Publisher's description of Tactical Air Combat Simulator (TACS)
From Forever Games:TACS is a real-time strategy/arcade game for the Mac involving close-quarter biplane dogfighting for one to three players. You fight with World War I-era biplanes over a vector map. The computer AI controls the planes while you make the tactical decisions (see screen shot).
You must guide your team of biplanes to victory over the enemy teams. The biplanes' virtual pilots are equally proficient and use the exact same AI in battles. The real skill behind the game lies in your tactical decisions; you choose who fights whom and determine how you can get a tactical advantage over the enemy.

Version: Tactical Air Combat Simulator (TACS) 1.2
Summary: This game's great. It's not much of an actual game, but a simulator. Not a flight simulator, either, just a simulator. A little hard to get start, but within 5 minutes, you should be able to beat an amatuer computer.
