  • PAW:1942 is the latest WWII flightsim entry into the computer entertainment market. A few weeks earlier, Origin Systems released Pacific Strike (PS). I saw these two releases, as 2 different companies reaching for the same market. Both were aiming at a Memorial Day release date. This couldn't have been a coinsidence. Pacific Strike will be covered in another review I am going to be working on in the near future. In short though, Pacific Strike would only run semi-smoothly on the most highend 486DX2. To date I have not heard how Pacific Strike runs on a Pentium, or an OVERCLOCKED DX2. Keeping this in mind, the release of PAW was very much awaited by many.
