Carrier Aces (キャリアエース, "Carrier Aces") is a flight simulation game released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1995

Gameplay[edit]

Players control an aircraft pilot of either the United States or the Japanese naval aviations during World War II. Based aboard an aircraft carrier, players can do numerous missions in an effort to help the war effort. Campaign modes allow for all aircraft to have their own statistics and allow players to carry certain types of aircraft into the combat zone.

All aircraft come equipped with a throttle, a speedometer, an altimeter, a compass, and a fuel tank.

Reception[edit]

On release, Famicom Tsūshin scored the game an 18 out of 40.[2] Electronic Gaming Monthly gave it a 6.4 out of 10, commenting that "Carrier Aces does a great job of putting you in the cockpit of a classic fighter, and the strategy and two-player elements are a nice touch."[1] GamePro praised the game for its variety of missions, well-balanced split screen, and engaging sounds, though they complained that the dogfighting is too difficult.[9]

Notes[edit]
