    • Abstract:
      The article reports on two recent titles that gives computer pilots a choice between World War I and World War II. Wings of War, the first computer title requires Microsoft Windows 98/Me/2000/XP, 1Ghz processor, 128 MB RAM, 3D video card with 32 MB RAM, also available for the Microsoft Xbox console, gives gamers a rare visit to the skies of World War I. The treatment here is totally fictional, however, with little attempt at realism. The planes in Wings of War fly in a world without physics, and thus flying is more like riding a magic carpet than frantically trying to keep a frame of wood and canvas aloft.
