B-1 Nuclear Bomber is a flight simulator developed by Avalon Hill and Microcomputer Games and released in 1980 for the Apple II and other computers.[2][3] The game is based on piloting a B-1 Lancer to its target and dropping a nuclear bomb.[4] The USSR is one of the target countries.
Gameplay[edit]
The game box details a sample scenario set in the then-future of a bombing run over Moscow on July 1, 1991, which turned out to be just months before the official dissolution of the Soviet Union on December 26 of that year.
Reception[edit]
Us B 1 Bombers
Larry Kerns reviewed B-1 Nuclear Bomber in The Space Gamer No. 33. Kerns commented that 'Overall, I feel that the [...] price tag is too high and the game is quickly boring. The big fancy box is a waste and although putting all three languages on one tape is an innovative idea, two-thirds of what you bought is wasted. I expected more from Avalon Hill's baby but was disappointed. I hope their other new games are better.'[5]
Chris Cummings reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World, and stated that 'B-1 Nuclear Bomber [...] will bring hours of fun, especially to the war monger who has always wondered what it would be like to sit in the cockpit of a sophisticated flying machine and drop a nuclear load on the 'enemy'.'[6]
In March 1983 B-1 Nuclear Bomber tied for eighth place in Softline's Dog of the Year awards 'for badness in computer games', Atari 8-bit family division, based on reader submissions.[7] A 1992 Computer Gaming World survey of wargames with modern settings gave the game zero stars out of five, stating that 'its play mechanics were embarrassing when it was initially released'.[8] The magazine in 1994 said that AH's games such as B-1 'were dated even when they were released back on the old 8-bit machines'.[9]
