Growing up, this was the first game I played for hours on end, forsaking school and homework just to get that thrill of shooting down some of the best aces in WW1. FOr those unfamilier with this game, you play as either a British, French, or German airman, flying missions against the enemy, ranging from dogfights, to escort duties, to aerodrome attacks, in perisod aircraft. The best thing about this game: the open endedness. You don't have to do the mission, and then land. You can continue flying, creating as much havoc as possible. A must buy for aviation, simulator, and history fans.
I loved this game in college for two reasons-the realism when you shot your target (realistic bullet hole and blood smear) and the amount of planning you can use to accomplish the mission. A true classic.
