C64-Longplay - Ace Of Aces

[@kukko83]

Great video! When I was a kid, my friend had a C64 and we played this game often. We used to put two seats in line and the one sitting in front was the pilot and the one in the back was the navigator. Damn.. I used to have imagination once..

[@mrblonde609]

Sounds pretty chilled and careless. I remember playing "Test Drive" on C64 back in the days and we pretended to drive to our grandparents in the game. My big brother and me. Such a nice time.

[@faszanatas78]

same here LOL

[@silverwolftheretrogamer9792]

Mikko Kukkonen me and my friend would do the same thing it was so much fun

[@murph7421]

This is such a wholesome comment, bless all you mofos.

[@drey8]

I did this with Ace but a Mosquito cockpit has two seats side by side, with the navigator just a little set back, has to be authentic!

[@SaschaReinsch]

That game was a masterpiece. My No. One on the C64 (I had a C128D), followed by "Defender of the Crown", "Elite" and "Giana Sisters". In terms of Flight Sims years later I had "IL2: Sturmovik" which had nice missions as well.

[@vindicator05]

That engine sound is as mesmerizing as it was back in those days :)

[@mrbrad4637]

I could fall asleep too it.. sounds very relaxing

[@frederickshawn713]

instaBlaster...

[@RaptureMusicOfficial]

I also love the engine sound of Night Mission (C64 Pinball game) :)

[@raymondyee2008]

Of course only later on we get in game engine noises close to that of the Merlin engine.

[@V8Lounge]

Ace of Aces was one of my favorite games in the C64 era. Great memorys. Greets from the V8Lounge, Neuwied Germany

[@markotienhaara3267]

My first "simulator" experience. I was blown away with it and still love sims. Thanks!

[@BlackburnBigdragon]

Frankly, I think that this game is one of the best looking flight simulators ever made for the C64. It really stands out. I mean, there are other C64 flight sims, but there are few that I can think of that really match this in terms of what it looks like and does for the time period on this computer.

[@paulthurston2883]

ACE by Cascade games is awesome too. I own both these games, vintage cassette versions.

[@ramireza6904]

Both game werent Simulators, not even close.

[@MallocArray]

Anytime I hear a propeller plane flying, this is what I think of.

[@MrBruno2000]

Had alot of fun with this, one of the best C64 games

[@mickeyscratcher]

As a ZX Spectrum owner, there were a couple of C64 games that made me envy my C64 owning friend when we played them in his house. Ace of Aces was one of those games.

[@onnisonni1876]

Oh the memories :)

[@Travis_22]

Same :)

[@DangerKennyB]

PrivateHudson90 Ditto :))

[@teemunieminen75]

I remember this was very fun game for World War 2 plane fans like me. I just knew bit too much about these planes and it bugged me how Mosquito on this game was only able to fly limited time with just one engine. In real life it had awesome performance and climbing capabilities even with one remaining engine ;-)

[@KingofPotatoPeople]

Teemu Nieminen I had the privilege of knowing a WW2 Mosquito pilot, a very humble man I learned a lot from. He used to really play down the threat.....”we just used to fly too high for the Germans to get us!”

[@pablopilot152]

En el 87 estaba como loco con ese juego, no lo podía creer, la vista del ala, ese motor, la compuerta, por dios en su época de otro planeta ese juego, para mí el mejor de la época, siempre me gustaron los aviones. Lastima que no lo hicieron con la tecnología de ahora para las actuales PC, sería una locura con los gráficos y efectos de hoy en día, sería una película.

[@Powers3848]

Same here. When when we visited my cousins family me and my cousin would sit the entire evening glued to the Commodore playing this back then.

[@NoOtherNickAvaiable]

Hah! remember playing this. Had no fucking idea how to control this damn plane, and what the fuck is going on around me but it was fun anyway :D

[@VulpeRenard]

The engine reminds me very much of Koronis Rift, the way the clouds fade into view.

[@chrish4596]

Geil das kenn ich auch noch. Das war ne Zeit.

[@Emulous79]

Oh wow, I was thinking of why nobody had longplayed this one, just recently. Well done :)

[@KnowYoutheDukeofArgyll1841]

Used to play this with the theme from 633 Squadron playing away in the background.

[@ananda_miaoyin]

Damn, you just threw me so far back into the Wayback Machine!! The Commodore 64 was an awesome computer back in the 80's.

[@racefaceec90]

the guy playing this is just a bit good.i was never that good at the game,but enjoyed it a lot.

[@drey8]

I had this, I remember the clouds being quite realistic! Shooting down the V1s was a very responsible job, think of the lives you were saving.

[@nightruler666]

I love how gamers complain about the frame rate they should be thankful that games run at 30fps

[@ibm5155]

Vampirerockstar Well, some parts of the game are tunning maybe at 2fps, and others at 30fps

[@BlackburnBigdragon]

I loved this game. I used to play it all the time. I remember it being a bit difficult to control. And I was never able to hit those submarines.

[@fenrat]

Holy shit you didn't miss once! Nothing wasted! Kudos to you my friend!

[@TheRetroByte]

Completely forgot about this game until a few days ago. Been playing it and I think its still cool today 😀😀

[@marianoatari4456]

mi padre jugaba a este gran juego yo era un niño y veia como parecia que estabamos en un avion de verdad, que locura!

[@robertmatton6529]

this little gem is more fun than the disgustingly overpriced shit they release now on ps4

[@glennledrew8347]

It's clear that the aerial target movement is a separate routine from that creating the clouds. The former is very much smoother than the latter in terms of frame rate, and there is what appears to be a little randomness introduced. This game reminds me of, and is not quite a massive leap beyond, the 70s era arcade game where you looked through a 'periscope' and fired torpedos at ships running across the line of sight.

[@jakerubino3233]

Man I loved this game when I was a kid!

[@whatever-yi1lf]

I had this game on the C64 way back in 86. This was one of my favourites in my games collection that i played very often. I am not sure if i completed the game. I would usually crash when flying in the clouds. Thanks for that, as it brought back many memories.

[@nightruler666]

+what ever did you have cloud insurance?

[@zjivagoh8190]

I remember thinking it looked really cool and tried it a few times but never took the time to learn it properly. Nice to see how it actually worked.

[@moujalout7563]

I always thought it was cool how they played "Pomp and Circumstance" in the beginning. Not sure why but it sounds cool and appropriate.

[@Akabackalooka]

Randy Savage was the pilot!

[@moujalout7563]

Thor Gram lol! yes that's true. It is a good, haunting tune though.

[@tarnetskygge]

It's because in Britain, the song "Land of Hope and Glory" is sung to that tune

[@ryangarritty9761]

Those bandits seemed very friendly. When I played, I almost always had the compass shot out and an engine fire.

[@openmind1966]

Ever get your windscreen riddled with bullet holes?

[@daveshen0880]

Wow. The planes splats when they are hit.

[@spookypunky]

Pretty cool when there's lightning and the enemy shoots through the canopy

[@TheCodedtestament]

This is a fantastic flight/combat sim and the strategy elements (such as the bombing of the train) make it very involving.

[@robertmiles9942]

Reminds me of Intellivision's B-17 Bomber

[@rwed13]

- johnson, we need you to to fly over 4 locations hit 12 targets w bombs, and fend off about 30 figters, for england - i'll need 12 bombs and about 30 bullets - ah, johnson, always precise, how very british of you

[@BlasterX86]

ahhh the memories..of falling.^^

[@WinLoveCry]

Love this game

[@wrestlingconnoisseur]

Easily the greatest game of all-time.

[@razorfett147]

Holy crap. I had this game for the Atari 7800. Loved it

[@Argumemnon]

Hours of fun with this one.

[@raymondyee2008]

Of course we know now that a Mosquito cockpit doesn’t look like that. Still we have yet to see it on GOG.

[@bigcolscommodorenostalgias6590]

Love this game so much even if it's a little too easy

[@vinnynj78]

Quite an enjoyable game back in the day

[@cosmicmacaque]

Oldschool games rulezz!

sweet memories

Had a vic20 badly wanted a c64 or amiga

[@Jimmythefish577]

I could never get this to load, no matter how many times I tried.

[@KarpowSCX]

Great game. :) I had this one in tape version of Solid Gold collection I think...

[@MrBruno2000]

I had it on tape too.

[@1teamski]

A classic! Thanks or the memories!

[@user-bm9he7zh6w]

Thanks for these memories🤗

[@spookypunky]

ya, thanks man! ace 2 and ace of aces vs. dad back in the day

[@darksuns7384]

Had this for the Atari 7800

[@uybabayun]

Looking for a game similar to this one. Any ideas? Platform: Commodore 64 Estimated year of release: Very late 80s Opening music of the game is space odyssey theme. You are controlling a plane and start shooting some chopters first. Then you land on the ground and start shooting tanks coming at you, sliding right and left. Then you fly again and start shooting jet planes that are faster than chopters in the first stage. Finally, you shoot other black planes that come behind you and you can see them before they come from your rear mirror.

[@paulthurston2883]

One of my favorites. I have it on the original cassette and packaging.

[@roadrunnerfirebird]

Oh yeah, i remember! Thx for uploading

Always preferred Dambusters to this. It just kind of lacked the same intensity.

Do you know what march is playing at the beginning? Is it original or quite famous?

Danke for the video.

Is it Mosquito?) Were any addon or modes for this game?
