About this product

Product Information

Like the original B-17 Flying Fortress, B-17 Flying Fortress: The Mighty 8th offers gamers a sophisticated flight sim with a strong emphasis on realism and historical accuracy. Players join an elite WWII squadron based upon the United States Army Air Corp 8th Bomber Command, which was the division responsible for many dangerous daylight bombing runs deep into enemy territory to knock out important enemy production centers and supply lines. Players will see action from all perspectives in this game, playing ten different crew positions that existed on the actual planes. Players will take on the role of the pilot, the co-pilot, the navigator, the radio operator the bombardier, and several gunner positions in different missions. Remote targets and enemy resistance will call for efficient teamwork to complete mission goals. B-17 Flying Fortress: The Might 8th is displayed in full 3D and features authentic, highly detailed planes, interiors and cockpits.

    Great classic game

    Excellent gameplay. Graphics are somewhat dated, but were outstanding back when this game was released. Still a great gaming experience. Interaction with the crew of a B-17 in flight on historic bombing missions during World War II. Player can man various positions within the airplane as bomber or gunner to drop bombs on target or fend off enemy aircraft attacking the bomber formations. Player can change into various fighter aircraft as German or American pilots. User manual helps to guide the player step by step in easy to read content. Love the game - very unique - don't think there's ever been another game similar to this. Glad I found this game again - had it several years ago. Highly recommend.

  • B-17 Flying Fortress II: The Mighty Eight for Windows

    Graphics are someonewhat dated but as to be expected based on manufacture date of the game. Unfortunately, this game cannot be played and enjoyed until a complex set of individual key or combination keyboard stroke commands are mastered. The CD does allow reference to the game manual, but realistically, you need a copy printed out for reference purposes and that is going to take time. If you were hoping for a simple, quickly matered simulation, don't buy this game. Its going to take time and effort to learn how to fly a B17! Sadly, I think I would stand a better chance of learning how to fly the real thing, rather than a keyboard driven version. Perhaps in time, and with some success, my rating for this game will go up.

  • Putting yourself within History

    As an enthusiast of Warbirds, and their fight to ensure our country's freedoms, being able to place myself into history, aboard our magnificent Flying Fortress, cemented my honoring of the deeds those men did for our benefit. This "game" is as real as it gets! Although one does not endure the hardships of those, on these missions, you definately understand the endurance needed. Grueling long-distance runs, uneventful time spans and exilarating action sequences all put the reality of our airmen into your grasp. This is not for the impatient gamer. If you are looking for full-out action, stick with other combat sims. If you want to experience history, as it was made, this is the sim for you. You will acquire a new respect for the B-17G, and its crew members! Enjoy!! You are able to take ...

  • Good price, good shipping,, good overall experience...

    Price was right for a new item. Works flawlessly on Windows 7. (I use a 64bit AMD processor...) I happen to have a fondness for the B-17, the P-51 Mustang* the A-10 Tank Killer and the SR-51 Blackhawk,: all for very different reasons. (*with the Merlin Engine of course;) Was lucky enough to have the privilege of riding behind the pilot on a Flying Fortress a few years back, for the better part of a half and hour. Will never forget it.

  • Shoot first all Tail Gunners

    Great graphics, great interactive modes and ability to switch between aggressor and defender is superb experience. Also, players have the option of staying "in action" or watching fighter attacks from slightly outside the Bomber formation. Ideal for group players as you can become command pilot, wing commander or any of the crew members on any of a long list of bombing campaigns and missions. Fighter attacks are so realistic it takes a little nerve to "stay on your gun". From start engines to navigation and return and landing you are in total control. Realistic, interactive cockpit controls and ability to swap positions in-flight. Bail-out when the action gets too tough and your "17" is shot down. Bomb runs and Norden Technology 100% interactive and accurate. This is the "ultimate" WWII ...
