  • Heroes of the Pacific is an obscure historical World War 2 flight game that everyone from its publishers, all the way to its players seems to have forgotten. With this review and video, I hope to convince at least a few of you to try this retro PC game out.

    I've heard some complaints that the original ISO files were too complicated to work, so I've compressed a pre-installed version of game that should run right off the bat. The only thing you need is WinRAR to extract the game file. If Windows Defender throws a fit, make an exception for the folder you're extracting it to. Otherwise, you should be able to launch the game just fine through Heroes(dot)exe

    I have to say, you providing a link is probably one of the best things you could have done, you've probably just preserved this game by yourself. It's a shame just how many games fade away, get delisted, or just forgotten we NEED preservation and the ability for future generations to play games like these.

    Cool video! I'm playing through the game right now. It's insane how it just runs without any issues on windows 10.
    If there is anything I can say I didn't like was the microphone, it fluctuates a lot.
    Keep it up! Very entertaining

    This was one of my first computer games that I actually owned! I enjoyed it so much that I lost count of how many times I replayed its campaign. It also got me into military history and, among other things, eventually inspired me to join the Navy. This game definitely deserves a remaster!

    this game was ported to PS2. While the graphics were a bit choppier, the game still played extraordinary well. Top notch sound effects, fun storyline, I think it's the best WW2 game on PlayStation 2.

    kind of confusing they went with midway for the torpedo mission when the yamato the largest battleship ever was sunk by american aerial torpedos that probably could have made for a better place to put a torpedo mission

    • @fernandomarques5166
      @fernandomarques5166 Рік тому +4

      I'm guessing because Midway was the combat debut of the TBF Avenger, also probably to not have two dive bombing major battles in a row (sink the Shoho).
      One thing that always bothered me about the game was the lack of the SB2C Helldiver, don't get me wrong I love the SBD as much as the next guy but I could use the extra firepower those 20mm cannons bring on a few missions

    For some reason what the instructor said to Crow on the torpedo tutorial as they go to drop on the second ship, always stuck with me.
    “Same thing as before, same hight and speed”
    It’s probably a slight variation on that since it’s been over a decade since I played. But I have no idea why that stuck with me 😂

    LOVE THIS GAME!!!! I have been trying to find out how I can play this game on my PC or online. Can you please help me? I have the version from 2005 for PC but the game is so old, it will not install on my new pc. Is PlayStation 2 the only PlayStation that it is on? I greatly appreciate your help!

      Bad news, buddy. I tried to trigger the video by idling on the main menu but it wouldn't do it. I then digged into the game's file and couldn't find any such video, only the historical footage used for the campaign. It might not be included on the PC version.
