Desert Strike was so cool.

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.

Super Thunder Blade did this, same era too.

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.

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.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

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

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Let me know how it turns out.
