The manga was adapted into an anime television series titled Dream Soldier Wingman (夢戦士ウイングマン Yume Senshi Uinguman) in 1984. It also had a 1984 visual novel adventure game adaptation of the same name, developed by TamTam and published by Enix for the NEC PC-8801 and other Japanese personal computers.[1] It featured a point-and-click interface, where a cursor is used to interact with on-screen objects,[2] similar to Planet Mephius (1983)[2] and the NES version of Portopia Renzoku Satsujin Jiken (1985).[3]
