After taking control of a B-17 bomber the player must select a destination and bomb it in order to score points. When piloting the bomber the player controls the bomber from the first person perspective and shoots targets for points.

The controls for this World War II Flight Simulator for the Intellivision were quite innovative for a console at the time.  Players could push the number keys on their Intellivision game pad which corresponded with the different crew positions on the B-17 Bomber.  For example, the 3 key corresponded to the 3 o'clock gunner position, and so on.

This title also featured Intellivoicesupport which allowed the game to output voice in addition to it's basic MIDI sounds.  Examples of the sounds included were your bombardier saying, "Bombs away!" and other crewmembers yelling out the direction of enemy fighters,"Fighters, 3 o'clock!"
