1942: The Pacific Air War was a DOS-based combat flight simulation released by MicroProse in 1994. It followed the U.S. and Japanese World War II conflict from 1942 to 1945.
[edit] Game overview
This simulation featured aerial combat, ground attack, and naval engagements in the Pacific Theater of Operations. The popularity of this game influenced the creation of European Air War, a sequel.
[edit] Game play
1942: Pacific Air War could be played as a flight simulator or a wargame. A player could fight a single battle in mission mode or follow the war in tour of duty mode.
In tour of duty mode, a player managed his fleets and air bases on a strategic campaign map. When aircraft engaged in battle, the player could choose to "jump" into the cockpit of any aircraft in combat.
