Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe

Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe (1991)

Genres:Strategy, Simulator
Themes:Action, Historical, Warfare
Game modes:Single player
Story:After the success of the simulation titles Their Finest Hour: The Battle of Britain® and Battlehawks 1942 in the late 80s, LucasArts decided to follow up those games with another World War II simulation title: Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe. Released in August 1991, the game followed the campaign by the US 8th Air Force to cripple the German Luftwaffe during the final years of World War II. Players could fly in either American or German warplanes. The game was remarkable because many of the playable airplanes were still under development during the war. In other words, the planes were never used extensively in battle, so players could explore “what if ” possibilities with the game. Those possibilities were further expanded by four Tour of Duty expansion packs. The planes in those expansions included the P-38 Lighting, a twin-engine escort fighter and the German Do335, an interceptor aircraft that featured a conventional tractor propeller in the nose as well as a pusher propeller behind the tail of the aircraft.Show more

While the game planes were sprites, the game features a quite unique dynamic campaign and it's quite fun and with a good replay value. You may use a bombers and fighters, with few game modes. It's one of the great hits of LucasArts games.

This game started to me the urge to know more about the 2ns war and all its planes, from both sides. It was very fun to play, and , for the time, revolutionary and realist. I enjoed so much to go on bombing runs, or, the oppsite side, defending the bombers. I can recall heroic moments, very nice time played,. The manual was a book increidible, full of information, really useful. I learned a lot, and I passed very enjoyable time playing it. Por favor, decvuelvánlo a la vida!! We need it.

Played this game for hundreds of hours, and devoured it's manual several times. Bought it around the Easter of "93, the game was mind blowing back then, and stayed as one of my favorites for more than 2 years. Not only one could play in long career mode, with several tours of duty, as you could also play in campaign mode, directing the forces from your side. I would like to see this game on gog, with the 4 add-on planes.

This game is my "most loved and played" Game since i had have a pc. To be honest i need to say, i play it even today, but what a dream would come true, if this game comes back, maybe in a little remake. It is hard to play it under Win10, because i need to work with the DOS-Box. Isnt this a perfect work for you, to make it playable under Win10 or Win 11 ?

I loved this game! It helps me to learn more about the 2ns war. The printed manual is one of the best that I seen, very accurate in describing the planes. Lucasfilm, come back again please!

This was the game that made me convince my dad to buy our first PC! I used to have Battle of Britain on the Amiga prior to that but this was such a step up! Would love to play it again.
i have more hours in this game than in the bed XD this should be preserved as a treasure and the campaigne mode copied in a remake since for me was the most fun part

It was my first air combat game. Allowed me to experience dogfighting, bombing runs, multiple gunning positions on bombers for the first time. Play over a thousand hours solo. Being in dogfights with multiple planes, managing fuel, ammo, rockets & bombs. Gog has been my go to provider for old but goodie games.

Black & White 2
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.
