This was a great game. For some reason it reminds me a bit of Starwars Battlefront,especially the aerial dogfights, split screen mode, and minor resource management. Granted,Carrier Aces didn't have ground oriented troop battles too but considering the limitations of the time it was a remarkable piece of work!

Carrier Aces was one of my all time favorite games on any platform and the simple truth is, theres not much to it, you can play single or split screen split screen was my favorite
since you and a buddy take the role as a Japanese or US carrier with 12 planes on each carrier, and the object was simple protect your carrier and destroy your opponents.
The really cool thing about this game was if you got on your opponents tail in a dog fight and shot him up you cause the plain realistic damage like oil leaking out of the plain and if you flew to close up on him oil would be hitting your plane. Or if you shot the rudder off they cant steer the plain, it was these little effects that made this game so tense and real. Then the Torpedo bomber when you flew in close to drop that torpedo and the aa guns are just shredding you, or doing a dive bombing run not knowing if you will be able to pull out of the dive all the while fighters and aa guns are trying to destroy you. This was most definentlynone of my all time faves and playing with a freind was just awesome so if you have never played this on the snes I would highly recommend you checking it out just a blast to play and you must play it.
