Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe Old PCGame

[Wunlong1234]

I want a remake too! The lame follow up SWON sucked so bad, I can't believe they even spent the money on it. I used the cd for a drink coaster until my bloodhound ate it.

[thekswervedirt]

Is there any war aviator game that compares to this one for todays computers? I used to love this game.

[jros83]

@He101A soken like either a moron, or a kid.

[advancedpillow]

i used to play this when i was like 10. i had no idea wtf i was doing.

[MrGunniHelm]

Still have the boxes, including the mission discs...was my first PC game. *sigh*

[Solarfactor]

This was the sequel to The Battle of Britain on the Amiga, but the sounds are nowhere near as good.

[eisyphil]

I remember this game when I was like 3 years old...aaaah, good times...good times :'-)

[phantom12321800]

Did I miss something when I played this game or was there no way to fast forward? I always had to fly all the way back to blighty. Took like 2 hours. and a ton of map reading.

[jros83]

@phantom12321800 ALT-T

[phantom12321800]

@jros83 Daaaamn. So much time wasted.

[NWONoWorldOrderNWO]

I have this game, I used to play it on my 486-DX 4 back in the day. I thought it was a decent game and that its too bad you cant run it today on todays computers.

[SlashesWithClaws]

I loved this game, got really good at the campaign. I still have it around somewhere, and it works great in DOSBox.

[zekester1981]

The flight sim to end all flight sims! Possibly the greatest game I have ever played. I compare all flight sims to this one. I loved the x-wing and tie fighter games(i still play them), but this is the one that started it all. I had the 3.5 floppy version(I still have the manual). I found a torrent since i cant load from my floppys and put on dosbox, but it doesn't work right there. I wish they would remake this with no changes except updated graphics!

[rossidavid]

"Alte Zeiten" *heul*

[HipHopNobby]

A REMAKE OF THIS GAME,Yes with the original Sounds PLZ in Svga modification or so, this is Timeless like 1942 Pacific Air War for Dos and 80 Years of Aerial Warfare ,want anyone play with me over INTERNET?????? plz Kontakt

[PitbullNL]

man, this game was EPIC back in the day

was playing it when i was 6 or something, still remember it as a great game.

[ewh83]

i still play this game

[1984Hellvis]

i have played this game for years... i still have the original package from this game must be 20 years old by now.... 

[BionicThiago123]

Such a great game, got me into flight sims and Hollands better follow ups, the X-Wing series. I still have my 5.25" floppys for this as well as the decoder. Classic.

[kevinwafer]

The campaign modes were near perfect... Picking industries to attack, or swapping factory production between jets, rockets, munitions etc. With actions on the mission influencing the war, and vice versa. I haven't seen this done since in a flight sim, massive remake potential!

[misterblort]

my first flight game, fucking awesome!

[AlexPractical]

Oh my God, this is such a far cry from IL-2 Sturmovik Cliffs of Dover that I am shedding a tear like that Indian in the "don't litter" commercials.

[DoogesR1]

omg i loved this game as a kid, looks so bad now

[maurirossi]

I was "forced" to change my green hercules monitor for a 16 colors EGA very expensive one because of that game! :) I loved playing it.

[AlitaAngel]

That was my very first videogame! on a 286!

[Masnovita11]

Wow I played this game porbably 1000 hours in amiga computer !!

[skymonkeyGTFO]

the coverart of this game was too epic for its time... so was the coverart for monkey island.. damm i want monkey island's coverart on a shirt... :P

[RiverOfConsciousness]

lol. I've still got the circle decoder somewhere around here. 

[TheCaptainmoemoe]

Pick the Germans. You know you want jets.

[schtolteheim]

Is this game much different from Chuck Yeager's Air Combat, or even better?

[RichieRottentooth]

I just nostalgia'd all over my screen.

I remember being 2 or 3, always wanting my dad to pick the Germans. Even before I knew about WWII and history I loved the 3rd Reich lol

[snipedog]

/Cry

[HardWarUK]

I have this and Battlehawks and Their Finest Hour!

[knask3]

haxxxxxx

[luckySkunk1969]

FNEB



[GreatMewtwo]

89 people were credited with an aerial victory

[Akaoni21]

I feel a bit sorry for your 109... It got raeped HARD!!!

The P-80 was my favourite, What a slick aircraft. :P~

[toffvs]

You have been credited with a YouTube victory ;) One of the best games ever.....

[mikey1978416]

I loved this game. Winning the war for Germany with my Flying wing

[ex59neo53]

My first combat flight sim ... and still the most interesting I4VE ever played on .

Go 229/B 17 experience was unique :o)

[walmartian]

i was on acid when this released

[angelmon6]

so pro :o

[n0aimChris]

I'm still using the mousepad that came with my dad's game.

[zeppelin5000]

I loved this game!! Brings back childhood memories. I love the sound of bullets hitting the plane LOL

[guilhermeavbm]

The sound effects was so cool! xD

[EFKA526]

ebenfalls großartiges Game, genau wie Their Finest Hour. Das waren noch schöne Games.

[humpingbird]

nostalgic

[gpmurf]

All you had to do to defeat enemy AI was pull into the vertical, wait for them to disengage, then roll back in and pounce.  I flew one campaign until I had a score greater than Eric Hartmann :)

[CPTSir]

quante ore passate con questo!

Posso dire che ha dato inizio alla mia carriera di pilota virtuale!

Un affettuoso ricordo al mio vecchio 286 che a malapena lo faceva girare

[IBLOWN]

i loved this game. I swear it had better graphics .

[thxoneonethreeeight]

been waiting for Lucas to update this game with better graphics,, i still have the manuel to this game sitting right here on my desk. I used to play this game for hours till the sun would come up and i was so car sick ide be falling out of my chair. i still remember some missions i was on,

[EmphaticItalic]

Typical Lucas games style music :) Wonderful.

[Priscustirano]

there was a similar game for playstation2: secret weapons over normandy or similar

[snakestomper]

it was a "prequel" it starts in 1940 and get to june of 1944

[PraetorianPhalanx]

This is the flight sim that i enjoyed the most in all the years of gaming.

At the time it was a masterpiece.

No WW2 flight sim comes close to it.

Aaahh the good old days. :-D

[MadDawgAce03]

WOW I remember playing this game when I was just a little kid I remember everything about it still lol. The mustang's and the 229's are still my favorites to fly on any simulator game.

[logggge]

nur geil

[mutterschied]

Whadda wonder! Some poor retard (brain-aged 9) makin' vidwork!

[tenyardrambo]

i loved how you can be in a fighter and bomber and switch turrets!!! This game rocks!

[phantom12321]

yeah you had to turn on auto pilot and switch turrets. I got the game working on a DOS emulator. Sort of anyway, runs pretty crappy. More about nostalgia. Makes me wonder how I ever made progress in that game it was so hard to see stuff.

[jscharpf]

great memories thanks!

[ninjacouncilguild]

omfg i used to love this when i was young =)

[roccoschoko]

Fantastic game, one of my all time favourites for sure!

[Satadrian]

Oh well...

Actually there is 'Secret Eapons over Normandy'.

Its like 4 years old now...

[Lumotaku]

way better than its sequal released a couple of years ago. This was fun you could lfy a p38 and try to fight me 262s.

[Tremari0]

I remember this game!! ah the flashbacks! I was like 4 when i played it lol

[FredDude27]

It looks like the game Battle of Britain made by the same company. Wonder if they used the same game-engine?

[dsbiehl]

Yes they were. Both were made by LucasArts back in the early 90s.

Both awesome games. :)

[bpeck77]

Ahhh, I loved this game to death. The opening music is fantastic. It's both fun and evil at the same time! This was one of the first games that had a German-based campaign, too.

[Latvietis96]

wooow the graphics looks like from GTA IV and the physics looks like from the Il-2 sturmovik 1946... :D

[waider]

And you sound like a douchebag!!

[ModelFx]

Yes, but IL-2's flight model flies nothing like in real life.

[Latvietis96]

You knwo taht i`m just joking! LOL

[tpp27]

OMG NOSTALGIA AT ITS BEST!

[NackWeasel]

I used to love to play as a Nazi fighterpilot, and then when I'd shoot down a B-17, I'd wait for all the crew to bail out, and then I'd come back around and collapse all of their parachutes with machinegun fire!

[metalfusionf]

Yes, It was awesome :)

[ghettochef]

Geneva Convention

[NackWeasel]

yeah that's why I only did it when I played as the NAZI fighter pilot lol

[blindsniper79]

hey kawakasper, have you ever heard of IL-2 Sturmovik?

if you havnt go check it out, its my favourite flight sim out there and you can buy it off direct2drvir for 10 bucks - you can fly over 200 aircraft in IL-2 Sturmovik: 1946, you c an build your own missions from scratch, or you can play a dynamic campaign for any country.

you can play campaigns in the pacific, or campaigns on the western front.

[grooveclubhouse]

I played this game for hours as a kid. turns out that if you take a b-17 and fly under something like 25 feet the flack guns cant get u. I used to fly around and strafe with it. I bought secret weapons over normandy for the x box but was really disappointed. I WANT A REMAKE!!!

[zerstorer335]

Fly around? Heck, I'd just land in the middle of an oil field or airfield and machinegun the cr@p out of it.

I definitely second the vote for a remake.

[KyleFN]

@grooveclubhouse i too played this game for hours and hours on end when I was a kid. Loved it. Still have the box, discs, and the big ass book on all the planes that it came with.

I never tried Secret Weapons over Normandy though from the videos I've seen of it I don't think I would've liked it as much.

[RealPartyBoi]

Omg this sucks! Look at the shitty graphics! This was released in 2007! Should be way better!

[piratasdecordoba]

The game was released 1991, you dumbhead...

[Toyman07]

@piratasdecordoba

LOL! Before you were born eh dipshit?

[crazybread]

@piratasdecordoba Yeah dumbhead.

[GreatMewtwo]

@piratasdecordoba We want a 20th anniversary remake! I will handsomely credit them with a win. Not an aerial victory, but a win!

[STUGAUF01]

That was a good game! good like old Red Baron ! 5*

[lyden2006]

My thing was to chase the stragglers all the way back to their airfields in England til I had to bail, man that was a fun game..

[OK8888]

I used to play this game so much when I was a kid. I just hope I could get it to work properly on my winXP computer.

[skatingpts]

I was a big fan of getting in the ball gunner seat of the b17 and then just blowing the hell out of your own formation hahahah.

[pattrik24]

i always used to play as a b-17 gunner and just stick the plane on auto pilot haha. this game was amazing

[easyplex]

I demand a remake for the Playstation! Yeah, get to it Lucas! :D

[kooodeal]

Battleground Europe is the closest game to a modern upgrade of WWll games like these. I've played it for 8years online and they just keep making it bigger and better.

[LiviuFloreaRo]

try il-2 sturmovik

[fredocarroll]

Still can work with VDM Sound, which is a nice trip down memory lane. Only problem: I can't get takeoffs to work. It accelerates, but it stays firmly planted on the ground. Can't remember how to get it airborne.

[delta9crew]

love this game!

[Millger08]

lol a Game about the German Airforce, probably the only one ever

[Mast3rFr3aky]

Most WWII flight sims have German Campaigns.

[soulvacuum]

Best campaign mode ever. no game has done what this game did. I spent a summer with a single unlimited ammo unlimited damage P51 systematically destroying every piece of infrastructure the German's had. A single pilot won that war.

[slicktrx]

this game was so involved for its time.

spent years of my childhood playing this. pity i cant get it working on the new fancy pcs these days.

[Rythem4ever01]

An oldie but a goodie

[nibblebaby]

My favorite flight sim of all times.  Today's games have the beautiful graphics. This one had a very great campaign to it as well. I loved having the Germans research the secret weapons and loved how you could bring them to their knees by bombing all the oil supplies.....

[taofledermaus]

I had the expansions and everything for this game. It was so cutting edge at the time. It looks much better in my memory hehe.

[caserock]

i played this i dunno how many hours. i remember the guy at babbage's trying to talk me out of buying this because i was like 8. i'm glad i didn't listen to him.

[dizzyhorsie823]

Loved that game. Random fact: if you flew a B-17 and cranked the engine throttles up to 100% they'd catch fire.

[wii1712]

lol omg wtf xD^^

was fürn müll^^

[poofyfinger]

Holy mother. I remember this game playing on my 286 processor. Did have an 8bit soundblaster! though!

[takkitor]

Awesome! I almost blew my Highschool because of this game, LOL :-)

[MagicalWierdo]

holy crap...such nastolgic memories of this game. memories of this game are like memories of those epic watergun fights on those hot summer days or making snowmen when school was snowedout.

[tsuaFzneiH]

It sounded more like Jazz.

[systemdertoten]

hey... I have that game!!!!!!

[Phantomthemilfhunter]

I still have this game, in it's original box, at my mom and dad's house. I loved this game!

[Peatman]

I used to play this game sooo much! I've been looking for a download for a long time...but Lucasarts still has a firm grip on the copyright. What are they going to do, sell it for $30? Release it already!

[aforce82]

I've still got fond memories of playing this at my friends house because my computer was too slow lol

[kennyo21361]

amazing game

[mroblongo]

This game still have one of the best Campaing modes ever!.

[AFOSvideos]

Isnt it so nice how they give that pussy little space to see out of lol

[tednugent13]

ahh this brings back memories of me and my dad playing this game all the time i wish i still had dos

[nordistelillois]

Ok IL2 1946 is the best , but this game was and still is my first love <3<3<3

[Bjarkeah]

What a reminiscens! So lovely to see it again! :D

[GorillaDesperado]

I used to love this game, back in the day... but Secret Weapons over Normandy sux like electrolux.

(I still have this, box and all!)

[rafaelblancolopes]

im a nazi i like very much this game.

[Packerpride66]

Thank you for the memories !

[aldfkjldasfkj]

there WAS a remake/sequel, called Secret Weapons over Normandy

[petcali24]

unfortunately it was a real sad game "over Normandy"

[aldfkjldasfkj]

Yes, I was going to mention that but forgot. It was craptacularly disappointing and half-hearted. You couldn't even do a friggin' barrel roll (StarFox fans were disappointed especially)!

[tigerdirectz]

One of my first flight sims, played it when I was 5 or 6 years old.

[Rockapebates]

This game was awesome il sturmovik is basically an updated version of this

[hgentil]

I love SWOTL, it even arrived at the time to Colombia :)

[mljohns00]

SWOTL was one of the greatest air combat games in history. Too bad they never published a multi-player version. If so, I'd STILL be flying it.

[BVargas78]

swotl was the game that made me decide the PC and not the Amiga was the future!

[BVargas78]

swotl was the game that made me decide the PC and not the Amiga was the future!

[dlabby2002]

Say! I have played this game on my ancient 386SX back in the days when MS-DOS was the king! This was one of the BEST games! Thanks for bringing this video for us to enjoy our old memories!

[Martslad]

SWOTL & BOB, classic's. Still dig out the old Amiga and have a cheeky go on them sometimes. Havn't seen a version that will run on my new PC. Anybody any suggestions for the 2008 equivs?

[tigerdirectz]

Don't know if you know these already, but IL2-Sturmovik 1946 is pretty much the king of WWII flight sims at the moment, highly recommended. Also, the game Secret Weapons Over Normandy was published by Lucasarts as a sort of spiritual succesor to SWofLW, but it plays as more of an arcade game.

[KawaKasper]

sure, i know IL2, and its the best WW2 flightsim at the moment. But i still miss some fetures of SWotL, like the campaign-mode.

Also its not easy to handle all the planes in IL2( well, thats ok, its very realistic ), but i dont like the small maps...

[jdoernte]

I TOTALLY agree. The Campaign mode is really missing!!! the best part of the game.

[BadByte]

Same here. I miss SWotL's war campaign & the pilot career, those were fantastic (even when compared with today's games).

[Neurozumim]

You're telling me that in 15 years, no one has ever made another airfight war game with a campaign??? That's bizarre!?

[rw005g]

Also, I love the in-flight strategic map interface. Lots of other games dont have it like this, where you can take 3-4 minutes to analyze your path of attack, before you swoop down on enemy.

[rw005g]

I am 30 and first played this game when I was 14 or 15. It, along with other historical video games, got me interested in reading ww2 history books and books in general. It turned me into a history freak, persuadd me to go to college, and now I am a lawyer. All thanks to some ww2 video games. LOL

[collideherscope]

LOL, Thats awesome!

[danielpeterpresberge]

the music is so awesome xDDDD

[aribenzane]

PWND

[Docthewrench]

I still have this game in perfect condition I played it so much I really miss a good ww2 game

[WorldChallenge]

I stunk badly.

[ar15expert]

Ahhh, memories.

[KrautGoesWild]

Same here. 1064 kills with the GO229 (multiple Tours Of Duty).

Someone do a remake, damnit!!

[ar15expert]

Hell yea. I've been playing IL-2, and it's cool, but not quite the same. :)

[captaintripps6969]

My God, I'd forgotten how horrid the opening song is! I used to love it...

[spacemonkeyjim]

Despite the slightly doggy graphics in this fine old game the depth was astounding. There was a squeal of sorts, secret weapons over Normandy, but it was an "action" game and included such gems as telling you there was a bunch of 109's on a runway and I should strafe them only to tell me they had taken off a second later, the whole game was just plain shoddy and it did not include the go229, disappointments all round with that one.

[zerstorer335]

Personally, I think all it really had in common with SWOTL was 1) the setting, and 2) the people who made it. So, by the same logic, I'm not my own person, but a sequel to my older brother because we have the same parents.

[jbird38]

I used to get so mad that: A)I couldnt get the timing right on the B-17 Norden sight B)When I tried moving the sight, it would suddenly jump to the wrong spot and throw off my aim! Overall I loved the game though.

[battledwaf1]

Ahhh, I remember the aces series, Aces over europe, and Aces over the pacific, instant classics, and still provide cheap entertainment. I still break out the old windows 95 comp and atari 4 a qucik fix :P

[amyvdaamy]

true

[Harmon1ca]

My first PC game, oh the memories. This one is definitely a classic!

[KiltGaston]

aaah, this brings back memories. this was one of the first games I played as a young boy alongside DOOM and Aces of the Pacific, and I remember just how happy I was to be able to man any gunner position in the B-17 and the surprise I felt when I shot up someone's chute for the first time. thanks for the video!

[zerstorer335]

Good memories- and I've still yet to find a sim where destroying the oil reserves or production plants would have an actual impact on the enemies you faced later.

[KawaKasper]

yes that was a nice feauture of the game

[wjskyout]

Wow, I forgot how much progress has been made in sims in the last 17 years. Wonder what they will look like in another 17 years?

[McDuffee01]

one of the greatest fighter games on MS-DOS PC´s! I wanna have it! Any suggestions?

[Punishermk22]

omg my brthers owns this game

[Kuula10]

Very nice memories came to me when i saw this i still have orginal diskettes and the all expansion plane diskettes and the manuals thanks for this video i might install the game again to my old computer oh and i must search the password cicle too i hope it isint missing

[rodsky71]

It's amazing to think that, while I was playing this sim oh so many years ago, I was so CONTENT with the quality of the graphics. Well, yes I wanted better graphics, but I had a hard time imagining if the graphics you see in sims like IL2, PF, or 1946 would actually be achieved.

[BlizBob]

I loved this game! I've still got it but I lost the damn disc with the codes.

[storminnorman99]

this was my all time fav game as a young fella. this one and football manager II are the only ones that survived.

[Wickydeviking]

Oh man I loved this game so much I forgot to go to primary school one day hahaha!

[NackWeasel]

I always loved the theme of this game. I wish there was a place to download that, or that someone would make an updated version of it or something...

[groundctrl77]

I made a rock version of it, here;

watch?v=Vfzfd1-ft34
