Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe
DOS version
Awesome variety of aircraft and missions
The Good
Lots of different aircraft and missions. Wonderfully imaginative. The individual aircraft sounds were a treat and were pleasingly exotic for the advanced German aircraft. Mission recorder was a nice touch. The game's open architecture was a wonderful training ground for budding game hackers. :-)
On a side note, LucasFilm Games had an 800 number you could call for SWOTL game hints. I called the number once to hear a recording of what sounded like a kindly grandmother offering pointers on air combat tactics. :-D
The Bad
3D renderings were a little subpar even for a game released in 1991. The B-17 missions were overly simplified.
The Bottom Line
Wonderful variety, loads of fun.
