Description from the packaging.
You are about to undertake the most daring R.A.F. bombing mission of World War II. A mission so perilous it would have almost certainly failed if not for the extraordinary skill and daring of Wing Commander Guy Gibson.
Reality will sink in immediately once you see the full cockpit rendition in front of you. More than a game, this is a real mission with a very real objective! In fact, this is a more exciting, more realistic flight simulator with more real action than you have every experienced. Your palms will sweat as you hold tightly to the joystick, forced to fend off one attack after another with split-second timing on the way to your appointed target.
This pilot screen is like no other flight simulator. The joystick control behaves like a real Lancaster Bomber, on your midnight mission across Nazi Germany. You'll need all the skill at your command to master the complex instrument panel, plus nerves of steel to survive enemy barrage balloons, search lights and ME-110 night fighters.
A strategic approach to the target is crucial to the success of your mission. To avoid harm's way you will have to carefully scrutinize the map of enemy occupied Europe. Different colored symbols represent the concentration and magnitude of Nazi landmarks: military installations, airports, population centers and industrial complexes. The successful pursuit of your objective will eventually be threatened by each of these landmarks.
Your final run to the dam is the ultimate test, as each parameter- airspeed, distance, and altitude- must be set absolutely perfectly for the bomb to destroy the dam. White knuckle time. One wrong move here, even the slightest miscalculation, and the mission will literally self-destruct.
