Triplane Classic is a side-scrolling dogfighting game featuring solo missions and multiplayer mode with up to four players. It is a port of the original Triplane Turmoil game for DOS and aims to match the original game exactly so that high scores remain comparable to the original.

The Nintendo Switch port has been built by sergiou87 using DevkitPro and libnx, based on the SDL port Timo Juhani Lindfors made. It was updated to SDL2 making it easier to port it to other platforms. It also adds support for 4 XInput game controllers instead of only 2 joysticks.

Installation

Extract the zip file to the root of the SD card.

About the game

Triplane Turmoil is a sidescrolling dogfighting flying game originally written for MS-DOS by Finnish developer Dodekaedron Software.

The game features four nations: Finland, England, Germany and Japan. Each nation has a single player campaign. There are also multiplayer levels which can be played with human or computer controlled pilots. The countries' planes differ from each other in terms of speed, maneuverability, bomb load capacity, endurance, ammunition capacity and fuel capacity.

Play against the computer or against other human opponents via a split-screen display. Do well and receive medals, ribbons, and promotions. Form alliances with other players or go it alone. Attack other planes in the air or drop bombs on enemy forces on the ground. Your objective is to destroy as much of the enemy as possible, and to defend your own forces!

Notes

The whole game should be playable, controls have been adapted to the Switch, including the use of the touch screen or the left joystick and the A button as a mouse to navigate the menus.

The roster is not functional yet, as you cannot input text, so 4 players are created by default, which have assigned the corresponding gamepad to their player number.

Controls

Left Stick or D-Dad - Up/Down

Y - Guns

B - Bombs

X - Roll

R - Power

Minus - Exit, Go back

Plus - Help
