Falcon_BlizZACK Posted September 30, 2007 Posted September 30, 2007 Anyone remember these gems? The days when EA were quite respectable. Ahh, I can remember grabbing fuel tanks while evading enemy fire. I was hooked on these games as a young'n.
mcj metroid Posted September 30, 2007 Posted September 30, 2007 Yes desert and urban strike i have played... I don't know exactly how I missed jungle strike.. Mostly urban strike was a very good game.. This is when EA were in their prime. It's a long enough game too and difficult at times.. Good times playing these:)
Zechs Merquise Posted October 1, 2007 Posted October 1, 2007 I never actually played this strangely enough.
Tellyn Posted October 1, 2007 Posted October 1, 2007 EA haven't gotten in on the VC game surprisingly.
mcj metroid Posted October 1, 2007 Posted October 1, 2007 EA have some grea retro games for those that remember risky woods, james pond and urban strike among others. They will never release fifa games on vc though.

That was real epic stuff...For a 10 year old. ...Fifa 95 was great in a tme of over head football, with only torsos and legs showing only when they kick a ball.
mcj metroid Posted October 1, 2007 Posted October 1, 2007 I remember a few tunes from it.. the music was great.. Some people didnt like but it was challenging so maybe that was why.
tapedeck Posted October 1, 2007 Posted October 1, 2007 I never liked any of the strike series when I was younger. It seemed too "grown up" and when I tried it I always got nailed lol. Picking up a POW who was running across the desert and seeing the little winch come down on Desert Strike was amazing though. Nuclear Strike (or was it Urban Strike!) on the N64 was pretty decent though. EA should bring this back. Could be great to control with the Wii nunchuck/mote combo.
Falcon_BlizZACK Posted October 1, 2007 Author Posted October 1, 2007 I only have bad memories of Jungle Strike. I kinda understand...Jungle strike was a bit outthere at times; I remember a jungle level...during night time...With Stealth Bombers attacking you!...Wait a minute! Was Jungle Strike the game where you could be a hover craft and a Bomber plane?...What am I talking about - that game was the greatest...IMO. I loved Urban Strike for the different helicopters you could use. Man, thinking back, I find t amazing our young minds could cope with this...Honestly, these games only added to my wisdom.
Cube Posted October 1, 2007 Posted October 1, 2007 Some people didnt like but it was challenging so maybe that was why. It was well over 10 years ago when I last played it. Actually, looking at sreenshots it was Desert Strike.
mcj metroid Posted October 7, 2007 Posted October 7, 2007 hmh but ya i cleared harder games when i was younger than i would now. I never got much into desert strike.. it was urban strike i owned.
Hero-of-Time Posted October 7, 2007 Posted October 7, 2007 I loved the first 3 Strike games and used to play them loads on my Megadrive. Once Sovient Strike came out though I was sick of the series. I would gladly pay for Desert Strike on the VC though.
darksnowman Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 I played Desert Strike on both Snes and Megadrive, I found it do be a pretty good game but its never been a classic in my mind. Picking up the people was fun in a strange sorta way.
Wesley Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 Desert Strike on the Megadrive was awesome.... I loved it. Found it quite hard at the time but still loved it.
