Admiral Graf Spee	Temptation	1984	A game based on historically accurate records of the Graf Spee's killer expedition in the North and South Atlantic. An intermittent flashing pixel on your chart denotes the presence of an enemy ship in the Atlantic. The year is 1940, as Captain of the Admiral Graf Spee your task is to sink all enemy shipping in these waters using your six 11" guns and torpedoes. Search the area, locate the ship and using your instrumental display, which includes variable speed, compass headings, fuel, target distance, compass bearings, ammunition and torpedo state, manoeuvre into visual range ready for the kill BUT the enemy can take evasive action - refuelling makes your position vulnerable and British cruisers and battleships are seeking to destroy you. To make your search and pursuit a constant challenge the enemy ships are relocated whilst you take on fuel. 7 levels of difficulty from EASY to PRACTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE.

Fifty Mission Crush	SSI	1984	"50 Mission Crush" was the name given to the crushed service cap worn by the battle-hardened veteran pilots of the B-17. It was a mark of distinction and honor. It is now the name of this exciting and unique role-playing wargame. 50 Mission Crush puts you in the cockpit as pilot of the most glamorous bomber of World War II - B-17 Flying Fortress. As part of the 8th Air Force 306 Bomber Group, you must try to survive fifty harrowing raids over France and Germany. Everything about this game is historically accurate, right down to the name of your bomber: "Impatient Virgin". The action is also real... fast and intense! Like a real B-17 commander, you'll have full control of your bomber and your gunners. You'll determine the bomb/fuel ratio your plane will carry on each mission, and how you'll fly (high or low altitude). After each mission (if you've survived!), you'll be evaluated by the computer and awarded points based on such factors as: How dificult was the mission? How accurate was your bombing? How many enemy planes did you shoot down (Don't forget enemy fighters get better at shooting down B-17's as time goes by!)? The more points you get, the closer you'll be to a promotion. Starting off as a Lieutenant, you'll be able to make it all the way to Brigadier General! But for all its luster, the General's bright shiny star will pale to a mere battered cap - your 50 mission crush.

Spitfire Ace	Microprose;U.S. Gold (Microprose)	1984	[15]* [48]*The original US version from Microprose is a little bit different from the version released in Europe a bit later by U.S. Gold. The U.S. Gold version has visible cockpit graphics and part of the menu structure are different. The difference in this case didn't feel big enough to warrant two separate entries, because the gameplay and graphics engine as well as the missions stayed exactly the same.

1942	Elite	1986	It is 1942, and war is raging in the Pacific. The enemy's fleet and airforce are growing in strength. It is up to you to restrict their numbers in a daring solo mission your carrier will take you as far as it dares, but from then on you are all alone. Fly your plane over enemy territory and installations, scattered islands and rough terrain. Smart manoeuvring and skilful aerobatics are required to outwit the enemy planes, recovering the mystery "POW" er capsules will give your plane extra capabilities. Be prepared, enemy gunners have their sights set on you, and their pilots are prepared to die to thwart you mission. The carrier awaits your safe return — but have you the skill to survive!!??* [2]* [77]* [52]* [127]* [3]* [2]* [85]* [4]* [57]* [52]* [52]*one of the first games I had and years later I still kept playing it - it's fun fun fun, has a lot of action, and the music is entertaining.. ok 15 years later the music becomes annoying and graphics are very basic, but still I have good memories of this great game !
