Download Their Finest Hour - The Battle Of Britain_Disk2 ROM – Amiga Game

If you've ever wanted to feel the tension of scrambling RAF pilots rushing to their Hurricanes while German bombers darken the sky, Their Finest Hour nails that atmosphere. It's the second of Lucasfilm's Amiga flight sims, and it throws you right into the 1940 Battle of Britain with a surprising amount of depth for its time.

You can fly for either side, and the planes handle differently enough that it matters—Spitfires feel nimble compared to the lumbering Heinkel bombers, and good luck surviving in a Stuka once fighters are on your tail. The missions stick close to history: as the RAF, you're mostly intercepting waves of bombers, while the Luftwaffe runs escort or bombing raids. The coolest part? In multi-crew planes, you can switch between pilot, gunner, and bombardier seats mid-flight.

Campaign mode is where it gets really interesting. You manage squadrons on a map, assigning them to missions that actually shift the course of the war. It’s satisfying to see your decisions ripple through—lose too many fighters in one sortie, and suddenly your airfields are sitting ducks. There’s even a mission editor if you want to cook up your own scenarios, plus a replay feature to watch your dogfights afterward (or laugh at your crash landings).

It’s definitely old-school—no hand-holding, just manuals and trial-by-fire—but that roughness adds to the immersion. You’ll remember the first time you barely limp home with a smoking engine.
