Sopwith is a DS port of the sidescrolling shoot'em up Sopwith, which was originally created by David L. Clark of BMB Compuscience in 1984.

User guide

You begin at your base (typically a hangar and a runway). From here, you must launch your plane and attack targets. This stage can be a hindrance to an inexperienced player, as sufficient speed is needed to get the plane into the air. Insufficient speed will cause the plane to stall and crash.

The plane is equipped with a machine gun and a supply of bombs. This weaponry can be used to destroy enemy buildings and shoot down enemy planes. Gauges in the status bar at the bottom of the screen show the remaining lives, fuel, bombs and bullets, respectively.

Controls

Up/Down - Pull up/down

Left - Decelerate

Right - Accelerate

A - Fire machine gun

B - Drop bomb

X - Flip plane

Y - Return to base

R - Fire missile

Start - End game
