I had Aces of the Pacific and Aces Over Europe. I didn't have a joystick. I played with the keyboard.

I also noticed an early form of wokeness (or political correctness, as it was then called). Although these games prided themselves on accuracy, the German WW II planes in Aces Over Europe didn't have swastikas.

I also had the Warthog helicopter video game, and (I think it was called Aces of the Deep) a submarine war game.

I read someplace that the lack of swastikas on the planes was due to German law— they wouldn’t be able to sell the games legally in Germany if the swastika was depicted.

I also had Aces of the Deep but never got into it. I preferred playing for the British or Americans (and if I remember right, Aces of the Deep you only got to play for the Germans). So, for sub warfare I’d play Silent Service II and for surface warfare the Great Naval Battles series from SSI.
