"Spitfire Ace" is a flying combat video game for several 1980s home computer systems. It was one of the first video games designed and programmed by noted game industry figure Sid Meier. It was developed for Atari 400/800 (1982), Commodore 64 (1984) and DOS (as a booter, 1984). The Atari version was written by Meier and the game was ported to DOS by R. Donald Awalt.
