Ace of Aces is the 7800 adaptation of Accolade's aerial-combat simulator, originally published on 8-bit computers in the mid-80s. It puts the player in the cockpit of an Allied fighter during World War II, combining cockpit view, navigation map, and combat against planes and ground targets within the same session.
It's representative of a type of game rare in the 7800 catalog: the simulator with multiple information screens, closer to home computers than to arcade games. It's of interest today to anyone wanting to see just how far the 7800 stretched the genre before the arrival of more sophisticated simulators.
