ACE 2 (an acronym for Air Combat Emulator 2) is a combat flight simulation game developed by Cascade Games. It was published in 1987 for the Commodore 64, Plus/4, ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC, and MS-DOS. The game is a sequel to Ace. The player takes the role of a fighter jet pilot on modern day missions in the Middle East. The display shows the plane's instrumentation and cockpit view. Reviews were mixed, with critics praising the new control scheme and introduction of multiplayer. Others criticized it for being oversimplified compared to its predecessor.
