About the Game

25 Missions

Bomber 3 is not a flight simulator, it is an intensely realistic action-adventure recreating the sights, sounds, and split-second decisions of the young B-17 crews in the skies of Nazi Germany. Digitized sound, Animations, and a ten-man crew to talk you through the tough ones.


And so it goes for twenty-five missions, Assuming, of course, you make it home from this one.

You are in control

Put yourself in the captain’s seat of a B-17 bomber, select your plane, select your crew and plot your path over war-torn Europe. Watch your elevation, watch your formation, and watch very carefully where you were over the target. This classic was a bestseller in the early 1990s.

Deadly Games Classic Reborn
