Maybe someone can post a scan of the BOBII data or just tell us what it says...

Article with name above lists top 10 older sims that keep going strong.
"Battle of Britain
Whatever Jim Taylor, Rod Hyde, and Mark Shaw went on to do post-BoB really doesn't matter. Hidden object games, telemarketing, mass murder... all entirely forgivable in light of a sim that, thanks to regular updates from the Battle of Britain Design Group (BDG), feels as relevant now as it did the day it was released. Rowan's generous source code bequest in 2001 got the mod ball rolling. A2A Simulation's graphical overhaul in 2005 (BoB 2: Wings of Victory) kept it moving. It's the BDG though who've done most to keep the finest Finest Hour sim fighting fit. The latest Bob2 monkey-glands injection (2.12) adds peerless detail to piers, ports, and fighter stations, and ensures the game's extraordinary unscripted campaigns play better than ever."

Thanks, Randy. PC Gamer is and has been a good friend to BOBII over the many years of the BDG's struggle with enhancing BOBII.

Outstand recognition for the BDG and all its members.
