Ace of Aces (video game)
Ace of Aces is a combat flight simulator developed by Artech Digital Entertainment in 1986. The game takes place during World War II and the player flies a RAF Mosquito long range fighter-bomber equipped with rockets, bombs and a cannon. Missions include destroying German fighter planes, bombers, V-1 flying bombs, U-boats, and trains.
Reception
Ace of Aces was Accolade's second best-selling Commodore game as of late 1987.[1] Compute! praised the graphics and sound of the Commodore 64 version of Ace of Aces.[2] A.N.A.L.O.G. preferred it to Infiltrator as an Atari 8-bit flight simulator.[3] 1991 and 1993 Computer Gaming World surveys of strategy and war games gave it one and a half stars out of five, calling it "somewhat ahistorical".[4][5]
