About this game

Hellcat Ace is a classic first-person flight simulation in which players take on missions to shoot down Japanese fighters and bombers. Its cockpit view shows the sky and ocean ahead, while the instrument panel displays engine power, altitude, fuel, and ammunition.

A rear window provides a view of enemies pursuing the aircraft, adding an extra dimension to aerial combat. The game was developed and published by MicroProse Software.
