The moving graphics are very good indeed... Bomb aiming is fairly easy using the convergent light principle the actual bombers used. Read Review

Full Instructions
Dam Busters
How many direct hits can you score? How many points can you accumulate? Will you ever be as successful as the famous 617 Squadron and blast the Mohnesee Dam to destruction with the revolutionary bouncing bomb?
Flying low, to avoid enemy fighter planes and heavy anti-aircraft fire from the hidden gun batteries, you must skillfully pilot your bomber to the correct altitude by matching the converging searchlights on the water's surface below.
Once on target then hold on to your nerves until you reach the correct distance from the dam (displayed on your counter indicator) when you can release the bouncing bomb on its journey of destruction.
Each successful mission accomplished moves you to the next level of difficulty.
