Back in the 80s, before the age of HD, virtual dogfighting, my brother and I would take to the sky in Ace of Aces. The game plays a bit like a cooperative choose your own adventure novel. Each page shows your position from a first person cockpit view. The players choose their maneuver and a quick calculation sends them to a new page with a new view (ideally behind your opponent’s plane). I pulled my old copy out this week to play with Peabody. He picked it up rather quickly and seemed to like it. The game is out of print, but if you come a cross it at a used book sale, pick it up and take to the sky!
