First Over Germany on the Commodore 64 is a turn-based World War II air combat sim from SSI where you lead a formation of U.S. B-17 Flying Fortresses on daylight bombing raids into Nazi-occupied Europe. Instead of flying a single bomber, you act as mission commander, planning routes, altitudes, and target priorities on a strategic map, then stepping through the raid as German fighters and flak batteries whittle away at your formation. You monitor damage, order changes in formation or altitude, and try to keep enough planes intact to deliver an effective bomb load on the target and still limp home to England. It’s a numbers-heavy, procedural game that emphasizes attrition, planning, and survival over arcade-style flying, capturing the brutal grind of sustained strategic bombing campaigns.
