B-17 Flying Fortress: World War II Bombers in Action

To complicated for some one born after 1990

When B-17 originally came out in 1992, this 15 year old played it on hard repeat. My grandfather was in the Air Force during WWII and the stories he told had me in awe, so naturally I wanted to complete every mission this brilliant sim presented. Younger players will probably give this a miss due to the old graphics, but it is even to this day one of the most detailed sims covering the subject. This of course comes from a time when games used to come with 200+ page manuals, maps and keyboard charts. I would love to see a modern day remake, but the odds of that are low because it would be poor form to put micro transactions and add-on DLC into game subject like this. It's great to see this on steam. Hello old friend.

This is stunning, the nostalgia is real. Also nice is the upgrades that I missed out on having played on an Amiga 500 (more bombers in formation etc.)

I picked this one up on sale as it was a childhood favourite back in the 90s and it was a bit of fun to bring back old memories however it is definitely a game of its time. Very slow and clunky game-play in comparison to more modern options as to be expected and only really playable for nostalgic purposes.

i love bombing n*zis B)

Masters of the Air has nothing on this gem. It's a B-17 in flight sim from over 30 years ago that still can't be beat.

Still a Great Nostalgic Game and well worth the $ 8.00. The graphics are old but it's a old game and they are part of the Fun. it is in no way a easy game though i have 12 hours in it and have completed 3 missions. my only complaint is the A.I. bombers tend to miss the target alot of times so don't count on them when you start your bomb Run. It's better for you to take control of the bombardier and bomb the target yourself.

I used to love playing this as a kid. I still enjoy playing it now. I should probably play it more than I do.
