Play Strike Aces Online

Strike Aces is a combat flight simulator released in 1989 for the MS-DOS platform. Developed by Vektor Grafix Ltd and published by Accolade, Inc., the game is set within the context of the Strategic Air Command Bombing and Navigation Competition. This annual real-world event, held at Ellsworth Air Force Base in South Dakota, serves as the backdrop for the player's missions.

Players assume the role of a pilot competing in the event, selecting from six available aircraft to control from a first-person perspective. The core progression involves completing a series of sixteen structured missions that simulate the competition's challenges. These missions pit the player against seven different types of enemy aircraft in combat scenarios. For training purposes, a Free Flight mode is available to practice flying without specific objectives. Beyond the main campaign, the game includes a mission designer tool, allowing players to create and fly custom scenarios.
