Play Strike Aces Online

Strike Aces is that kind of MS-DOS game where you boot it up and within seconds you're already dodging missiles and lining up shots on enemy jets. The controls are simple—just enough to feel like you're flying, not so much that you're wrestling with a simulator. That first mission where you weave between canyon walls while your CRT monitor hums in the background? Pure 90s adrenaline.

The soundtrack deserves a shoutout—it's all crunchy synth beats that somehow make pixelated dogfights feel epic. And yeah, the graphics are blocky by today's standards, but there's something satisfying about how the explosions fill the screen with chunky orange pixels. If you've ever played After Burner on a Sega Genesis and wished it had more keyboard-clacking intensity, this is your jam.

Honestly, half the fun is laughing at how hard it tries to be Top Gun with limited tech. But by mission three, you'll be leaning into turns like it's an actual cockpit. Just don't blame me when you start hearing the music in your sleep.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
