Bombs Away	Creative Computing	198?	worldwar worldwar2	David Ahl modified the original program which was created by David Sherman while a student at Curtis Jr. High School, Sudbury, Massachusetts. The program listing was published in David Ahl's book BASIC Computer Games by Creative Computing in 1978. [GeeTee]*You fly a World War II bomber for one of the four protagonists of the war. Select your target or the type of plane you are flying. Depending on your flying experience and the quality of the enemy defenders, you may then accomplish your mission, get shot down, or make it back through enemy fire. In any case, you get a chance to fly again. [GeeTee]*[media=youtube]5zSdJz8ZNE0[/media]

Fifty Mission Crush	SSI	1986	1940s 20thcentury aerodyne aeroplane aircraft-b17-flyingfortress bomberaircraft earth europe france germany group latemodernperiod militantprotagonist naturalistic past veterancy worldwar worldwar2 xp-literal xp-progress	"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.

Real-time pont-and-click world war (WWI, WWII, WWIII) update of the <a href="../lista4.asp?fname=Modem%20Wars">Modem Wars</a> concept, Danielle Bunten admits that the Axis and Alies board game influenced deveopelment of this game. The WWIII simulation was inspired by Tom Clancy's Red Storm Rising but includes nukes. This game was later updated with Dani's authorization by a group of fans. There was a Win9x version planned, but it was cancled when Mindscape took over Microprose.
