, the enemy bases, and enemy planes.
As a deep sea diver, you sense an opportunity to gain untold wealth from the large number of treasures which have drifted to the bottom of the ocean. You do this by attaching yourself to your diving station and moving down the infested waters, grabbing an item of treasure and moving it back up to the station.
Various fish are around, including crabs, piranhas and squids, all of which move in their own ways, and can be shot with your gun. Worst of all are the sharks which can cut through your cord - make sure they do not swim above you close to the line. The cord can go through other fish safely and unimpeded, but contact with the fishes themselves costs you a life. You have 32 screens to plunder.
Gameplay is very close to the original gamebook with branching decisions entered by keyboard, except for combat which is handled in a real-time 2D combat interface.

While searching for the missing crates, the player may optionally earn bonus points by rescuing refugees from the islands. There is no limit on the number of crates or refugees the helicopter can carry, and the player only needs to return to Base Island after the last crate has been found and loaded.
Hindering progress is the cyclone itself, which can cause the helicopter to behave erratically at long range, and crash at close range. While over open water the helicopter must avoid low flying planes which traverse the screen occasionally. The player also has limited fuel - which can be replenished at helipads on several of the islands - and a time limit in which to retrieve the crates. The screen display warns the player of the cyclones proximity, any approaching planes, and also the remaining time and fuel.
