I have Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe and it is very good (on a 486 - I wouldn't recommend it on a 286). I have seen a good review of Aces of the Pacific (again it needs a fast PC), but I've not played it. I have played Battle of Britain: Their Finest Hour (same people as did SWOTL, but slightly older game). |> |> By the way, why isn't there a comp.sys.ibm.pc.games newsgroup, |> similar to the one for Macs?
