The Advertising Blurb

A classic encounter between two of the most destructive forces of their kind ever conceived by man.

The Bismark... the most fearsome battle machine to ever haunt the seas.

The Grumman Avenger... a masterpiece of aeronautical engineering, designed specifically to combat the growing menace of warmongers and protect western fleets from attack by air and sea.

NIGHT RAIDER is the compulsive culmination of all aspects of this encounter and captures both the action and simulation of one of man's most memorable conflicts.

Review:

This is an ambitious but slow moving flight simulator with poor wireframe graphics.

The scenario itself is quite bizarre - as the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force put a lot of effort into hunting down the Bismark without the faintest sign of an American Grumman Avenger! It also does not help that the aircraft depicted in the advert is definitely not an Avenger, or any other known type for that matter, although it could possibly be a stylised two-engined version of a Lancaster.
