Gameplay

Blue Max: Aces of the Great War is a game in which players engage in aerial combat from World War I. [2]

Reception

M. Evan Brooks reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World , and stated that "The historical gamer may find the historical verisimilitude slighted too much to yield a simulator capable of being both a learning tool and an entertaining experience. However, as noted above, the game was designed for the general market; gamers who are more into "game" than "simulation" should find Blue Max enjoyable." [2]
