A game for two players in direct competition is quite a novelty, although we suspect it would soon wear off. There's no option in this game for one player competing with the computer.

The setting is a duel between two World War I biplanes. You can apply left or right rudder to steer your plane and the object is to shoot at your opponent; the computer records each time you score a hit and the game ends when one player achieves ten hits. It really is a very simple game and there is nothing special about the graphics, although the sound effects are very realistic. The games can be played with two joysticks, or alternatively one joystick and the keyboard. The game would probably have been much better given an adjustable skill level for each player and also for the ability to accelerate or decelerate the planes.

As it stands, the game becomes monotonous and would not hold the interest of an arcade game fanatic for long.
