Play Ace of Aces Online
Pilot a Mosquito through chaotic WWII dogfights—dodging flak, blasting V-1 rockets, and praying your bombs hit U-boats while everything’s rendered in janky wireframes that somehow work.
Game Overview
Man, Ace of Aces on MS-DOS is one of those old-school flight sims that somehow makes pixelated dogfights feel intense. You're piloting a RAF Mosquito—this chunky twin-engine beast loaded with rockets and bombs—and the game just throws you into the chaos of WWII. One minute you're blasting V-1 rockets out of the sky, the next you're diving at a U-boat praying your bombs actually hit.
The controls take a second to get used to (this is 1986, after all), but there's something satisfying about lining up a shot on a German bomber and watching it crumple after a well-placed cannon burst. Missions get wild fast—trains, fighters, even strafing runs on ground targets. Just don't expect fancy graphics; it's all wireframes and chunky sprites, but somehow that adds to the charm.
If you can handle the retro jank, it's a solid time capsule of early flight sims. Just keep an eye on your fuel gauge unless you fancy ditching in the Channel.
Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
