I never played this game in the arcades, but it looks good for a game that was made in the early 1990s. It looks better than Falcon 3.0 which was the top rated flight simulator for MS-DOS in 1993. The emulated version is flawed, but if you subtract the flaws this game would look a lot nicer. The scaling for this game is amazing, it scales the graphics so effortlessly. The graphics are lack textures; however, that was expected for flight simulator games made in the early 1990s.
Air Combat was made by Namco which was the same company that made the Ace Combat series for the Playstation 1 to the Playstation 4. It wasn't a realistic flight simulator game, it was more of a arcade simulator game. Never the less, it was fun, and the Air Combat series enabled Namco to transition to the Ace Combat series which became a very successful franchise for Namco in the future.
Air Combat 22 was a sequel to this game, and it was had much better graphics with textures. The programming for this game and Air Combat 22 were excellent. The game was so smooth, and it takes great programming skills to make a game like that.
You can play these old games, I have a directory on my website that have links to all my videos about emulator tutorials.

From this to Skies Unknown. Jesus, look at how much this game has evolved since this.
Yeah, AC7 has far more F-15's.
I was fortunate enough to have played this at an arcade when I was a kid, I was blown away by the cabin design of the arcade machine and had become a flight games fan ever since!
This was a great arcade flight simulator, the graphics were very good at the time. I think Namco used this game to produce the Ace Combat series for the Playstation 2.
I loved the fact the sound made the seat rumble at the beginning when you took off. That was about as close as you could get to realism. I think the very first AR arcade machines has only just appeared. That broke your neck when you tried to wear them. 😂
@@Ace1000ks19751982 i used to play this at an arcade(now no longer exist) when i was a kid, it was a part of my childhood that was almost forgotten(thanks to the Google)
@@Ace1000ks19751982this was far too real look’s as though you’re a real Air Force pilot.
I did play this title in the arcades at the time, it was a big and beautiful machine
That vintage anime explosion sound.
Straight out of Fizz Sound Creation's library.
I remember coming home one day after playing this game at the mall and calling my dad while he was on TDY somewhere across the planet. I found it odd that I was shooting down B-52s and I asked him “Were B-52’s ever bad guys??” He paused for a moment and said “No they were not, thank you very much.” (He was a former radar nav on them). Of course, at the time I assumed the arcade game had you flying for the USAF. (I was 8 or so)
Ahah I guess that depends on which end of their ordnance you're located xD
It was the United Nations Forces. You know this game has a story.
Operation Menu, Operation Freedom Deal
@@Random-yh9tj as per my comment, I was 7 or 8 and played it once at the mall, never thought it had a story.
@@hazmatt3250 It is kinda of explained in the laserdisc.
This, and "Air Combat 22", can be thought of as Pilots (no pun intended) for the "Ace Combat" series.
This game was what led to the Ace Combat series. The graphics engine that was developed to make this game was used in the first Ace Combat game which was released for the Playstation 1.
As a young teen I must have spent hundreds of GBP playing this at the arcade. Loved it. Loved the soundtrack!
in Johor bahru, Plaza Angsana, there have this full size cockpit mockup and i loved that game
Nice! Played 95s Air Combat for PS1 these days. Good to know these pioneers.
Another arcade game that I still remember and presenting F-16s.
Nice graphics for 1992.
Yes, it had great graphics at that time.
@@Ace1000ks19751982 Yeah. Namco’s System 21 was pretty amazing.
one of my favorite games during undergrad in the late 90s. The key to winning is good throttle control. Don't waste time with missiles as they always miss. Just catch up and stay close but not too close, and guns guns guns. Beat it every time.
You never run out of cannons in this game.
Very impressive for 1992. Massive difference between the arcade and PS1 version.
The most genius thing in Ace Combats evolution was to put in fairy-tale like elements in their modern-military style stories. This is what makes Ace Combat for me.
It's an arcade simulator.
Assisted by Arsys Software (Star Cruiser, Knight Arms).
Ok.
Star Cruiser was far ahead of the time.
It's Starfield far before Starfield
Had no idea this was the beginning of the ace combat lineage. Had to stay at the mall where mom worked after school till my dad got home. She'd give me and my bro a couple of bucks to spend at the arcade thinking it would keep us busy for any hour or so. Id spend all the money in less than 5 minutes on this sucker. wonder where all the arcade units went
Those were the days when you could spend your free time at the mall arcade. Too bad, there are no more mall arcades. LOL
I’ll never forget that missile lock tone…
Cool.
Comparing Air Combat to Falcon 3.0 is a bit like comparing a Pacman to Skyrim. One is an arcade experience the other was the most detailed simulation experience available to most at the time, played over weeks and months in a campaign. Graphics on Falcon were impressive for the hardware it was running on (not cutting edge arcade GPU's) but it was about the simulation much more than the visuals.
RetroManCave I was comparing it to Falcon 3.0 in relation to graphics. All the Ace Combat games were arcade simulators, and they are different from PC simulators which were a lot more complex.
but you can't compare it in relation to the GFX because Falcon 3.0 needed much hardware power bacuse of the simulation. what was simulated in Ace Combat? right... nothing - like in every arcade game. but yes, it was a time were the hardware in arcades were lightyears away from that what you could buy for home entertainment...
Great thing was you didn't need to read a manual over several nights to learn any systems. It was the closest cabinet the arcades ever had to a simulator.
Which emulator did you use for this rom? Is it a particular version of mame ?
I think I used Mame32 Plus! 0.100 .
It's MAME, doesn't quite look right. How far has the emulation of this system come these days?
Not far.
Wikipedia is saying release is 1993, does anyone know the true release date?
It clearly states 1992 0:19 .
@@Ace1000ks19751982 I didn’t catch that, thank you
@@spider-man6049 Sure, no problem.
I think there might be some emulation errors what with the hud disappearing behind the landscape 😭
Software emulation is never perfect.
@@Ace1000ks19751982 yeah, such an old system that had only a few games not having perfect emulation makes sense
@@Butterstix2014 If you want perfect emulation, you need to get a FPGA board.
I was thinking about building one, but it's hard to come up with $500 to make one these days.
Wow, why are you shooting down passenger planes in this game?!
I think they are bombers.
Damn the amount of coins i used on this.
Arcade machines were designed to make money for the arcade owners.
the main enemies : B-52, B-2, Saab 37 Viggen, F-4 Phantom II
It looks like it.
@@Ace1000ks19751982 also Harrier, F-15, YF-23. I would say that this game is a long lost relic of my childhood
@@leminhtrinh5926 I never got that far in the game.
@@Ace1000ks19751982 me either
Last mission was a flanker.
