About this game

Computer Bismarck recreates the May 1941 Operation Rheinübung, as the German battleship Bismarck attempts to evade the Allied fleet, escape the North Atlantic, and raid Allied supply convoys.

Players can command either the British or German side. Gameplay includes searching the map by air, reviewing weather forecasts, moving ships, firing deck guns and torpedoes, and managing repairs during battle. Players can also fly Fairey Swordfish aircraft and conduct torpedo runs.

The German side wins if Bismarck escapes safely south or returns to France after sinking enemy ships.
