Description

Luftwaffe is a simulation in game in which the player commands two squadrons on a bombing raid over France during World War II. The player must deliver a bomb or rocket to at least one target. The German Luftwaffe will try to prevent the player from reaching this goal. In essence this game is a Star Trek variant. Commands available to the player are: Move planes, scan, fire rocket and bomb. Planes move through quadrants, but unlike most Star Trek games there's no warp speed so movement is much slower.
