Wow ... kids ... back when I was playing this when I was 12 or so, this was as fluid and as graceful as real life. I was just watching it now, staring at my 42" screen, the warning messages saying "BANDITS NEARBY" and I'm still staring ... all I see are dots and blobs? There's BANDITS out there? I continue to stare blankly, searching the screen.
Then blobs seem to materialise into plane-ish things, and bullets start spraying. Ahh yes ... no wonder games were so difficult back then. We couldn't see SHIT.
I remember playing this with a joystick back when i was like 4 years old and being in complete awe of the game. Looking back now....man. You're right lol
I wonder if we will look at present games the same way we look at past games in the future.
Man I loved this game back in 1993. My little i486SX-33 would struggle at times when lots of planes were dog fighting and smoke columns were rising up from some air field I just bombed. Game became super smooth after I upgraded my SX-33 to an i486DX4-100 cpu. Everything ran like butter then. Really an excellent and fun game to play.
Was 14 when this game was released. Played it for hours back in the day. It got me hooked on WWII history. Wish it was on steam.
Amazing how the imagery and music and sound effects that I haven't seen or heard in 30 years are utterly familiar, recalled from the deep recesses of my mind. Incredible. Goes to show how many hours I played this title. It was such a step up from the Lucasarts WWII titles I also played the hell out of.
Played this for hours ... landings were always a pain. Man good times ...
I really wish someone would remake this game with modern graphics. I know there are other WW2 simulations like IL-2 but Aces had the best campaign mode.
If yo crash or dont complete your mission in IL-2 you have no choice but to redo it. In Aces, you still continue as long as you were not killed.
and you'd get a purple heart!
Some of those injury description panels were pretty funny. Lol
Not exactly true. You could parachute out of stricken plane, but then all would depend if you are over enemy of friendly territory. You would become a POW or continue the game. Water was specific problem. Since the game is mostly over Pacific ocean, sometimes if you flew as a Japanese, even if you were doing home defense missions against B-29 you would sometime have to bail out over sea. In that case more often than not you would become prisoner of war.
I played this game when I was a freshman in college. the RA for our floor spent most of his spare time in my room hogging my computer all semester playing it.
I remember being a kid playing this game for hours. My dad would fly and I would press the space bar to fire.
Come on bring back the aces line.. aces of the pacific europe and the deep with 2022 graphics omg
This was actually my first PC game. You didn't need a monster PC, I just bought a 386 SX 33 Mhz. I can't remember the music sounding this good though. I used an 8 bit Soundblaster Pro 2, figures. It gave decent sound and music at that time, though.
Yeah, it's weird how soundcards were as important as GPU's are nowadays back then. Could make a huge difference.

Awesome game for the time. Needed a beast back then! :)
No, I could play it just fine on my 386 SX at 33 Mhz. In fact, I made sure this thing ran fine before I bought the computer, my first PC. And while it was new, a 386 was considered entry-level for PC gamers. This really was a decent simulator and great game. "Pacific Strike" on the other hand, was an above average game with dazzling graphics. But to be able to play that one, you needed at least a 486 DX at 66 Mhz and then the framerate would drop if things got real busy. "Aces of the Pacific" was far superior and almost anyone could play it. Or perhaps you were still using an AT computer at the time. Another great simulator game about the Pacific War was Microprose's "Air War in the Pacific."
AudieHolland I had a 386 16mhz that could play swotl, but ran aces badly. I then upgraded (or rather my dad did) to a 386 dx 40mhz and then i thought it ran nicely on that.
BVargas78 Yep, that sounds entirely logical. A 386 sx 33Mhz PC would run "Aces" just fine while anything below that would struggle. A 386 dx 40Mhz PC is faster *and* it has a co-processor. What I loved about "Aces" compared to SWOTL: "Aces" was true 3D while SWOTL used 2D sprites for all the planes.
ahh...one of the first games i ever played when i was young, on my $4000 system with 166mhz intel celeron cpu, 8mb ram, 14 inch crt monitor, 10gb hdd and 2.1 stereo unknown brand speakers. good times. the cd came in a cool case though, very different for the time
10gb back then was a flex lol. If you had 10gb then you could get away with anything!
Man, that brought back memories. Thanks for the upload.
Glad you liked!
My first war sim game :D Jesus i was 14 at that time :D
Wow. Dari permainan ini saya bisa melihat peta negara Indonesia saat masih dikuasai oleh tentara Jepang dan masih banyak lagi misteri ketika kita memilih kubu tentara Jepang maka akan terlihat pulau jawa dan pulau Sumatra. Menurutku ini bukan sekedar permainan saja tetapi mengandung sejarah👍
Good times, good times....Well when I actually got it to run on my 386....lol
I played this when I was like 5. Full rows of Purple Hearts
I remember it ate conventional memory. I used a special boot disk for this game specifically for a long time.
Heheh, typical of many games... how many `memmaker`...
My 1993(ish) was defined by this game.
I miss this game lol
懐かしい。良くできたゲームだった。1946!の方も持ってた。
橘花で1回戦で12機撃墜とかやったなぁ。
My childhood! I played it all day, all night, and it kept me a virgin until the Pentium came into the market. Pentium was too fast, and the gameplay became impossible to react to enemy.
Back in 1992.
How can I find/download this game on my computer without the cd?
CD? My copy has 3 1/2 inch floppies. I just can't throw it away.
Back in the 1990as I played this game and thought it was amazing, now as I look at it; it really looks like sh**
Nah, as you said, it is 30 years old piece of software... cannot be compared to today standards.
@@Squakenet i loved the orange explosions as a 5 year old lol
"Keyboard Only"? Not sure that I'd attempt this game -- then OR now -- without a flight stick. (Or a HOTAS, though I couldn't even think of affording one as a high-school student back then.)
Wow terrifyingly bad compared to aces of the deep
