My obcession with WWII began when i was 12 and was first introduced to Air Warrior for DOS. It was a multiplayer flight simulator game that grew 5 versions to Air Warrior 3D. In the end the game ended up supporting 50+ aircraft, and up to 350 players in one arena. I have found that since then any game that has some sort of historical plot to it also leads to a general education about the subject. Since the death of Air Warrior III I have shifted my focus from learning about the aerial combat over europe and the pacific to try to grasp an understanding of what it was really like for those who fought for our freedom on land and in the sea. I think that in the end the invaluable portion of gaming is the historical education one recieves. Having fun is just an added bonus.
