Ace of Aces could be one of the most unique games you’ve seen in a long time. Using only two game books to simulate an entire aerial combat!

...

First released in 1980, Ace of Aces is the first of the Handy Rotary Series. It was a series of game books that were designed to be played in a 2 player game. The principle of each game was that each page would represent a specific game state of both players.

A friend of mine had a copy of this back in the 1980s. Great fun, albeit slightly clunky to play.

Nice. I've got some that are inspired by it, there's not much depth but it was a fun concept when we didn't have other options.
