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!

Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water
Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black WaterFatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water is a survival horror video game developed by Koei Tecmo and published by Nintendo for the Wii U. The fifth main entry in the Fatal Frame series, it was released in Japan in September 2014 and worldwide in October 2015. As with previous games in the series, players navigate areas filled with hostile ghosts which must be fought by taking photographs using the Camera Obscura, which is directly controlled using the Wii U gamepad. A post-endgame story featuring Ayane, a character from the company's Dead or Alive series, is also available featuring altered gameplay mechanics. The story, which is set on the fictional Hikami Mountain, focuses on three protagonists who are drawn into supernatural events revolving the area, including an ancient ritual to seal away Yomi, a malevolent force corrupting the surrounding spirits that is tied to the fate of the titular shrine maiden Ouse Kurosawa. Planning for the game began in 2011, during the projection of the Wii remake of Crimson Butterfly. The game was first proposed by series co-creator Keisuke Kikuchi when he saw the Wii U hardware and the possibilities of the gamepad becoming the Camera Obscura. The game was a joint production effort between Koei Tecmo and Nintendo Software Planning & Development, with Kikuchi and fellow co-creator Makoto Shibata returning as to their respective posts of producer and director, together with staff from the previous series entry Mask of the Lunar Eclipse and developers new to the series. The cast went through several revisions during development, while the staff experimented with the capacities of the new hardware. As with previous games, it features a theme song by Tsuki Amano. Upon release, the game received critical acclaim for its use of the gamepad and dark atmosphere, while opinions were mixed on its story, portrayal of its female characters, and other aspects such as its pacing and controls.

Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter
Breath of Fire: Dragon QuarterBreath of Fire: Dragon Quarter is a radical departure from the previous titles of the Breath of Fire series, and in some ways from standard Japanese-style role-playing games in general. The game is built like a huge dungeon crawler, with no overworld map. The combat is tactical: each character has action points (AP), which can be used to move around the screen during an enemy encounter, and perform a variety of combo attacks. There is no magic in the game, and many of the items found in dungeons are random. All the enemies are visible on screen. Depending on who first initiated a physical contact, the party or the enemies get an extra turn in battles. The game allows (and even encourages) the player to restart it from the beginning, keeping the items and the party experience. The game also features a special counter - Ryu can use his traditional dragon transformation abilities, but the counter raises with each such transformation, and when the counter reaches 100, the game is over. Raising the D-ratio allows characters to access new areas every time the game is replayed.
