Aces High: The True Air Duel Simulator

DOS · Combat Flight Simulator

Aces High: The True Air Duel Simulator is a DOS combat flight simulator developed by Paragon Software Corporation and published by Accolade. It focuses on close-range aerial combat rather than civilian flying, placing the player in historically styled fighter engagements. Missions emphasize finding opponents, lining up attacks, managing speed and altitude, and surviving return fire. The game uses a first-person cockpit perspective and presents a relatively direct simulation designed for home computers. Its play style sits between an arcade air-combat game and a more technical simulator, with aircraft handling and positioning remaining important while the mission structure stays accessible. Contemporary documentation presents it as a specialized air-duel title; detailed critical coverage is limited today, so its historical reputation is mainly as an early DOS combat-flight release.
