Yes, the 4 other games in the series:
Jungle Strike
Urban Strike
Soviet Strike
Nuclear Strike

>>10713150
you forgot this one

>>10713069
I've been playing Desert and Jungle Strike over the last few days and they're great. But I just tried Urban Strike and it's terrible. I turned it off after a few minutes. It's barely playable and runs so choppy and slow

>>10713616
i just tried the genesis version and it seems a lot better performance wise

The best Strike game is

>>10713069
I miss this genre like you wouldn't believe. What's even the name for it? Twin-stick shooter? Open-level western shmup? Isometric vehicle combat?

>>10714192
I don’t even know lol. I was thinking the same thing. It didn’t last very long.

>>10713989
Probably best to go with the Genesis version.
>>10713069
Probably the isometric Jurassic Park Lost World game, but I didn't play much of that.
>>10713928
Yeah, play them on the Genesis. Better screen resolution and performance.

>>10713989
Future Cop LAPD is good too.

>>10714192
not retro but play brigador

>>10714285
Already did long ago, it's like the only modern game like this.

Cousins were the only people I knew who had Sega consoles, these are the games I'd always play when I came over.

>>10714270
I only owned this, but used to rent Jungle Strike and Desert Strike

>>10714192
I believe it's called an Isowestern Schmup 'em up

>>10713069
Jungle Strike was much better.

>>10713315
And counter strike

>>10714803
That fucking stealth bomber level.

>>10713069
Return Fire is kind of like it and also Mass Destruction. Air Strike Patrol as well.

Great game! Great music. Madman for a villain. And overall a lot of fun to play.

Are there any other games like it?

>>10713069
>>10713150
Strikers, what do you think of red zone?

>>10715653
The Strike games don't hold a candle to how brutal this game is.

>>10715481
It's actually fun when you get a hang of it.
Landing is hell, though.
>>10715653
I didn't like it much back in the day.

>>10715653
Never played it. Any good?

>>10716182
Surprisingly, yes.
It just didn't click for me back in the day

>>10715626
Funny you post this here.
Story time & actually on-topic.
Sell the Strike series to me, /vr/.
When I was a kid, my friend at school had a Genesis and kept telling me about Sonic. He would talk about it every day, and I would get really curious about it. One day he invited me to his house and finally I would be able to play this Sonic game. But I don't know why, can't remember what excuse he got, Sonic wasn't there, instead, it was Desert Strike. I remember we played it for some time and I got really bored. Gameplay seemed like a slog on the barren desert map, I remember being very bored.
Eventually I got my own Genesis with Sonic and Thunder Force 3 and loved the fuck out of them. And never played Desert Strike ever again.
Did I have a wrong impression?

Zeewolf and it's sequel Zeewolf 2: Wild Justice. One the Amiga were pretty good. Basically a strike game mashed with Zarch/Virus.

>Sell the Strike series to me, /vr/.
It's a blend of tactics and a decent shoot-em-up.
Latter is self-explanatory, you *usually* fly something and fuck shit up while performing a series of missions. It's fun.
Former comes from the fuel management and partly from the ammo/health management.
Fuel is tight and *known* fuel sources are often insufficient, so you need to plan and explore.
Same goes for ammo and health pickups in form or people, but you need to unload these people in specific locations to actually "redeem" health.
Now that I think about it, it's basically a survival game with a fuel instead of food.

>>10716285
Yeah, resource management is what makes it so good. And destructibility.

>>10713315
This was a stupid joke but I laughed at it.

>>10713069
These game feel a bit similar to me
Seek and destroy for DOS
ASP on snes
Thunderhawk sega cd
Return fire
Choplifter on sms

>>10714628
like Skeleton Krew

>>10715302
you son of a gun

>>10713069
They need to make a new one, but one where you control a toy helicopter defending a table full of food from annoying ants.
Dessert Strike

>>10716285
To add on this, Nuclear Strike is not so strict with fuel, plus it has a lot of different vehicles.

>>10713069
The AA with the genesis controller is so hard to aim sometimes... And if you lack missiles it's almost over for you.

Future Cop LAPD was made by the same devs and was started as a new Strike game.

There was something so cool about seeing that EA logo back then.
