Microprose really are bringing all the hits back. I loved the original Gunship and Gunship 2000 games back in the day so looking forward to this.

That looks really good, hope it comes out on GeForce Now which has joystick support, which your 100% need I suspect!

The already did - an original B-17 Flying fortress game called "B-17 - The Mighty 8th" and a remaster of the same game called "Redux".

B-17 Original - https://store.steampowered.com/app/328900/B17_Flyi...

B-17 Redux - https://store.steampowered.com/app/2000800/B17_Fly...




Then there's the modern version of a B-17 game still in development by Microprose too called "B-17 - The Bloody 100th" -

Modern Game - https://store.steampowered.com/app/1752530/B17_Fly...




Effectively "Microprose" sold the rights to a lot of their games to developers who are just updating their older games from the 90's into a version which works on modern Win10/11 PC's, but Mircoprose still get to distribute theese new game.

So if you liked an old Microprose game, have a look as you'll likely find that its been (or being) reissued, updated or remake right now.
