Description
Released in 1989 by Lucasfilm Games, Their Finest Hour is the second installment of their World War II trilogy. It released for the Amiga, Atari ST, and MS-DOS, with no further releases. It uniquely uses a physical "cipher wheel" to decrypt radio frequencies in the game, doubling as copy protection.
The package includes a 200 page manual, a reference booklet, two 3.5" floppy disks, and a cipher wheel.

The game was incredibly well received by magazines, getting a perfect 10/10 on Games International and the Computer Gaming World Hall of Fame.
