Combat Aces

Developer: Unknown

Combat Aces delivers tight, arcade-style aerial combat on the Sega Genesis, putting players into intense dogfights and mission-based sorties. Players pilot a selection of armed aircraft through wave-based enemy encounters, dodging flak and trading fire with rival aces as levels escalate in difficulty. The game's straightforward controls and focus on reflex-driven action reward precise positioning and timing, while later stages demand resource management and patience. Packed with memorable chiptune sound and bold sprite work, Combat Aces captures the rush of retro shoot-'em-up design—ideal for short bursts of high-stakes play or repeated attempts to overcome its classic difficulty.
