Microprose has risen from the ashes.

They are reinventing many of their past games.

The one I am most interested in is, as the title says, B-17 II (now called ""Redux")

New models all over! Meaning no more octagonal engine nacelles!

They have a running blog, https://www.microprose.com/news/b-17-the-mighty-8th-redux-dev-blog-1/

And the game can now be purchased and played on Steam!

B-17 Flying Fortress : The Mighty 8th Redux on Steam

The classic game remastered. Feel the power of flying a 10-men crew on a B-17 over occupied Europe in WWII. Plan the mission, choose your men and take action in every post onboard, from pilot to bombardier and machine gunners. Get ready for a high-flying adventure in this all-time classic remake.

Buggy as hell, however, and worse than it used to be.
But, they're working with 20 year old code, and programming written for 486 machines at best.
They're also incorporating a new core engine, most which will be for the Bloody 100th.
So I suspect it will be a rough ride for a while.
 
New update dropped yesterday, (Aug 22, 2024,) the O.D. skin now works.
Or the ground crews painted our birds!

I'm disappointed that they have toned down the insignia. Need anotherfix.

One of my favorite stories from the years I've been at my job was learning that a couple of our owners were out playing a round of golf. One was our resident Tuskegee Airman, the other was a B-17er. I'm pretty sure I remember the story being that he was in the 100th. While they we talking, they figured out that they had been bomber and escort on the same mission.
