Play Sky Mission (Japan) Online

Sky Mission (or Wings 2: Aces High if you're outside Japan) is one of those SNES flight sims that somehow makes pixelated dogfights feel intense. You're thrown right into the cockpit—no hand-holding—with a chunky radar, a fuel gauge that actually matters, and these weirdly satisfying little explosions when you clip an enemy plane’s wing. The first mission’s just basic patrol, but by mission three you’re dodging flak while trying not to stall out over the ocean.

It’s definitely got that early ‘90s Namco jank—the controls take some getting used to, and the music loops like crazy—but there’s something about the way the clouds scroll past that still feels cool. Just don’t expect Ace Combat. This is more like a arcade cabinet someone crammed into a cartridge.
