Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe

Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe (1991)

by Lucasfilm Games
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.

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.

1830: Railroads & Robber Barons
1830: Railroads & Robber Barons1830 is a railroad game set in the northeastern United States and southern Canada. You assume the identity of a railroad “Baron” and act as “President” of one or more Railroad Corporations. Your goal is to earn money. Money is earned mainly through owning shares of stock in the eight Railroad Corporations. Stock shares make money in two ways-they can provide ready cash via dividend payments, and they can increase in value. If you’re the single largest stockholder in a Railroad Corporation, you become its President and operate its railroad, ideally, but not necessarily, for the benefit of all stockholders. The game ends when either: 1. A Baron goes bankrupt; or 2. The Bank runs out of money. The winner is the wealthiest Baron at game end.
