PAW was a kick ass game for it's time. I mean once you got that bleepin' boot disk working, the game was rock solid. I don't think it ever crashed on me or gave me any trouble other than it being somewhat picky playing co-op over a phone line (would drop the game connection or lockup sometimes while playing over the phone.) single player it was faultless. as I said, my only problem being mainly that the enemy aircraft were just too darned hard to see.
there was an European Air War version too...not the later, more advanced EAW, but one of the same time and similar to PAW. oh wow, it had a TON of planes in it! it was set up much like Red Baron with you being able to transfer squadrons, get medals and promotions, get hospitalized or captured...plus it had these 'neat as hell' cut-scenes where in between missions your mechanic or armorer might jump up and start giving you 'scuttle-butt' about maybe the war would be over by Christmas, or how the Huns were losing the war, or perhaps warning you to be careful on your mission....things like that. VERY cool! and really made you feel like the game was real.
