Ace of Aces (1987, DOS) is a game where you pilot a WWII plane via a series of still-image panels that suggest action more than deliver it. It’s like a flipbook with ambitions. You’ll toggle views, dodge bullets (sort of), and feel like you’re in a dogfight told by someone who once read about planes. Surprisingly addictive, despite the minimalism — it's what happens when your imagination works overtime to fill in the blanks.

There is an EGA version of the game, it appears that it was an upgrade that at first you had to send 5 off for, then later seems to have been offered for free, judging by pictures of the box artwork on Moby Games. I'm off in search now of the EGA version in the wilds of the Internet.
