I remember renting this game as a kid and spending upwards of 30 minutes trying to figure out how to play it. Most rented games didn't come with an instruction manual so you had to pretty much figure it out on your own. However this game with its special button presses (you move around in the plane by holding button 2 and pushing a direction) and awkward flying simulation meant not having it was going to be painful.
It isn't a really forgiving game so you are going to have to invest some time in learning how to play this well. Certainly not one of the better SMS games available.

Ace of Aces Trivia
Emulation Trivia
This game relies upon the BIOS setting various CPU registers to function correctly. Most games assume the registers aren't set and set them all themselves.
Are emulators like RetroCopy breaking the law?
No! The cold hard facts are there are numerous laws in place that make emulators 100% legal - as they should be! In the past a few companies have unsuccessfully threatened and taken other companies that have made emulators to court , trying to bully them out of their way. They have always lost because it is illegal to force a monopoly.
The only gray area in regards to emulators are when people pirate the games to use in emulators.
However in this day and age you can cheaply and easily buy the original games online (EBAY) or at markets and legally use them in emulators.
Not only that but there are also plenty of 100% free software/games (homebrew) available.
Some companies may want you to believe you have to keep buying the same game over and over again to legally play it but this is not true. These companies are laughing all the way to the bank as they slug their loyal fans multiple times for the exact same product.
How do I play this game in RetroCopy?
If you already own the original cartridge/disk/etc then you can look to Download Ace of Aces
If you purchase it on Wii Virtual Console (VC) or XBOX Live Arcade (XBLA) you can still legally download it. The reason for this is due to laws which allow you to backup software that you purchase.
Is this game available on Wii Virtual Console?
If you want to play classic games you should choose the most accurate emulator available to ensure you get an authentic experience.
In this case RetroCopy is a lot more accurate than Virtual Console so we recommend using RetroCopy when you can.
