Pearl Harbour

Pearl Harbour is a video game in the action genre originally released in 1988. It is currently playable on DOS.

Pearl Harbour takes you to December 7, 1942 (interestingly, that's exactly one year after the historic battle - again, not the worst case of revisionism in gaming). You're in charge of an anti-aircraft gunship overlooking the waters, just as the first Japanese planes are spotted on the horizon. Your objective: shoot them down before they sink the entire fleet, or eliminate you.

The game presents the action from a first-person view, and features some realistic simulation aspects: enemy aircraft speeds, falling bombs and fired shells are true to life (relative to each other); ballistic trajectory must be taken into account when aiming. Japanese bombers go after standing ships first: the more they manage to sink, the higher the probability that they will target your position instead (this is shown as a number, next to your kill count).

When the fleet or your cannon is destroyed, the game ends. The shareware version limits you to 200 rounds of ammunition; the registered version removes this limit, keeps track of high scores, and includes the game source code.

It is possible that we have multiple downloads available when different versions exist.
