About Blue Max: Aces of the Great War

Forget glory, friend. Think survival.

The “Pour le Merite” or Blue Max fighter pilots were something to be both admired and feared. An award given to the best German pilots of World War I, if you ended up in the sights of a Blue Max plane, you knew your flying days were over.

Originally released in 1991 by Artech Digital Entertainment, Blue Max: Aces of the Great War is a classic flight simulator that takes you right into the fray as a World War I flying ace. Choose from 8 different planes, such as Fokkers, Sopwiths, Spads to take down enemy planes or capture surveillance behind enemy lines. If real time flying simulators aren’t your thing, Blue Max can also change dogfights into strategic turn-based battles, taking your challenge out of the sky and onto a 3D tactical map.

Step into the cockpit in Blue Max: Aces of the Great War, and experience the strategy and thrills of the best fighter pilots of their time.
  • Take your dogfights to a 2D tactical map, executing turn based strategies against your opponents with an unique 3D simulation to visualize your best plan of attack
  • Fly high in 8 historic fighter planes such as Albatross DIII, Fokker DVII, and more!
  • Multiple 3D angles for more visibility when dodging and diving in the heat of a dogfight
  • Shoot down enemy planes or fly skillfully over enemy territory for surveillance as you engage in captivating gameplay featuring multiple mission options and several historical locations.

BlueMAX: Aces of the Great war is a great retro game and amazing for its time. The controls are not shown to the starter without proper research, however when you learn them its quite easy to use it. The Graphics... are as good as retro games hold. \ But, I wish there was more campaign levels, but this game is far left behind. Propably wont get another update, but if it does, i will totally play it. Additional notes (less important): the hardest thing in the game is the deceleration and the landing. The key to decelerate was difficult to find and landing itself is a hard task.

Its not anywhere as good as Red Baron or Flying Corps Gold, but this title still has an atmosphere to it i like, and challenge and some unique concepts. I know that overall though its probably down low on teh list of WW1 aviation sims, but i like it nonetheless.

Well... Its not Exactly Red Baron or Wings of Glory or Knights of the Sky or Wings but its okay I guess. A classic with strategic as well as action modes. Its more of an arcade flying sim with hot seat multiplayer as well as only three campaigns. RATING 5/10
