Prepare for take off in this exciting simulation of the famous raid on German dams during World War 2.

You begin in flying school and your object is to blow up the dams of the Upper Ruhr.

Take control of a Lancaster Bomber and fly from England, eventually arriving at the dam where you must carefully aim your bouncing bomb so as to explode against the dam wall.

After successfully breaching the sam you will be promoted to pilot and after each further accomplished mission you are also promoted until you reach the rank of group captain.

Your plane is equipped with machine guns and of course the bombs.

Whilst crossing the channel you may be attacked by ships firing radar controlled missiles and on reaching Europe you will be confronted by enemy fighter aircraft and ack-ack guns.

Be careful not to run out of fuel, though this is replenished after each mission.

Dambusters features reasonable graphics incorporated on a horizontal and vertical scrolling screen. Sound effects are also quite good, on the whole the game is quite realistic but I found it a little on the slow side. Good luck old boy, roger and out.
