How it feels

A tense, cinematic blend of action-adventure and strategic planning, placing you in the captain's seat of a B-17 bomber with realistic sights, sounds, and high-stakes decisions.

What players say

Players are split. Nostalgia-driven fans praise the game for its faithful preservation and still-engaging gameplay, but many others warn it is a bare-bones re-release of a 1990 Mac abandonware title. The port adds new audio bugs and glitches that were not in the original, and the lack of modern instructions makes it nearly impenetrable for newcomers.
