Play Aces Of The Pacific Online

Aces of the Pacific is a combat flight simulator released in 1992 for MS-DOS. Developed by Dynamix, Inc. and published by Sierra On-Line, Inc., the game focuses on aerial combat in the Pacific Theater of World War II. It is presented from a first-person cockpit perspective.

Players control a pilot, choosing to serve in either the United States Navy, United States Army Air Forces, Imperial Japanese Navy, or Imperial Japanese Army Air Service. The core experience is divided between single missions and a broader career mode. In single missions, players engage in specific scenarios such as dogfights, escorting bombers, or attacking ground targets. The career mode allows pilots to progress through major historical battles or the entire war, with missions generated based on their chosen squadron and timeframe. A key gameplay element is the extensive roster of historically accurate aircraft, including fighters like the F4F Wildcat and A6M Zero, dive bombers such as the SBD Dauntless and D3A Val, and heavy bombers like the B-17. Managing the different flight characteristics and weapon systems of these planes is central to the experience.

The game includes numerous historical missions, such as the attack on Pearl Harbor and the Battle of Midway, which can be played from either side of the conflict. These missions are accessible individually or can occur within a career. Realism options allow players to adjust various simulation aspects, including pilot blackouts, weather effects, and collision settings. Operations vary depending on the selected aircraft and service branch, with naval aviators conducting takeoffs and landings from aircraft carriers, while army pilots operate from land bases.
