Play Birds of Prey Online
Choose NATO or Soviets, then sweat through tense dogfights while your airbase gets bombed behind you—fighters dart, bombers lumber, and every mission could leave you stranded. Between sorties, you're scrambling to patch up runways and decide which planes to risk next.
Birds of Prey came out in 1992 as part of the MS-DOS Classic Games series, published by Electronic Arts. It was a flight combat sim from a time when 3D graphics were still emerging, and it ran on hardware that feels ancient now. The game put you in the cockpit during World War II, focusing on air combat without much hand-holding.
You pilot either Allied or Axis aircraft, completing missions like escorting bombers or engaging enemy fighters. The game uses a first-person cockpit view, and you manage throttle, weapons, and navigation manually. Missions are objective-based, often requiring you to destroy specific targets or protect friendly units. The pacing is deliberate, and the difficulty can be steep, especially with limited fuel and aggressive enemy AI. It feels immersive and demanding, pulling you into the tense reality of wartime flying.
Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
