Reception
Forrest Johnson reviewed Winged Samurai in The Space Gamer No. 33. Johnson commented that "Unfortunately, in creating this historical authenticity, the programmer sacrificed the game to the simulation. The display is purely two-dimensional, and the graphics are unimpressive. ... The game is not real time. You can take all day to make your combat decisions. ... Recommended to historical aviation gamers."
