I had forgotten about this game. It was a fun time. I think there was a Jungle Strike also
The last memory I have of Desert Strike going to a local video game and card game place (Heebeegeebees in Ogden, Utah before they expanded) with some of my siblings and buying this for some portable system (GBA?) and starting to play.
I then heard the owner (who was still in the shop back then) say “We can do this the easy way or the hard way”. It had transpired that one of my siblings had tried to steal something. Cops got called, fun times.
For those curious, the rumor was that the easy way was police and the hard way was him chasing you with a bat
Someone is making a new one. I have it wishlisted on Steam. It is called Cleared Hot. Granted, I heard about it a LONG time ago and it still isn’t out.
Urban strike as well! I think it was urban strike that turned into a kind of top down shooter when you assaulted an enemy base about halfway into the game. 10 year old me could never get past that part.
Desert Strike was so cool.

Soviet Strike was really good. One of the first PlayStation games I played (rented from Blockbuster!)
I remember being blown away by the video cutscenes in a game.
Woah, I didn’t even know about this one.

Super Thunder Blade did this, same era too.
OMFSM YES! I’d forgotten all about that great game!
I could never figure out how to not get blown to smithereens by the SAM sites.
Kill the radars. If you haven’t killed the radar sites, the Rapier SAM sites are faster to detect, track and fire on you.
Holy shit thank you. I’m gonna go give it a try. Haha
Let me know how it turns out.
Game strategy advice for a 30+ year old game? I love this so much, you guys are awesome.
