Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe - Campaign Mission

[jplongenecker]

Wow I miss this game. Good times

[nibblebaby]

Wow I have been playing this game since it came out, and I never knew you could place your bombers so close to the target!!! I was always getting the luftwaffe to attack my bombers over England and would rarely ever make it to the target. Plus the escorts as well? Nice, I always tried to get the escorts to fly to the bombers as fast as possible and usually always lost.

A great old game. I really liked playing it back in the day. Thanks for the vid. :).

[barron8006]

where can one get this for download. can't find it on the net, except one site, but it wont work on dosbox

[SteelTwilight]

I first played this when I was 6 years old, and used to play it every day. To this day my favourite plane is still the B-17.

R.I.P.

They should make a remake of this game. Keep the strategy and allow us to fly all the planes. Remember flying around like crazy and trying to shoot at everything I could. This truely is an amazing game.

Got a sudden craving for reenacting my youth. - Downloaded SWOTL from the internet (my old diskettes have given in). A little fiddling with windows, but works somewhat ok. But All my bombs keep missing. Dont think I can find the instruction booklet any more.

[KawaKasper]

google for -The SWOTL Web Site Home Page -

take a look under secrets and hints, there´s a good tut for bombing runs, and other good tips.

Man!!! this game looks like it was made in 1945 haha. But I belive it would be a great concept for a modern 3d game. But there's a similar game called B-17. The game is just a shooter game but if it had concepts like this would have been great.

[m1rock]

@chamath1985 B-17 the Mighty Eight? That's not a shooter game thats a full on flight simulator.  That game is awesome.

[chamath1985]

@m1rock nope friend. The game I'm talking is a shooter game. In fact, this game's gameplay is quite similar to it but nothing about strategies, yo just get a mission to fly and and you shoot n bomb just like in this game. The game was made in somewhere between late 90s and early 2000s. Funny part is that I can't find it here on the internet :( I have the CD but when I Google about the game it's nowhere to be found

[m1rock]

@chamath1985 Interesting. The one Im talking about was developed my MicroProse around 2000 I think. Basically it allows you to manage every aspect of a B-17 crew. You can pick your targets to a limited extent and have your navigator set up your way-points. If you like WWII flight sims I definitely recommend it. I dont think there has ever been a game quite like it. The graphics hold up fairly well too for a game thats about a decade old.

[chamath1985]

@m1rock hehe that's kinda strange. The graphics in my one is much better but still a modern teen would say old school game for my one. It's all about guns guns guns hehe. BTW you need to bomb the target accurately. The game starts very easy and ends almost impossible to play in front of excessive enemy AA planes and Multiple Heinkels.

[fishcop444]

Because of this game, I got alot of "C" in college. It was awesome. Great mix of strategy and flight sim.

[iris030380]

Killed this back in 1993-1994; even though I pretty much hate flight sims until Evasive Action and F14-Fleet Defender.

[jros83]

not really, i think its a mish-mash of different old time patriotic music, though recognizable bits from over there do feature prominently. but if you want to split hairs, over there was more a WW1 thing, not 2.

[Docthewrench]

WOW i still have this CD from back in the day I loved this game I played it on a week 486 x25 with 2 megs of ram I have tried to get the CD to run but I dont know how to with XP but its still in like NEW condition :)

[DavidMcMahon1]

Maybe dos box?

[Docthewrench]

I have tried some dos emulators but never got them to work

[Dissent37]

Should've cut in clips of the replay so we could seen whether or not the bombs hit.

[kylerake]

This was a great game

[synthead]

This game is so damn good

[januseva]

I love this game so much, I played it about 23 million times as a kid. How are you playing it now and wow your sound effects sound SO much more enhanced than how it sounded on the IBM I played it on! Is there some way to download this game now or something?

[aforce82]

It'd be great if they re-made this game!

[mroblongo]

B17 missions in the campaing were impossible...enemy keeps coming and coming and coming...endlessly...lol. And the secondary objectives could only be acomplished ifg you hit a ground target...

Usually ended starting with a P47.. shooting some rockets to something and then going away :D.

[jdoernte]

funny, in my memory, the game had MUCH better graphics! but great to see it. I wish I still had my 386!!!

[grooveclubhouse]

ahh yes. the good old drone of the b 17. Thing could take a beating. If my plane got shot up really bad id fly all the way home and try to land it. This was a good game.

[Bjarkeah]

Thanks for posting! Damn I played that a lot when I was a little kid! Loved it! What nostalgic feeling to see this video and hear the sounds again!

[dlabby2002]

Hey, thanks again for another installation of SWOTL exhibiton! Brought back many good memories of simpler days of MS-DOS ;)

[omniser]

ouch
