This is one of the smaller games in my backlog. Pe-2 Dive Bomber is a retro side-scrolling military aircraft PC game that I don't know much about... I tried before on Steam Deck but I couldn't get it to work properly, so when I got a new PC I tried to test it here too.
This game appears to be made for old computers, I wish I had it when I was younger with more time to spare... While I think the game is interesting, I don't want to invest the time I believe is required to understand its systems. So I stopped less than 10 minutes in...
Still, here's my footage if anyone is interested in this game:

Pe-2 Dive Bomber
The game is compromised of mission that has you prepare your aircraft, fueling it and equipping it with weapons/bombs, then you get to fly it...
The first mission I played was a tutorial for how to control this game, and the second mission had me fighting enemy aircrafts.. The instructions were good for both missions, and when I lose, it's clearly obvious why.
I believe this game will have less instructions as the time goes on, but for what I played, it provided just enough to not be too hand-holdy.
What do you think?
I've played quite a few games lately, and I posted about them on Inleo's Threads. Here are some:
