Fun School 2: For the Under-6s
DOSEducational
How it plays
The player flies from a cockpit view and searches the sky for opposing aircraft. The central objective is to defeat enemy planes while preserving control of the aircraft and completing the assigned engagement.
Gameplay revolves around turning fights, altitude changes, speed management, aiming, and firing. Missions are structured as individual air battles rather than as a large open campaign. Progression is scenario-based; no reliable information confirms a separate character system, equipment tree, or persistent upgrade system.
Plan your run
Stay fast enough to maneuver, but avoid wasting speed in prolonged climbs or tight turns. Use altitude to create attack opportunities and disengage when an opponent gains a favorable position.
Keep the target within the gunsight before firing, and make short attacks instead of holding fire continuously. Watch the aircraft's attitude after every turn so that recovery does not leave you exposed.
Before you begin
Practice basic turns before attempting sustained dogfights.
Use altitude and speed as resources rather than turning continuously.
Fire only when the opponent is clearly within the gunsight.
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.
