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 - the 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 ration 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 difficult was your 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. Startiung 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 - you 50 mission crush.
The Earth shook from the roar of the Luftwaffe and the RAF took to the skies... The challenge was met!In August of 1940 the German forces began the first stage of their planned assault on Great Britain: the annihilation of the British Royal Air Force.Outnumbering the British three-to-one in air power, the Germans were confident in their ability to accomplish this task. On August 13th, 1940, Eagle Day, the German Luftwaffe began its bombing of airfields. The Battle of Britain had begun.The skill of the RAF pilots and the unity of the British population stunner the German Commanders. At one point Field Marshall Goering confessed to a German general: We'd forgotten that the English fight best with their backs to the wall.”The Luftwaffe continued flying raids for the next five weeks with airfields, major cities and radar stations as targets. The British used their advantages of radar and superior air combat tactics in holding back the German onslaught. High morale and leadership were probably the most significant factors in the British stand against the Luftwaffe. The British won the battle and turned the tide of World War II.Now it's your turn to command the Luftwaffe or R.A.F. in this massively scaled simulation of the Battle of Britain. You now have the chance to rewrite or relive the strategies of one of the greatest battles ever fought in the air.
This is the grand daddy of the flight simulation programs. The initial version was set up on a 6 x 6 square with the two further enhanced versions of Version 1.x on 12 x 12 setups. It is fun to look back and see how far Flight Simulation has progressed since this was released.
This version of Flight Simulator was the first one to introduce life-like graphics into the game. While it is still primative by today's standards, for the time, it was a major jump in technology.
Take your marble to the top. Pick your spot and let it drop. It's better to flip than to be a flop! This is a truly unique strategy game, designed for either one or two players.

It is your job to get your marbles to drop through this tricky little maze before your opponent does. So take your time and think before you drop. There are nine different courses of play you'll just flip over!
This is a game produced by MECC for US Historircal simulations. The game places you in the Underground Railroad of the 1830's as a slave trying to escape the south and make your way north. The program was controversial for its content because some parents felt that it was racial in its approach to calling the female players Girl and the male players Boy.
