About Megafortress Collection
Take to the skies for gripping air-assault missions with the Megafortress Collection. This complete package includes the original 1991 DOS classic Megafortress, the Operation Sledgehammer and Operation Skymaster expansions, and the Mission Editor for Operation Skymaster.
The Megafortress is a radically modified B-52 bomber with advanced stealth capabilities and enough firepower to destroy heavily fortified enemy installations. It’s a huge, complex aircraft that demands attention to a dizzying array of tasks. The original Manual and a new Quick Start Guide are included with this release of the game to aid those who would seek to master control of this devastating aircraft, precisely simulated by the visionary developers of Artech Studios.
Assume multiple roles, including Pilot, Navigator, Electronic Warfare Officer, and Offensive Weapons Officer as you conduct air assaults on historic battlefronts around the world.
The first expansion, Operation Sledgehammer, adds 25 new missions in Iran and Libya, with new enemy targets including terrorist training camps, port facilities, submarines, nuclear research facilities and more. It also adds new SAMs to enemy weaponry and new ordnance to the Megafortress such as the CBU-95 FAE and Penguin MK 3 anti-ship missiles.
The second expansion, Operation Skymaster, includes 21 missions in the Korean peninsula and the Philippines, with new targets such as Chinese amphibious vessels and North Korean fat attack craft flotillas. New enemy tactical aircraft and defenses also appear, such as the Chinese HQ-61 SAM system. It also includes the ultimate challenge campaign in Dragonslayer, where the Megafortress must take down a North Korean nuclear doomsday device.

I got this game a month ago but haven't played it yet until today as I write this review (AW... SHAME ON ME!!!) This is an oldschool gem I loved to play with my father. I also have an uncle who flew the B-52 in Nam and Desert Storm. Did this for real I think he may have also flown in Libya! I love this game! Its like Dangerous waters with the Orion. Very similar to F-19 TOO!!13 found this helpful
Played the original "Megafortress" when it was first released 32 years ago - STILL LOVE IT!12 found this helpful
This game would be awesome if it was remade with todays graphics11 found this helpful
It's great to see this old classic trilogy updated for modern machines and bundled into one package at such a great price. A 180 page manual tells you all you need to know about the level of attention to detail herein. Yes, it looks dated but it's still an awesome study sim of all the crew positions and what they do in combat. Lots of campaigns with dozens of missions and a mission editor to boot. The fact that it's based on one of my favourite techno thrillers from back in the day, Flight of the Old Dog (Dale Brown), is gravy for the goose.9 found this helpful
One of the most unique flight sims ever made. Played this back in the day. It's absolutely amazing. Needs a modern remake with coop to man the various stations and maybe add the B-1 and B-2........4 found this helpful
More systems simulation than stick and throttle game, Megafortress Collection is an old sim that still finds itself being playable to this day. It's a compelling sim about a fictional B-52 variant dubbed "The Old Dog" as portrayed in Dale Brown's "Flight of the Old Dog." Yeah, this is from when devs made game adaptations of books. You are not an air superiority fighter, you are to avoid enemies, radar, and SAMs by relying on the EB-52's EW suite and low altitude capabilities. Yes, this is very much a 90s vision of a Cold War mission set and it's glorious. You'll be switching between pilot, copilot, navigator, EWO, and WSO to get the job done. For 8 bucks, it's great. In fact, if you want a sim on the go, this would be a good fit for a laptop. Expect no advanced flight model and you'll be good to go. It's from '91, what did you expect? Effort? Yeah, there's effort. So, it's fun.3 found this helpful
