Now this is a game I want to see. It puts you on the crew of an 8th AF B-17, bombing Germany in WWII. Being in the AF, a history buff, and a game nut, this is right up my alley. From what I've read, you can choose to play as any of the crew, and I think you can even jump into one of the P-51 escorts and chase a few ME-109s around. Sounds like an interesting game, what do you all think?

Yeah, it looks pretty damn good. The only thing I will miss is the Multiplayer option. I sure hope they can patch it on later.
I owned F15 for my old Commodore 64, and will buy B-17. Good bookends I think, as this will likely be Microprose's last real sim. I certainly hope not. Janes gone, Microprose gone, good lord, who will bring us wonderful sims??
Wait..there is Rowan and Empire http://www.sharkyforums.com/ubb/smile.gif Battle of Britain looks...amazing http://www.sharkyforums.com/ubb/smile.gif
Perhaps it'll match the old Lucasarts BoB game!

Oooooh!
You lucky devil! My copy went AWOL in a move about 8 years ago. Then again, BoB is probably a lot like Space 1999. It was amazing when I was younger, but on recent watching, it pretty much sucks!
Hehe.
That's why I am going to buy the first season on DVD when it's available :>
